In this eight-minute video you'll get a personal tour of a fifth wheel trailer midway in its construction. The narrator points out all the wiring, what it will be used for, and shows where various devices will be installed. We found this video fascinating.

In this episode of "People are Stupid and and Some People are Really, Really Stupid" (as in this case), a fellow finds a wasp nest in his travel trailer. It's attached right where the wall meets the ceiling -- a highly flammable ceiling, we should say. So what does he decide to do to get rid of the nest? Yup, burn it! A stroke of luck kept the RV from totally going up in flames! The video is

Have you ever wondered what's in the space behind the front seats of a big, 18-wheeler truck? Sometimes, the "Sleeper" unit is as comfy as most big RVs, complete with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and TV. In this video, Brian, an owner operator with Allied Van Lines shows off his home-away-from-home in his Peterbilt truck. RV owners will find the scene very familiar.

This two-minute video illustrates that when you make a reservation at an RV park, ask if there are train tracks nearby. If so, and you like peace and quiet, you might want to stay somewhere else. The Landa RV Park in New Braunfels, Texas is a case in point. The rent is cheap but you get what you pay for considering the trains roll by at all hours of the day and night. There are a few sites down

Well, gosh, how could any of us ever forget that one of world's greatest superheroes is/was an RVer? No, not Superman; he just flew where he wanted to -- as fast as a speeding bullet -- or hung out as mild mannered Clark Kent in the Daily Planet newsroom in the old days when newspapers were a big deal. No, we're talking about Captain Marvel. And if you think we're pulling your leg, just watch

TrailManor lightweight travel trailers are unique. These fuel efficient RVs fold down like popup trailers when being towed, but they have hard walls, a bathroom and plenty of room inside. And, as you will see in this one-minute promotional video, the interior is incredibly attractive. Because the trailers are so aerodynamic to tow, it only takes an extra gallon of gas to tow one 100 miles over

Trailers don't get much smaller than this one, which is designed to be pulled behind a motorcycle or a small car. For one or two people who want to sleep above the ground and not on it, this tiny tent trailer might be the perfect RV.
