- I have watched videos of carnivals and circus groups from Europe and even still they have different style rv's and trucks then we see here in the states. I do see some US rv's as well in the videos, I wish they would show some inside shots of the units as well.
I also remember seeing a video of a 3 story 5th wheel that did make it to the states a couple of years ago but I believe it was more for show, never saw anymore about it. RobertRyan wrote:
