Big Time RV - travel channel

Just watched this for the first time. I think I like it. NORMAL people with NORMAL motorhomes get updates to their existing coach. Shows how they do it. Nothing bizzare, simple stuff like replacing dinetts, installing new counter tops, drawers, washer-dryer, stuff. Not the billion dollar MH's or the billion dollar renovations. Just simple stuff for the common person.

I'll watch it again... Travel Channel. I like it MUCH better than the Extreme RV's that are so outrageous, it's ridiculous!

Just though I'd pass it on!

Happy Camping.

(Having knee surgery tomorrow, so am pretty much confined right now, nothing to do but watch television. So catching up on all these RV shows ... I'll probably go insane over the next 5 days. I'm not good at being "immobile" and these RV shows just make me want to go out and tinker with the camper!)
  • But is a band travel buss, REALLY an RV/ recreational vehicle. Or is transportation for your job
  • It's entertaining.

    People that agree on list price? A bit phony.

    TT's or 5er's?

    Cummings instead of Cummins.
  • That sounds good since the first shows were pretty lame. The couple that was looking for the $400k MH and ended up buying a $600k MH because the wife said "Daddy always told her she could have anything she wanted" and the dog approved, was nauseating. I'm happy for anyone that can afford those high dollar rv's but let's see real people too.
  • Just saw an advertisement for the show. Sunday 8:00 pm Travel Channel. They must show re-runs through the week since it was on this morning...
  • I'll give it a try, I have no interest in the million dollar RVs, just like the Epic Homes, Epic RVs and all the over the top shows about how well the wealthy live. To me, they have no real concept of the life the middle class leads. Kinda like the politicians.
  • "Normal people"? I have always thought of RV'rs at least a couple of notches above "normal" :)
  • I''ve watched the show and I like it. That said. I do think that some if not all of it is staged and that it is an infomercial for Lazy Days.
  • OK, am currently watching the second show. 2 couples (good friends) are looking for a CLASS-C, kind of competing against each other. The dealership they are at is just a NORMAL dealership. RV are everyday "C's" like Four Winds, ect. It shows them stretching out on the bunks, climbing in the storage compartments,and stuff like that. Probably what real "normal" people do! I say "normal" because these people don't appear to be actors or movie stars, or sports heroes! Just everyday day people. Finally, an RV show that is actually practical!
