I've watched each episode so far. Not terribly impressed yet. Lots of commercials, and the content so far has been geared to extreme newbies. While I understand the importance of that, it would be nice to see some more content relevant to folks who've had at least some experience on the road. I'll be tuned in for a while to see if they expand a bit more.

I watched it last week, too, for the first time. I agree that commercials are needed to support the programming, but if it wasn't 50/50 commercial to programming, they may have had more commercials than programming! As mentioned in an earlier post it appears to cater more to newbies or even those just thinking about purchasing an RV. Content segments were also very short. Still want to give them a chance as they get their feet wet.

I agree with the comments above. I think I might know why there is so many commercials, though. I watch a couple of the hosts on YouTube. Apparently, the show was originally only going to be on PBS and streaming. It was only later the Discovery expressed interest. The hosts have made a big point in the streaming version has extra content. It sounds like they had to cut out content for Discovery to make way for the commercials.

I watched 2 episodes. I liked them. They’re for newbies as stated previously.

However, in the most recent when they were giving advice about which (a,b,c) to buy, the salesman said that with a class a you have a basement and you can load it up. He commented that there are no weight restrictions with an a as there are with the others. Way bad (and incorrect) advice. And the supposed expert didn’t call him on that.

So - I will watch for entertainment and will take future “advice” with a grain of salt...
