Well your going to bring it to the Oct22 event here in Cloudland right? Ok how do I get our 59 on there? LOL

I kept looking at those pictures going MAN does that look like Metro Atlanta. I finnaly found the refference that it was fillmed here. That block wall looks exactly like the block wall behind a Building I worked in down n Forest park.

Let us know when it will air!

That site loads VERY slow but it will work if you wait long enough.

You know that that thing needs now that it's a woody?
It needs Surf boards and you could mount Solar pannels on the surf boards LOL.

Now the link is working. Before I got an unable to load this page type message. When I clicked this time I got an immediate page opening. Guess the server was too busy.

MOHO looks cool! Would like to hear more of the before and after story.

Not to knockit, but I think it looked better before the new look on the outside. I just might be a traditionalist.

The whole thing looks great!
Love the dvd set up, and the interior concept.
Can't wait to see it at our mini rally...there should be some very cool motorhomes there!

What we IN OUR AREA need is a vintage motorhome show or get together in Atlanta. I would bet there are some great old Bluebirds, Vogue, Hr, Gmc, Winnebago and so on that would make for a great event. ...Maybe a big parking lot somewhere on a Sunday? Film it for discovery channel or Fine living, or History or ??? Just thinkin.....

it probably isn't as orange in real life as it is in the pictures. i think all that wood looks ultra classy, not to mention unique.

Show Air Date...

They haven't given us an airdate yet for the show. As soon as I know I'll send you guys a heads up.

I'll also include some of the video on my website www.motorhomemassacre.com

Take Care,
