                                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

                                  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
