I saw 2 Buses today in a promo for this new show on HGTV

Anyone on here own either of these Buses?

Screen captures from the promo:

I noticed they reversed the rear end image on the last pic for the promo.
Exhaust and taillight text are backwards.

must be two different blue/white buses, the one in overhead shots has no overriders while the one with the closeup tailight/bumper shot does.

TV pays well

Know your audience... I've read that the reason open concept is such a thing right now is because men sitting at home watching these home improvement shoes with their wives like the shows more with tearing down walls and doing demo. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5dmbm3/open-concept-plans-popular-hgtv-men-love-sledgehammers

so, yep. gotta get some classic cars in their too... pretty sure we will start seeing some really bad home improvement shows like pimp my ride was to cars, where they start painting crazy colors and crazy things like an indoor waterslide to the outdoor pool, and homeowners are left with a steaming pile of garbage. maybe even a competition with another neighbor to do so in order to win a new car. Think

LOL. You obviously do not currently work in TV. I can tell you at that level of production, selling houses makes you waaaaay more money than TV does.

I work in network TV production and have for the last 30 years. It is almost "pay to play" now. The days of TV being "special" are over sadly.

Sounds about right. Music is the same, but at the top there is plenty of $ being passed around. Too many channels and not enough viewers.
