One thing for us all to keep in mind:  While many of us would probably sit for hours watching "This Old House: Bus Edition", the producers are probably not looking to capture a market of 10,000 bus nuts.  Their intention is to draw a viewership of several million of the general public who may have an interest in tricking out an RV.  Some of those people are no doubt future bus nuts.  But most are just your typical modern TV viewers that are drawn like a moth to a flame to watching people with lives more messed up than their own, even in the technical/educational/informational shows they watch.

I think the show would be cool but I would like to see something like "bus garage" where they would show how to install stuff like plumbing or electrical. Hell even what all needs to be greased. I do not want them showing a millennium coach being built where I cant even afford the Hydraulic lift flatscreen. When I was building classic cars I hated reading the Magazines and see how some shop did the engine and another did the paint. I wanted to see a ruff idealing, paint that has runs in it and knowing a guy and his buddies worked the best they could at what they made. Anybody can buy one. I like the pride of ones labor. And as far as OCC and the late Boyd Cottington they can kiss my a$$ for stripping the attitude and joy of building something. They sold there souls and now they can reap what they have lost.
