British double decker bus conversion makes for roomy RV

Wow! This is very cool RV -- a meticulously remodeled red British double decker bus converted to a spacious two-story motorhome. In this four minute video, see the inside and outside of this unique recreational vehicle. But there is good news and bad news about this rig: The good news: it gets 15 miles per gallon. The bad news: top speed is 55 miles per hour. Oh, if you really like the motorhome you can buy it. Follow the link posted on the video.

An out of this world RV -- motorhome for the Moon!

Wow! A motorhome for the moon! This is the prototype of a new RV that Moon astronauts may use to explore the lunar surface. NASA is sending a prototype of this new lunar rover with living quarters to the Presidential Inauguration Parade in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 20. So keep your eyes open whether you are along the parade route or watching on television.

The adaptable vehicle features pivoting wheels that enable "crab style" movement to help the rover maneuver through difficult spots. The SPR consists of a Mobility Chassis and an SPR cabin module. The SPR could be delivered to the lunar surface as a pre-integrated unit or as separate elements.

The cabin's modular design enables it to be placed on a chassis. The Mobility Chassis can be configured in an unpressurized rover (UPR) configuration, with astronauts in spacesuits riding in rotating turrets and can also be used without the pressurized module. Astronauts may also ride in the turrets with the SPR in place, minimizing time for suit changes. The modular design will also allow attachment of various tools that may be needed on a particular mission, such as winches, cable reels, backhoes and cranes.

Use of the SPR would enable the exploration of a far greater range of surface area. With two or more pressurized rovers, the potential range from the astronaut's habitat would be more than 145 miles compared to Apollo’s six miles.

If you want one of these. . . well, don't expect to get anywhere fast. Its cruising speed is about six miles per hour.

A most unusual RV travel trailer

You have probably never seen a trailer quite like this one. It's so small it can be pulled by a vehicle as small as a motorcycle. But would you really want to be seen towing this? Probably not. Watch the very short video. We're betting you'll laugh.

How to find your perfect RV

In this 13-minute video, watch as a couple explores several RV dealer lots in search of their perfect fifth wheel trailer. In each RV they visit, they cite what they like and what they dislike. This is a terrific example of how a would-be RVer should take his or her time and examine many, many RVs before choosing one. This is well worth watching if you are at some stage of the RV buying process.
