WASHINGTON– Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum announced on July 3 the launch of the Patriot Program – a three-year pilot initiative dedicated to restoring and revitalizing America’s public lands in honor of our nation’s 250th birthday.
Through this program, the Department of the Interior will engage in a public-private partnership to invest $250 million in critical infrastructure, preservation and public access projects at iconic sites to restore America’s greatness. Every federal dollar invested in the Patriot Program will be matched by 50 percent in private funding or in-kind contributions leveraging philanthropic support to amplify impacts, increase efficiency, and maximize impact of taxpayer resources. The scope includes historic preservation, masonry repairs, wildland fuel reduction, trail maintenance and improved access to iconic sites. To do this, the program will help ‘Make America Skilled Again’ by engaging youth and young adults in meaningful projects, provide hands-on training in skilled trades and foster pathways to sustainable career path all while rebuilding pride in American workmanship.
“Under the leadership of President Trump, America’s 250th birthday will stand as a proud testament to the greatness of our nation,” said Burgum. “As we begin the countdown to this historic milestone, Interior is proud to launch the Patriot Program, an initiative that will bring Americans together to honor our heroes, celebrate our shared history and preserve the iconic places that tell the story of our country. It is a privilege to help lead this nationwide tribute to the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
The Patriot Program is a signature initiative of the U.S. Department of the Interior, created as part of the America 250 commemoration in 2026. Developed in coordination with the White House, the program supports a nationwide celebration honoring 250 years of American independence and ideals. It reflects the directive of Executive Order 14189, issued by President Donald J. Trump, calling for a celebration worthy of this historic milestone.
TAMPA, Fla. — Lazydays Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQCM: GORV) announced today, July 10, that Ron Fleming has been appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Fleming has served as the company’s Interim CEO and a member of its Board of Directors since September 2024.
In a separate announcement, the company’s Board of Directors has approved the implementation of a reverse stock split of the company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share by a ratio of 1-for-30. The company will effect the Reverse Stock Split at a 1-for-30 ratio effective at 5 p.m. Eastern time on July 11, 2025. The company’s Common Stock is expected to begin trading on a Reverse Stock Split adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market at market open on July 14, 2025 under the existing symbol “GORV” and the new CUSIP number 52110H209. (see below)
Fleming’s appointment was applauded by Board Chairman Robert DeVincenzi.
“Since assuming the role of Interim CEO, Ron has led Lazydays with vision and passion, implementing an operational turnaround plan and executing a series of transactions meant to stabilize the business and position it for the future,” said DeVincenzi. “As a longtime Lazydays executive, he understands our business from the inside out, and his deep industry experience, relationships, and commitment to our people, customers, OEM partners, and shareholders make him the right leader at this important time for the Company.”
Ron Fleming
“It is a privilege to assume the CEO role on a permanent basis, and I am excited to continue to build on the progress we have made over the past 10 months,” Fleming said. “While there remains work to be done, Lazydays has a strong foundation and a dedicated team, and I am confident in our ability to return the Company to its leadership position while creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders.”
Fleming has been a leader in the RV industry for more than 40 years. Prior to rejoining Lazydays last year, he worked at the company from November 2013 to August 2023, first as general manager of the company’s flagship Tampa dealership until his promotion to vice president and national general manager overseeing all Lazydays locations. He rose to the position of senior vice president of operations, overseeing all operations at Lazydays, and was a key member of the senior leadership team that successfully led the company through a transaction to become a public company in 2018.
Reverse Stock Split
The company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Common Stock by a ratio of at least 1-for-2 and up to 1-for-30, as determined by the company’s Board of Directors, at Lazydays Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 3,
The Reverse Stock Split is primarily intended to increase the Company’s per share market price of its Common Stock to seek to regain compliance with the minimum per share bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
“This strategic initiative reflects our commitment to the long-term strength and stability of Lazydays. We are grateful for the continued support of our shareholders and remain focused on executing our operational turnaround plan,” Fleming said.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 30 shares of the Common Stock will be automatically combined into one new share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. If the shares of Common Stock held by any holder of Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split are collectively reclassified pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split into a fractional number of shares of Common Stock, the Company will issue to such holder such fractions of a share of Common Stock as are necessary to round the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holder immediately following the Reverse Stock Split up to the nearest whole number of shares. The Reverse Stock Split will not alter stockholders’ percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent of any de minimis change due to rounding up as described above.
The Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, will serve as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Registered stockholders holding pre-reverse split shares of the Company’s Common Stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-reverse split shares. Those stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to each broker’s particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any stockholder of record holding shares of the Company’s Common Stock in certificate form will receive a transmittal letter from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company with instructions as soon as practicable after the Reverse Stock Split.

MOSES LAKE, Wash. — Basin RV has been under new ownership for a year now, and the owners are getting more involved in the community, sponsoring the Brett Reese Memorial Car Show, the Sand Scorpions Bounty Hole, the Cowboy Breakfast and more, according to a report by the Columbia Basin Herald.
“We’ve got five kids ourselves,” said owner RJ McFadden. “They all go to school here in town. So camping in our community is kind of our thing, spreading the dollars here.”
RJ and his wife, Teri, both grew up in Moses Lake, they said. RJ owned the Skyline Miniature Golf Course for a while in the 2010s, and most recently operated a mobile RV repair service, Road Trip RV, with a friend. That’s what got him into the RV field, he said. When Basin RV became available, he jumped at it, he said.
The first step was to remodel, McFadden said. The previous owner was — and is; he still works at Basin RV part-time — highly skilled at RV repair, but the business looked like what it was, a repair shop.
EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is an excerpt of an article by Mike and Jennifer Wendland, creators of the RV Lifestyle website, podcast and YouTube channel, in which they discuss preparations RVers should take to prepare for weather-related emergencies.In the video, the Wendlands discuss the recent Texas floods.
In bad weather, RVs are seriously vulnerable. A sticks and bricks building is always safer. But because an RV, by its very definition, is mobile, it has one huge advantage over most structures: It can – and should! – be moved when there are dangerous weather warnings.
It’s not just hurricanes, of course. There are tornados, wildfires, blizzards, floods, electrical storms, and many other emergency situations that all RVers can encounter. Having an emergency plan and being prepared should be at the top of every RVers priority list.

I live in New York City and take the subway. I’ve never owned a car in my life. So, what was I doing piloting my family around Utah in a 24-foot-long Class C RV, hitting as many national and state parks as we could in a week? Blame my son, Calder, who, it turns out, may be a genius.
As far as we can tell, he got bitten by the RV bug after seeing the classic Disney short “Mickey’s Trailer” at age 5. He immediately begged to go on an RV trip, which we forgot for a few years until we clambered into our Airstream rental during a stay at AutoCamp in Joshua Tree and Calder all but burst into tears at the discovery it was stationary. He got his revenge this year, when he suggested we turn our spring break tradition of visiting national parks into a real RV adventure.
“Think of the money we’ll save on hotels,” he said. Instagram overheard us and I got served up a sponsored post for the German-based company Roadsurfer, promising a 20 percent discount. Next thing I knew, we were in Las Vegas, checking to make sure our black water tank was empty before hitting the road in a 12,000-pound vehicle with no rearview mirror.
Was it amazing? Yes. Were there things I wish I’d known ahead of time? Yes. And fortunately I’m here to share them with you.
President Trump signed an executive order Thursday calling on the national park system to charge higher entry fees for foreign visitors, according to reporting by CBS News.
It instructs Interior Secretary Doug Burgum — who oversees the National Park Service — to “develop a strategy” to hike entrance fees and recreation pass fees for non-U.S. residents at any national park that currently charges for entry.
“To fund improvements and enhanced experiences across the park system, I’ve just signed an executive order to raise entrance fees for foreign tourists while keeping prices low for Americans,” Mr. Trump said in a Thursday evening rally in Iowa. “The national parks will be about America first.”
CBS News has reached out to the Interior Department and the National Park Service regarding when the fee hike may take effect or how much the surcharge for nonresidents could cost.
In its 2026 fiscal year budget proposal released in May, the Interior Department estimated that such a surcharge would generate more than $90 million annually.
ANNANNDALE, N.J. — A unique collaboration between Camco, a leading manufacturer of premium solutions for recreational vehicles, and RV Overnights, the online platform and app that enables RV travelers to find uncommon, memorable one-night stays at small businesses across the United States and Canada, will give RV Overnights’ (RVO) hosts an opportunity to enhance their guests’ experiences and add another revenue stream, according to a release.
More than a thousand small business owners nationwide are currently host destinations within the RV Overnights network, including farms, animal rescues, amusement parks, museums, wineries, non-profits and more. RV Overnights members that visit Hosting Locations do not pay for their first night stay directly, the program instead encourages its members to support the local small business with purchases while visiting. Many hosts offer unique products, tours, tastings, and more. Some locations are even non-profits who accept donations in exchange for a visit.
Now, a value-add program enables RV Overnights’ hosts to create a Camco marketplace on-site stocked with essential RVing kits and supplies for guests to purchase, making it especially convenient for them to replenish important items or fix small repairs. Hosts will be provided an exclusive order form with special rates from Camco and product selections include everything from TST holding tank treatments, RhinoFLEX sewer hoses and sanitation gloves to Tastepure water filters and hoses, FasTen leveling blocks and Camco bath tissue.

“This partnership with RV Overnights represents an exciting opportunity for Camco to connect with RV enthusiasts in a whole new way,” says Lisa Schoder, chief marketing officer at Camco. “For nearly 60 years, Camco has been dedicated to making the RV lifestyle more enjoyable, and we understand that today’s RVers value both quality products and unique experiences. By providing RV Overnights hosts with our trusted essentials, we’re not only creating a convenient solution for travelers who may have forgotten crucial items, but we’re also empowering small business owners and property hosts with an additional revenue stream. It’s a natural fit that strengthens the entire RV community—from the family starting their first adventure to the seasoned full-timers who know the value of having the right gear when you need it.”
“At RV Overnights, we’re committed to supporting our hosts in every possible way, and helping them create real income opportunities is at the core of that commitment,” says Rob Case, founder of RV Overnights. “This partnership with Camco is a natural fit. It not only makes essential RV supplies more accessible for travelers right where they’re staying, but it also gives our hosts a new, simple way to boost profitability with each visit. This is the first collaboration of its kind in our space, and a great example of how we’re leading the industry with practical, common-sense innovations that serve both our members and hosts. We care deeply about the impact we have on small-town America, and we’ll continue to think creatively about how to strengthen and grow this community we’re so proud to be part of.”
