Two geeks in an RV meet a space alien (with a British accent)

Watch this hilarious trailer for a 2011 British comedy "Paul," about two geeky two sci-fi RVers whose pilgrimage takes them to America's UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on a wacky road trip that alters their universe forever. For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. For reasons unknown, the space-traveling smart aleck decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town -- a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Frost). Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes. Netflix does not have this movie, but it is available in DVD (but you might have to look around a bit to find it).

Tall fifth wheel versus low bridge means disaster!

Admit it: We're all guilty of not always paying attention like we should when behind the wheel of our rigs. We most often get away with it, but sometimes we get caught, as this fellow did when piloting his fifth-wheel and failing to pay attention to that 'low clearance' sign.

Man converts plastic into gas and oil

Plastic is made from petroleum. So what if we could covert all our plastic waste packaging back into gas, diesel and oil instead of just tossing it into a landfill? Imagine all those plastic drinking bottles just tossed away! What a waste! And what an opportunity! Well, that is what one man has done -- made a compact machine to convert plastic back into petroleum. Maybe we all need one of these in our RVs -- just collect plastic from trash cans and our own waste baskets and transform it into gas for our thirsty engines.

Musical travel trailer tribute

We'd imagine that when you get down to it, most RVers really love their rigs. We smile, we talk 'em up. But here's one RVer who loves his trailer so much that he's gone musical.
