Do you watch HGTV? On Sunday, March 8, be sure to watch some dedicated bloggers as we make our big jump to national TV. My wife Kristy and I will be appearing on HGTV’s “RV 2009″ show. The show airs in prime time at 8 PM EST, 7 Central.
You’ve seen our videos here on RV.net, and also on TheLongLongHoneymoon.com. Now you can see us in your living room! (A scary thought, no?)
During the filming of “RV 2009,” a TV crew followed us as we toured “America’s Largest RV Show” in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
The weather was quite ghastly — torrential rainshowers for most of the day — but we had a lot of fun. It turns out that shooting a TV show is not terribly different than shooting a video blog. With a TV show, there’s just more of everything. I must confess that I really enjoyed having someone else handle the camerawork and editing for a change.
The premise of the show had us shopping for a larger RV. We looked at a little bit of everything, from hard shell pop-up campers, to huge 5th wheels, to Class A motorhomes.
“But you guys are Airstreamers, right?”
Yes, we love Airstreams, but we had no silver twinkies to browse at the Hershey event. (Note to Airstream: if you guys had sent a 30-foot Classic Limited to the show, guess what we would have chosen! :D)
It’s a little surreal to see yourself on national TV, especially when the recording was originally made six months ago. We haven’t yet seen a cut of the show, so we are as curious as anyone to discover how it all turned out.
So, please check out the show, and look for us in the mix.
RV 2009 will air twice on Sunday, March 8th (first at 8 P.M. EST, and again at midnight EST). We’ve been told that a couple million people will see this TV show, so hopefully it will turn out well.
