Mark's RV Garage

I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the 17 episodes of Mark's RV Garage. I posted each episode for the first 17 days of February, with each episode roughly a half hour long.

Don't worry if you didn't get a chance. Bookmark this page because at the bottom I've linked to each episode. This way it will be easier for you to "find" each episode on the Gr8LakesCamper blog.

Mark's RV Garage chronicles the restoration of a vintage Yellowstone camper Mark Polk - of RV Education 101 fame - and his son Tyler, found and bought for $300. Throughout the series, the two dismantle the camper down to the studs, then carefully rebuild the camper, often using parts and materials donated by Mark's RV friends - it pays to have connections!

Other segments of the 30-minute show include: featured KOA destinations such as Myrtle Beach, Jackson Hole and Las Vegas; RV Product Spotlights; RV Maintenance Tips; Viewer Mail and quite a bit more.

What I liked about Mark's RV Garage series was that I felt much more knowledgeable about my RV after having watched Mark restore the "Old Yellowstone." When restoring the "Old Yellowstone" Mark also taught me how RV systems - electrical, LP gas, plumbing - and products, appliances and other parts all work separately and together. It was especially informative to see the camper with the skin off so you could see how much wiring and plumbing snakes through the skeletal framework.

On the final episode Mark hints at another season of "webisodes" - coming in spring of 2012. I for one certainly hopes he's able to find the time!
