New RV TV show 11/17/19

[emiddleb]

Apparently there is a new RV show hitting TV on 11/17. It's called "The RVers" and will be on the Discovery channel at 8am. Made by the same guys who did "The Aviators" show on the same channel.

Not a lot of info but it does appear to be much more about living/using/tech/do-it-yourself and not the usual junk about staged tours/purchases. Here's hoping...

Actually, the show had a lot of practical boondocking content.

Well, you can't really expect too much else from a "reality" show.

We recorded the first show and watched it last night. We were terribly unimpressed. There was very little content and lots of advertising. And the content was not very good. We will not be watching any more.

Yes they did. And they are working on ripping off a rear corner! Since he isn't telling her to be watchful of the rear swing of that MH.

Well, that would be a perfect lead in to a segment dealing with RV body repair.

Not to mention increased viewership.

We sometimes boondock/drycamp in a small motorhome without a toad and stay put, once we're there. It took some time to learn how to do this and get our setup just right for this. We sure could have used just the right RV'ing show to help learn how to do this at the beginning. 🙂

Well, considering you're not the target group, and your spending habits probably aren't profligate enough to register on their consumer chart, you're pretty much out of luck.

Well, yeah ... my spending methodolgy is based on practical value instead of impractical wow-glitz. This sometimes requires me to buy at the high end and sometimes at the obscure end ... however with a lot of research beforehand, regardless of the end that I wind up at. 😉

WHEW! I thought there was something being said about the Morton’s.

About the Morton's what? And which Morton are you talking about?

Edit--Oops! Didn't see JKJavelin's reply. I give some leeway to news programs and newspapers, which have to get stuff up on the screen quickly, and mistakes do happen. But for anything with a longer lead time, like magazines and TV commercials, there's no excuse.

That's ok!!
But a TV producer should be.
Back on topic, I, too, was expecting more from this show. I've watched all of participants' YouTube channels and they all do a good job.
