Are there really only four shows/movies featuring RVs? The only ones I could think of:
  • Lucille Ball in the Long Long Trailer

  • Robin Williams in RV

  • We're the Millers

  • Breaking Bad
2008 Georgetown DS350 Class A

The RV movies topic comes up from time to time in this forum, I think when I last contributed a list it was around 30-40 titles. That was a couple years ago. Since then my IMDB list of movies I've watched that featured RVs has grown to 77 titles. I've tried to post the list, but this forum will not accept it as an edit.

Race With The Devil. It's an old movie with Peter Fonda and Loretta Swit. Scary situations!

Hollywood doesnt see us as an audience or lifestlye, other than one to use as ' trailer trash' as in 'Independence Day' or to ridicule as incompetants like in long long trailer, or as fear mongers as in Ben Stillers ' Meet the Fockers.'

We are too ordinary, law abiding content with simple pleasures like tight knit family, friends Smores travel to places with ordinary names or for temporary work.

'Amber Waves'. a 1980 movie with Dennis Weaver and Kurt Russell about nomadic grain harvesters shows the use of rvs and crew buses for that essential work. ( did it, '69- '75) is a little known movie that chronicles an essential need for rvs in the great plains. Its still valid.

If you enjoy reading get `The ride of our lives' by Mike Leonard of NBC News. It's he story about a Son who takes his Parents and various family members on a cross country RV trip. It's not so much how an RV works but how an extended family works.

I always liked Paul as an RV movie. But the theme was about an escaped alien, the RV was incidental.

My opinion is that RVing / camping makes for a pretty wonderful lifestyle and a very boring movie.

Movies need conflict, controversy, great emotional crisis. All the things that we want to avoid as we travel in our RV.

Other than the occasional horror film which includes trapper campers unable to get out of their he wilderness.

Might not be on Blue Ray or DVD yet, (don't know), but The Leisure Seeker looks like a pretty good one. I'm wanting to see it, but timing is always wrong.

Captain Fantastic is an interesting movie ... not really about an RV, but a family does live in a converted bus for a while.
