I frequently check the GAC channel for RV shows. Usually it is the same old tired theme of family expanding and looking at mammoth rv's that 95% of the population cannot afford. Boring shows with the couple touring the Class A's or fifth wheels. Tonight I'm taking a look and see a show for flipping RV's. It's a couple that buys old 1940-1960 travel trailers and flips them to their clients. Very interesting and a nice break from the usual theme. Great to see those older trailers and the style that was popular then.

I disagree and see a mix of RVs at shows...price, type and size. Not boring and not tired.

I watched it for awhile, but lately it has all been re-runs....They do some interesting projects.

Yes it was a good show, it ran for 2 or 3 seasons. They are now starting a you tube channel. So that will be the new shows. The name of their company is Flyte Camp.

This is an RV television program, where they have people going to dealers looking for RVs to purchase, usually the biggest and priciest units on the lot. Lots of first timers buying giant 5ers, diesel pushers, etc.

That's why the reality does not include real things such as 30% depreciation that hits about 30 seconds after the sale, the amount of maintenance required and ramifications when it's not done, tires and running gear maxed out to its capacity, or the fact that you don't need to pay the mythical suggested retail prices they quote on the show.What I love is when the women oooh and aaah about the furnishings. Paper wrapped fuberboard with staples protruding and recycled dish rag upholstery, or better yet a plethora of pleather. You can get better furnishings at Ollie's or Big Lots than what is in most RV's lol.That Flipin RV show started a fad for awhile here in PA. Every farmer who had an old canned ham or Serro Scotty out in the cow pasture thought they hit pay dirt. They all disappeared. I know of at least half a dozen that sat for 30 years used as tool sheds and all of a sudden were plastered all over Craigslist, then they were gone. Most just moved from the farm to people's backyards or driveways, and never were restored once the buyer realized restoring them was not exactly an easy proposition like it is in TV land.

Never happen. Guys like us would watch, but they're trying to convince people who know nothing about RVs that RVing is no work whatsoever. No way will they show guys fixing their year old RVs because the dealer can't or won't, or folks setting up in the rain at night, or the campsite neighbors who have four yapping poodles running loose all day, or the guy who is determined to get drunk and stay that way all weekend, or the long lines at the dump station on Sunday afternoon.

Reality can't be allowed to intrude lest prospective buyers decide it's not for them.

That's exactly the kind of stuff we'll be covering. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Because THAT'S what's real. This will absolutely positively NOT be a reality show. It will educate, inform, and entertain about all things relating to this incredible lifestyle.
