Amazing video of motorhome going up in flames


In this five minute video, watch a firetruck roll down suburban streets. See the huge plume of black smoke to the right and then watch as the firetruck arrives on the scene, where the RV is totally engulfed in flames. The camera is then positioned inside the vehicle's front window. Watch as the firemen approach with their hoses, and then begin attacking the flames. This video vividly illustrates how easily an RV can burn up.

In this video, you'll see how Jayco puts together its trailers and motorhomes.

Lab test: Which type of RV siding is toughest?


Here is a fascinating video from Coachmen in which a laminated sidewall and a "Stick 'N Tin" wall are tested for strength. Tennis balls, then softballs and then hardballs are fired at each RV's surface at increasing speeds. One wall survives, the other destructs with frightening ease. Which wall survives when a hardball is pitched at it at major league velocity? Watch the video.

RVer Cindy has another boring day


Cindy is on the road in a Flair motorhome with hubby Rick, cruising down the highway toward Winters, Calif., which she says is "a boring drive." Next stop is Rio Vista, which Cindy says is six blocks long and "pretty much has nothing." Cindy then says that her mother had an operation, and that the countryside where she and Rick are driving now is mostly "not a whole lot," but there are a bunch of cows. Cindy is pretty darn cute, but she sure does seem bored. We hope her mom is better.
