RV Daily: Shopping, Tours and Yosemite
November 4 RV news: Camping World results, Tiffin’s new floor plan, Fantasy’s tour search and Yosemite’s November reservation rules.
The RV Dummies editorial team · Published
November travel and next year’s shopping plans both reward a closer look at the details. Today’s roundup covers a major dealer’s latest results, a newly highlighted Super C floor plan, a redesigned guided-tour website and Yosemite reservations that continue deeper into fall than a quick seasonal assumption would suggest.
These are different kinds of updates: a quarterly financial report, a manufacturer’s product listing, an operator’s website launch and current park guidance. The useful question is what each changes about your own next decision. Here is what we verified for November 4, with the reporting dates kept separate from the dates that affect a trip.
Camping World reports a slower quarter
Camping World released its third-quarter results November 2 for the period ended September 30, 2026. It reported approximately $1.58 billion in revenue and a $320.1 million net loss, including $286.7 million of goodwill impairment. That impairment is an accounting charge, so the headline loss should not be treated as an equivalent amount of cash spent during the quarter.
Combined new and used vehicle unit sales fell 17.1% from the comparable quarter. New-vehicle average selling prices increased 11.7%, while used-vehicle average selling prices declined 4.2%. Management attributed the new-vehicle price increase to a richer mix of fifth wheels and motorized RVs. Those figures describe the company’s sales mix, not the price change on an identical RV.
For shoppers, the practical move is to compare actual units and complete written offers. A companywide average cannot tell you whether a particular trailer is a bargain. Keep the model year, installed equipment, condition, delivery work and final price together when comparing offers. If you already own your rig, keep your service appointment and warranty questions tied to your specific location rather than drawing conclusions about them from the earnings headline.

Tiffin puts the new 38 EB in view
Tiffin’s 2027 Allegro Bay page now lists the 38 EB as a new floor plan alongside the 38 AB, 38 BB and shorter 34 DB. RVBusiness highlighted a manufacturer walkthrough on November 3. This is a useful new option to compare within the Super C range, rather than evidence that a particular dealer has your preferred configuration ready to deliver.
The manufacturer describes the four-plan lineup as under 40 feet and lists a Cummins diesel rated at 360 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque. Those are manufacturer specifications, not independent road-test findings. We have not driven this coach or verified the equipment on a retail unit. Use the current model page and the actual coach’s paperwork together, especially when comparing a 2026 advertisement with the 2027 lineup.
Our shopping suggestion is to turn the walkthrough into a short list of things to try in person. Can everyone sit comfortably where you expect to spend an evening? Can you reach the storage you use every travel day? Ask the dealer to demonstrate the layout in the configurations you would actually use, including the manufacturer-approved travel position. A spacious-looking photograph cannot answer those questions.
Also bring your campsite shortlist. A floor plan that works beautifully indoors still has to suit the destinations you want to visit. Record the exact coach dimensions rather than using the floor-plan number as a length measurement. Leave enough time in the visit to examine daily routines, not just finishes and entertainment features.

Fantasy’s new search helps compare guided trips
Fantasy RV Tours has redesigned its website around finding and comparing guided trips. RVBusiness reported the announcement November 3 and identified October 13 as the launch date. The homepage we checked offers destination, season, year and trip-length search fields. An expanded guest portal was described as a later phase, so we are not presenting those planned features as already available.
The distinction between a caravan and a rally is worth making before comparing prices. Fantasy’s own explanation describes a caravan as a trip with multiple destinations and a rally as a gathering at one destination. It also says travelers can drive independently between stops, provided they arrive for scheduled activities. That gives you a better starting point than assuming every guided trip means following a continuous convoy.
As one concrete example, its Western National Parks page lists a 34-day trip with 1,175 driving miles, starting in Virgin, Utah, and ending in Grand Canyon Village, Arizona. Those are the operator’s published itinerary figures. The same page cautions that weather, road conditions and attraction availability can change the itinerary. Your travel from home to the starting point and back from the finish needs its own time and fuel allowance.
Before choosing a departure, compare the actual day-by-day rhythm: driving days, early starts, free time and the activities you care about most. Then make a separate list of included costs and costs you would still pay yourself. Read the cancellation terms before committing, and resolve equipment or accessibility questions against that specific departure. A clearer search page is helpful, but the itinerary and terms are what you are buying. We have not booked or independently tested one of these tours.

Yosemite still requires key November reservations
For a November Yosemite visit, do not assume the end of October automatically means first-come camping everywhere. The park’s campground page, updated November 3, says Wawona Loop A continues to require reservations through the night of November 28, with the reservation period ending November 29. Wawona Loops B and C were scheduled to close October 26. Camp 4 also has an extended reservation period, but it is walk-in, tent-only camping and does not accept RVs or trailers.
The park lists Upper Pines as open all year, with maximum equipment lengths of 35 feet for an RV and 24 feet for a trailer. Wawona’s listed limits are 35 feet for either, while individual campsite suitability still matters. Yosemite has no campsite hookups. Plan the stay around your own water, waste and power needs instead of reading an open campground listing as a promise of full-service RV camping.
The reservation FAQ explains why RV and trailer limits can differ: approach roads and the turning room needed to back into a site matter along with the parking pad itself. It advises against gambling on a site shorter than your equipment. If your rig cannot get into the space, the park says it cannot provide a different campsite as a fallback. Read the specific site alerts before booking.
The same FAQ says a reservation holder arriving after the first reserved date should notify the campground using the number on the reservation paperwork. Without notice or check-in by noon after the first reserved night, the reservation can be forfeited. Put the confirmation and campground contact information somewhere accessible before driving into an area with unreliable service. Finally, recheck park road and campground conditions close to departure. A reservation is one part of the plan; getting there safely and fitting into the assigned space are separate checks.
