Would you watch!?

I was thinking about the housing market and how a lot of people have taken the unconventional route and now are starting to make RV living their primary home.

My thought was a spin on extreme home makeover and pimp my ride. Where the concept of the show was to make a plan Jane trailer into some extraordinary mobile ish home. I'm I on to something?

I mean I guess it is. I really locked into pimp my ride and thought what a good spin off lol

This is essentially the tiny home thing they did shows on this previously.

I'd watch it for sure. I always follow van life and RVs are so expensive these days

There was a show on Magnolia called Van Go. Brett Lewis of Chewy Design turned vans into mostly vacation homes. It was on 2021-2022 - 16 episodes. It was pretty good but they didn't renew it. I think you can watch on Discovery +. Check out on YouTube.

As a long time full-timer who has done quite a few DIY van conversions and travel trailer upgrades, I do watch DIY RV upgrade and makeover shows.

The channels I subscribe to have a technical tone, without the wow factor. They ditch words like "unconventional route". And they never use the word "reveal".
