Groundup.bmp (364158 bytes) 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.
