Totally agree. However, 40K would be very conservative. There had to be 20K in just paint.

Also, a rock star (or wannabe rock star) is the last person I would expect to reflect what the RV world is looking for. I thought it was pretty ridiculous and thrown together.

The first show was interesting--they just took an old gas motorhome, added two slides and dressed it up. Unfortunately, they did not say anything about the after renovation weight. I would be willing to bet that motorhome ended up way overweight. Also, nothing was done to the drivetrain. Essentially, they took a $12,000 motorhome, spent $40,000 on it, and ended up with a $12,000 motorhome. Would have made a lot more sense to spend the money on a better motorhome. But that would not make a good TV program!
The second show was making a motorhome into a commercial sales vehicle. They took the shower and the bed out, so they ruined it for camping use. While it appeared to be what the owners wanted, the renovation ruined any resale value.

Overall, I enjoyed it. I enjoy seeing what regular people and the very rich have in their RVs. Beats watching most of the other absolute junk that is on tv these days.

Just looked at the TC guide. It will be somewhat entertaining, maybe, but really not what we are wanting.

Seemed like mostly over the top stupid stuff only a TV producer and minions would create. Fantasy really.

Oh well....

Maybe if they added some zombies to shoot?

Actually the various RV type programming starts at 7:00PM EDT and runs till 11:00PM.

With all our National Parks and State Parks, you think the TC could do SEASON after SEASON of shows that give an insight on where to travel.

My wife said she saw the end to a preview commercial and think she saw a Prevost looking bus with fireplace and big flat screen tv.i hope this is not the way this show is going to go. I would rather see some every day regular rigs getting some kind of make overs.

9 0'clock est.
