It'd be nice if they covered several segments of folks: hipster, monetizing #vanlifers; non-monetizing van owners and the segment of urban dwelling RVers trying to get by living in a ratty old RV on city streets. The last segment are the folks I'd like to learn more about.

Then again, I don't watch these programs so I'll never see it and don't care.

Yeah, I think many sambanistas don't fit in any of those categories. We'd definitely make for a boring TV segment.

And here they are, diagnosing a no-start in an '84 1.9. But wait, an oil debate just started over by the fire. Let's hear what they have to say. Over there are a couple of people discussing 14" wheels v. 16" wheels...

Not "boring," waaaaay too exciting!



Just wait 'til we're racing a Formula Vee next to our pitside Westy motel. Heads will blow.

Then again there will be no artificial drama, so nobody will care.

Spoiler Alert, they pretty much left us alone on the Segment...
Although it was nice to hear in-depth from the RV YouTube guy,

Zero vanagon content but there is a nice Bob Wells interview.

Nothing cool about gypsies, they smell. Someone is leaving the dark stains on the sidewalks of California metropolises.

^^^ If Bay Area, maybe it's legally-naked locals.

We've met very few troublesome "gypsies." Mostly they're just normal people trying to survive in an abnormal era. Unless you mean the homeless, who have nothing but our compassion.
