Starlink Roam Plan Doubles Data, Scraps Pay-Per-Gig Option
Starlink just made a notable change to its entry-level Roam plan. The $50/month option now includes 100GB of high-speed data, up from 50GB. Once that limit is hit, users are shifted to unlimited low-speed service, still enough for basics like email and texting. Gone is the option to buy extra high-speed data a la carte. If you want full speed again mid-cycle, the only option now is to upgrade to the $165/month Roam Unlimited plan. This update affects most markets and requires no action from current customers.
Costco and Camping World Team Up to Take the Haggling Out of RV Buying
Costco has quietly expanded into RV sales through a new partnership with Camping World. Members can now browse RVs online, get a prearranged discount certificate, and skip the usual back-and-forth at the dealership. The setup mimics Costco’s Auto Program and adds a concierge-style experience with Camping World reps guiding the process. Leads so far are leaning toward pricier models like fifth wheels and motorhomes, making this a potentially big win for both companies. No exclusive RVs here, just a streamlined way to buy from existing inventory.
Florida Could Soon Be Home to the World’s Largest Buc-ee’s
Buc-ee’s is aiming to break its own record with a new location planned for Fort Pierce, Florida. At 76,245 square feet, it would edge out the current titleholder in Texas. Plans include 120 fuel pumps, 18 EV chargers, and over 700 parking spots. If approved, construction could take nearly two years, with opening targeted for late 2027 or early 2028. This would be Florida’s third Buc-ee’s, and the largest one yet, set to serve travelers on one of the state’s busiest highways.
Honda’s Lightweight Base Station Camper Can Be Towed by a CR-V
Honda is entering the off-road camping game with its Base Station prototype, a compact trailer that weighs under 1500 pounds and can be towed by small SUVs. Designed by the same team behind the Motocompacto scooter, it features solar panels, a queen-sized bed, and modular add-ons like a shower or A/C. The camper sleeps up to four and includes smart controls for heat and lighting. While pricing hasn’t been finalized, Honda’s targeting a range between $20,000 and $40,000, aiming to make outdoor travel more accessible without needing a heavy-duty tow vehicle.
