The updated curriculum places greater emphasis on practical observational skills and evaluating RV systems.

The RV Industry Association (RVIA) has completed the integration of the RV-C protocol into its website.

Owners rented out their motorhome via the Outdoorsy platform, which prohibits use at festivals.
