It's
like the PBS show "This Old House"
but for building an RV. These are well produced
videos, originally aired on the Discovery Channel,
which show you step-by step what the
building experience of an RV-8 Quickbuild is
all about. Although they are not as detailed
as the Orndorff construction videos, and can
not be construed as an addendum to the manual;
they are enjoyable to watch and do contain hundreds
of hints and tips which can help make your project
more sucessful.
Watch
them because you are yet to begin and want
to know what your commitment will be all about.
Watch them for the many hints and tips. Watch
them because you just can't get enough of
RVs.
