Thanks Jon,

There have been some good ones on with RV's in it, eg; Meet the Fockers (Robert Dinero/ Ben Stiller/Dustin Hoffman/Barbara Steisand etc. One of my favorites was All About Smidt with Jack Nicolson and Cathy Bates among others.....

Will try to catch that one today or record it at 1215, thanks.

Another good one is 'RV' also known as 'Runaway Vacation' staring Robin Williams released in 2006

Cheers

Thanks Jon.

I'd have missed it, as I didn't have the TV on. As it was I only saw the last half, but it was also the funniest half!

One of my favourite movies. I even text my sister, it's one of her faves too.

I love "The Long Long Trailer".....even though it hasn't aged that well, it's still cracks me up. Lucille Ball was one of my favourites.

Enjoyed most of the others mentioned too....haven't seen Paul yet.

Long, Long, Trailer.

Ah! The good old days, before TARE, GTM, ATM, Ball weights, Chains, Brakes, etc. etc...
Just hook up anthing on anything, and you're on your way. (Unfortunately some still do that).
