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!)

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!

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.

"Normal people"? I have always thought of RV'rs at least a couple of notches above "normal" :)

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.

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...

Hey, its just for fun and not realty. Sit back, enjoy and chuckle. Not aimed at the experienced RVer.

I got a kick out of two guys buying a MH for a "party bus", as they put it.

They settled on one, and when the one asked the salesman how much, the reply was in the high $900,000's.

The buyer gave a price about $15,000 less, and asked if they would accept that! You can imagine how fast the salesman said YES! LOL

They got $15k off an almost 1 million dollar coach! What a deal! LOL

I bet they could have gotten at least 100k off! What losers.

If normal is $500,000 up I guess this is ok. If normal is $15,00 to $50,00 this aint it.

Fun show to watch. The first time it was on they showed several people driving including a salesman passenger with no seat belt. Right after the show on a Sunday I e-mailed Lazydays about it and received a reply in about an hour. I was told that they would contact the producers. PS my wife and I were EMTs for 20 years.

OK, I watched it tonight and I was not impressed. True, there were no multimillion dollar rigs, but there was nothing I could come close to buying. Most were in the $200,000 to over $400,000 range.

Guess I won't bother watching it next week.

I would guess that they went thru a bunch of RV's, but there is not time to show that on a 1/2 hour show, so they pick the two best, and show them.

Kind of like House Hunters. They show them three houses, and they pick one.

However, sometimes they let it drop that they have looked at MANY houses, sometimes over 100!

Most of it is unbelievable. I've only seen two episodes but they were choosing between just two RV's. We went to a RV show and looked at about 30 that could have been good choices. A couple of them rented for a weekend a brand new, never used RV. Only saw one bunch camping (friends who bought 2 RV'S) and they were in small terrible looking sites.

I guess unless the come here to find some "real" RVers we just I just have to accept their version of reality or not watch.

Whether someone is buying a $million Prevost or a "regular" lower price RV, I also enjoy the show. The expensive ones give us ideas how we may upgrade our not so expensive motorcoach.

I've watched it a few times. They have people buying pop ups and Prevosts. I watch it every Sunday Night.
