WASHINGTON, DC – With crude oil prices lingering in the low $60s per barrel, drivers are reaping the benefits at the pump, according to a report by the American Automobile Association. The national average is down about 3 cents from last week, returning to what it was a month ago: $3.16. While fuel prices are expected to remain on the lower side compared to last summer, weather is the wild card. The Atlantic hurricane season begins Sunday, and NOAA predicts a 60% chance of an above-normal season. Storms along the Gulf Coast can affect oil refineries and disrupt fuel deliveries, leading to a temporary increase in gas prices. 

Today’s National Average: $3.166 

One Week Ago: $3.195 

One Month Ago: $3.160 

One Year Ago: $3.574 

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand increased from 8.64 million b/d last week to 9.45. Total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 225.5 million barrels to 223.1. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.8 million barrels per day. 

Oil Market Dynamics 

At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI increased 95 cents to settle at $61.84 a barrel. The EIA reports that crude oil inventories decreased by 2.8 million barrels from the previous week. At 440.4 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 6% below the five-year average for this time of year. 

EV Charging 

The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same this past week at 36 cents. 

State Stats 

Gas 

The nation’s top 10 most expensive gasoline markets are California ($4.81), Hawaii ($4.48), Washington ($4.42), Oregon ($4.02), Nevada ($3.90), Alaska ($3.66), Illinois ($3.39), Idaho ($3.34), Arizona ($3.33), and Utah ($3.31). 

The nation’s top 10 least expensive gasoline markets are Mississippi ($2.65), Louisiana ($2.72), Tennessee ($2.72), Alabama ($2.74), Texas ($2.75), Arkansas ($2.80), South Carolina ($2.82), North Carolina ($2,837), Missouri ($2.86), and Kentucky ($2.875).

EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is a guest post by Scott Wilkes, owner of the RV Levitator.

When the founders of RV Levitator set out on their travel journey, they weren’t looking to start a business—they were looking for freedom. Like many full-time RVers, they left behind the routines of traditional life in search of flexibility, adventure, and a chance to reconnect with what really mattered: family, nature, and simplicity.

What began as a personal adventure gradually turned into something bigger. Along the way, they ran into the kind of everyday problems that every RVer faces — and one of those problems gave them an idea. They didn’t have investors, a product launch plan, or much business experience. What they did have was determination, creativity, and plenty of trial and error.

Launching RV Levitator quickly became one of the most difficult parts of their RV lifestyle. Not because they doubted the product — but because nearly every system seemed stacked against small startups.

Banks required high minimum balances and charged fees when they couldn’t maintain them. Facebook groups, which they had hoped would be a supportive space for a small American business, often removed their posts if they included a store link — while big brands were allowed to post links freely.

Then came Amazon. As shoppers, they’d assumed listing a product would be simple: upload some photos, write a description, and wait for the orders to roll in. In reality, it was a maze of backend settings, compliance requirements, advertising algorithms, and frustrating account holds. There was no instruction manual — just a lot of expensive lessons.

But they stuck with it.

Their persistence eventually paid off. The product they developed — the Levitator (RV Sewer Hose Support) is now helping RVers solve the same frustrating sewer hose issues they once faced. It’s rugged, compact, and works on any terrain — because that’s exactly what they needed when they were deep in the boondocks trying to get a proper setup.

They’re still learning and still refining. Like many small business owners, they continue to navigate the quirks of building something from the ground up in a big-brand world. But they’re proud of what they’ve created — and how they’ve created it: with grit, honesty, and support from the RV community.

For any RVer dreaming about launching something of their own: the road ahead may be tough, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Your ideas matter, your story matters, and there’s a community out here cheering you on.

Follow their journey and learn more about their Sewer Support Kit.

LAS VEGAS – Hotomobil, a Turkish camper brand with a strong presence in Europe, recently announced CyberGlad, a cabin designed for the Tesla Cybertruck, at Bitcoin 2025, according to a release.

Hotomobil designs and manufactures modular camper cabins intended for flexible, year-round travel. Its flagship product line, Gladiator, is compatible with mid-size and full-size trucks and now includes a custom model developed for new vehicle platforms. The cabins are built for ease of use-mountable or removable without tools, and with optional electric legs that allow for quick transfer between vehicles. An add-on rooftop tent can expand sleeping capacity to accommodate up to five people.

All Hotomobil campers are produced in Türkiye using yacht-grade materials and manufacturing techniques. Designed for four-season use, each unit features monoblock construction, robust insulation, and streamlined, aerodynamic profiles.

Already exporting nearly 80% of its production to Europe, the company is now expanding into North and South America, establishing operations across six continents, including Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

Hotomobil is certified by Volkswagen and Stellantis as an approved second-stage manufacturer and holds official European road registration.

Bitcoin 2025 Marks a First: A Fully Equipped Camper, Priced in Crypto

At the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Hotomobil introduced CyberGlad, a fully equipped living cabin designed for the Tesla Cybertruck and offered for sale in Bitcoin. The launch stood out at the event as the first time a camper was offered for sale in Bitcoin, combining mobile living with digital payments.

Hotomobil’s presence at the world’s largest cryptocurrency event was about more than introducing a new vehicle, it underscored a growing intersection between mobile living, technology, and alternative payment systems. As a brand known for bringing comfort and smart design to the road, Hotomobil used the event to highlight how the idea of “freedom” is evolving.

The newly launched CyberGlad drew attention with its aerodynamic monoblock body, four-season insulation, and tool-free setup using optional electric legs. An add-on rooftop tent extends sleeping capacity to five people. Designed for self-sufficiency and flexibility, the model targets those looking to live off-grid on their own terms, both physically and financially.

“CyberGlad isn’t just a camper. It’s a new take on freedom, independence, and how we live on the move,” said Pınar Kamçı, CEO of Hotomobil. “It reflects where road travel is going — electric, efficient, and more connected to how people want to live today. We’re continuing to develop solutions that fit this new era of mobility. Hotomobil is a young and forward-thinking brand that listens, adapts, and builds for the way people want to live tomorrow.”

As RVs and trailers become heavier and faster, the demand for high-performance tires is rising across the industry. For OEMs, dealers, and service professionals, understanding the technology behind these tires and how it supports customer expectations is key to staying competitive. Much like the trailers themselves, high-speed trailer (HST) tire technology has advanced swiftly to keep pace with the demands of today’s consumers. The trends shaping high-speed trailer tires are more than just numbers and specifications — they represent a blend of engineering innovation and consumer-driven design.

Increasing speed ratings and load capacities

One of the most notable shifts in the market is the growing demand for higher speed ratings and higher load capacities for tires. Historically, trailer tires might have been rated for speeds around 55 mph. Today, we’re seeing tires designed to handle speeds upwards of 87 mph or even more.

This shift reflects the changing habits of drivers that are towing utility, specialty, or livestock trailers and RVs, who often travel long distances at increasingly higher speeds.

Load capacity is another critical factor. Consumers are increasingly moving from semi-steel to all-steel tires and are also “plying up.” In industry terms, this means upgrading from, for example, a load range E (10-ply, 2830 pounds) tire to a load range F (12-ply, 3,080 pounds) or even G (14-ply, 4,080-4400 pounds). At Titan, we’ve expanded our offerings to include load ranges that go as high as J (18-ply, 4800-6000 pounds). These enhancements allow for greater carrying capacities, meeting the needs of RV owners and commercial operators alike.

The technology behind tires

Tires are more than just rubber — they’re highly-engineered pieces of technology. The speed rating of a tire is not just about velocity, it’s about how efficiently the tire can dissipate heat. Heat is both a creator and destroyer of tires, so the right compound is essential to manage heat buildup and ensure durability.

Load range and load index often work hand in hand. While load range defines the tire’s ply rating and general strength, load index provides a more specific measurement of the tire’s maximum carrying capacity. Together, these metrics help consumers select the right tire for their needs.

Addressing modern trailer tire demands

High-speed trailer tire technology has evolved to meet the increasing demands of lifestyle RV users and heavy-load haulers, including mitigating blowouts for high-speed, high-load travel. One example of these advancements is the Carlstar CSL 16, a tire designed with an all-steel body ply to enhance strength and longevity. With a load capacity ranging from 3,000 to 4,400 pounds, it offers reliable performance with reduced blowout risks.

Trends in trailer tire distribution and reliability

To meet the strong demand for high-speed trailer tires, it’s essential for manufacturers to prioritize investments in domestic inventory strategies to improve product availability.

Companies like Carlstar have adopted these trends, ensuring that North American consumers benefit from reduced lead times and enhanced accessibility. With distribution centers strategically located throughout the United States and Canada, these efforts reflect a broader shift toward improving supply chain efficiency and meeting consumer expectations.

Advances in trailer tire design

The ongoing innovation in trailer tires underscores an industry commitment to driver safety and convenience. By leveraging durable materials and incorporating cutting-edge technologies, manufacturers continue to deliver products that allow drivers to focus on their journey, not their tires.

For RV owners and trailer operators, these trends represent an exciting time. By staying informed and asking the right questions, you can ensure that your tires are up to the task — whether you’re traveling 50 or 85 mph, carrying a light load or thousands of pounds.

The CSL 16: meeting modern needs

The CSL 16 is a product that represents the evolution of high-speed trailer tire technology. Designed to address the limitations of traditional semi-steel trailer tires, it features an all-steel body ply for enhanced strength and longevity. With a load capacity of 3,000 to 4,400 pounds, the CSL 16 meets the demands of lifestyle RV users and others who need reliable performance.

One of the key benefits of the CSL 16 is its ability to mitigate the risk of blowouts — a common issue for overloaded RVs and trailers. By combining consumer insights with rigorous testing by Titan, we’ve developed a tire that stands up to the challenges of high-speed, high-load travel.

The Titan and Carlstar advantage

As a brand with deep roots in the RV industry, Carlstar — now under Titan’s leadership — continues to innovate while maintaining a strong reputation for reliability. Since launching the CSL 16 in 2017, we’ve prioritized domestic inventory, ensuring that consumers across North America have access to our products. With several distribution centers strategically located in the United States and Canada, availability is rarely an issue.

Ultimately, the advancements in high-speed trailer tires are about delivering peace of mind. Drivers want to focus on their journey, not their tires. At Titan, we’re proud to contribute to this goal by engineering tires that combine durability, reliability, and cutting-edge technology.

Options range from fully furnished cabins and lodges to glamping pods, covered wagons, tipis, yurts, treehouses, safari tents, and other unique accommodations

Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts offer much more than organized family activities with Yogi Bear, Boo Boo, and Cindy Bear and some of the best water attractions in the campground industry, according to a release.

They also feature an ever-expanding array of family glamping units from beautifully appointed cabins to covered wagons, yurts, safari tents, treehouses, and other unique accommodations.

“We offer everything from small cabins to huge bunkhouses and lodges that are popular for family reunions, weddings, anniversaries, and other special celebrations,” said Trent Hershenson, vice president of marketing for Camp Jellystone, the Southfield, Michigan-based company that franchises Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts across the United States and Canada.

With more than 75 franchised locations, Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts operates in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences.

The Jellystone Park location in Glen, N.H., complements its cabin lineup with cozy glamping pods that sleep up to four as well as its unique Bear-A-Dise Bungalows, tiny home-type cabins that sleep two adults.

The Jellystone Park location in Carver, Mass., complements its standard cabin lineup with miniature Bear Cub Glamping Pods that look like tiny cabins while the location in Tabor City, N.C.,
offers glamping options that include both cabins and yurts.

Meanwhile, the Jellystone Park location near Dallas in Burleson, Texas complements its one- and two-bedroom cabins with furnished glamping tipis, covered wagons, and repurposed grain silos.

The furnished tipis, which sleep up to 7, include a plush king-size bed, a set of queen/twin bunk beds, a futon, as well as heating and air-conditioning. The tipis come equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, and a dinette set as well as private grill and picnic table.

The location’s furnished covered wagons sleep up to 6 people. They include a king-size bed and two sets of twin bunk beds, all with high-quality mattresses and linens. The covered wagons also have heating and air conditioning, a custom-made wagon wheel table with seating, a small fridge, and a microwave.

Some of the Burleson location’s more unique glamping units, however, are its two-story cabins that are made out of repurposed grain bins. Each grain bin cabin has a spiral staircase leading up to the second story, which features a half bath and two cozy bunk beds. The downstairs area has a full kitchen with plenty of room for preparing meals as well as a full bathroom.

The Burleson location even has a 260-foot-long pirate ship with 10 two-bedroom vacation cabin suites, definitely not a typical campground accommodation.

Meanwhile, the Jellystone Park location in Larkspur, Colo., complements offer elite cabins with hot tubs while the Jellystone Park in Mill Run, Penn., has two-story treehouses that look like something out of a children’s storybook. The park’s Appalachian Treehouse, for example, comes with its own tree shaped base, log cabin style siding, and a stone fireplace.

The Jellystone Park location in Bostic, N.C., for its part, offers a variety of cabins and lodges as well as furnished lakeview glamping tents and treetop cabins, which are essentially cabins on stilts. 

Many Jellystone Park locations also offer bunkhouses and lodges that offer glamping-style experiences for family reunions and other special events, including the North Monmouth, Me. location, which has a beautiful four-bedroom house that sleeps up to 16 people. The house includes a fireplace and a six-burner stove. 

Some Jellystone Park glamping units are even larger.

For example, the Fremont, Ind. location has a Three Bears Lodge that can sleep up to 19 people. Not to be outdone, the Jellystone Park location in Waller, Texas has a seven-bedroom Grand Lodge that can sleep up to 28 people.

Several Jellystone Park franchisees are continuing to add more glamping accommodations. Here’s a sampling of new family glamping units that will be available for rent this year:

Colorado

— Estes Park: This location is adding nine cabins for the 2025 season

Georgia

— Bremen: This location is completing a major expansion that includes over 200 new RV sites, 71 cabins and 10 covered wagons. It is also in the process of adding a new swimming pool, water slides, a splashground, and a large lake with boats and other water features. Additionally, this location is converting its existing store into an activity center.

— Cochran: This location is adding two furnished glamping tents.

Ohio

— Nova (Cleveland-Sandusky Market): This location added 72 premium RV sites last year as well as four cabins.

Wisconsin

— Caledonia: This location is adding two more of its top-of-the-line cabins, which sleep up to eight and feature a large screened porch with a fireplace and TV as well as a lofted deck.
