GOING RV show

[Oasisbob]

It amuses me to watch this show. I have yet to see anyone question construction or quality. Do people really shop like this? Makes me wonder why some of these folks camp. They seem to want the house to come with them. Outdoor televisions & stereo. Bet the neighbors love that. An amazing show

True! but like I said, its good low quality entertainment! Kind of like people watching but for RV`ers.

The best I ever seen was when a woman opened the oven....."We wont be cooking a Turkey in here, its really small", then turns around and opens the fridge......"We wont be cooking a Turkey in the oven because it wont even fit in the fridge"!


If I ever come across one of these couples at a campground I sure hope it has a large and active Raccoon and Skunk population, as I think I would toss about 5 open cans of sardines or kippers under their rig at about 1 AM.

What really galls me is when they come back from the commercial and get ready to announce what they decided on but first they have to go over every pro and con that they already discussed before the commercial. It gets repetitive and I no longer care what they decided on at that point.

Nice....You must be talking about the lady that said,, Aint that nice,, the entire show.

Ya, I showed that one to my kids, they laughed their butts off! after the 10th "nice" on the first trailer I thought OK, come up with another word! what was even better was they wanted child seat tethers. they obviously haven't seen an RV after an accident!

Or how about how every one of them likes to setup the dining room table to "see if it turns into a bed". or the ones that like to sit in the storage compartments.

I remember another show where the couple had a young kid in a pack and play (portable crib) and all they could do was worry about where it would go in the RV they were buying. I thought "your basing your purchasing decision on something your only going to need for 6 more months?!

Or the one that didn't want a MH because it was too much and they didn't want to tow a car, so instead they bought a fifth wheel and a new 1 ton truck! LOL

I like the show because it gives me a chance to rip on peoples poor buying decisions! Its good low quality entertainment!

And they make us watch EVERY buyer convert EVERY dinette!

I don't need to see the awning go out EVERY time either.

I find it amazing that first time buyer know exactly how to convert the dinette and the couches, as well as how everything works.

This is where I miss Facebook (yes I said that) When someone post something and I don't want to copy and paste, or "quote" and add a comment, it would be nice to just push the LIKE button!

Is this another "reality" show? If so, don't forget that those things are totally scripted and you're not seeing anything that even resembles reality.

That's what it is. The writer only knows two words; Oh & Wow. Next time you watch that nonsense, count those words.

Now about RV shoppers, go to a large show and just look and listen to the potential buyers. I have no doubt why we have such poor quality, very few will bend down to see what really matters, what is important is sky-high faucets with springs wound around them.

Dont forget " nice"

I've looked up some of these buyers on their Facebook page and there is never a mention of their new RV. That strikes me funny.

They probably have dumped it already, or its sitting in some storage lot or yard rotting. In the real world the number of first time buyers who run out and buy an RV because its the in thing, then decide its not the pussygood activity they thought it was going to be, is quite high. The dealers love those people.

I have 4 people on my street who are first time buyers in the last 2 or 3 years. 3 have never left the yard after the firsr year, and the other only was pulled out once this year, on Memorial day weekend.

How about when they have 3-4 kids and the salesperson doesn't show them a bunkhouse model.

That would be a deal breaker for me too......I want those $12 a pair speakers.

Just more orchestrated deception from the RVIA.
