G'day,
I just got up and check the time in NYC and its 2:35 PM. I have cable TV here in Sydney but Foxtel doesn't rebroadcast The Travel
Channel here.
I just checked The Travel Channel on line and as far as I can tell I can't watch it on line.
If someone could record this show on a VHS tape or DVD it would be great! Well at least the part about GMC's! 
Regards,
Rob M.

Rob,
I did just finish recording the entire hour (about 35 minutes of content) to a DVD. Most of it is junk. Are you interested in multi-million dollar tailgate/party busses? If so, I will save you the whole thing. Or, I could try to remember to bring to Dothan.
The only part of serious interest to a GMCer might be the Decoliner. It is kind of a nice piece and I could try to rip it out and make it stand on its own. Then I could put it on the wire to you. Not real soon mind you, I have two fuel tanks that need sending units rebuilt and reinstalled.
Let me know....

In my opinion, the "advertised" 8pm (EST) show was a pretty big disappointment!

I saw the segment on Jim B. He did a pretty good impression of most reality shows with a mock argument with his padwan. I thought the segment didn't detail the GMC per se.
Next we'll have some build-off battle between the 2 Jims and Ken Frey. Now THAT would be reality television!

I'm with you, but to just get some national exposure at all was difficult. They were first interested when we were drag racing the coaches, getting the camera turned toawrd several GMC's together was the hard part. There was a pile of "literary livence" used. The "dumpster" as they called it was not-- that was the "23d" sporting a Workhorse chassis with a Duramax turbo diesel & Allison 1000 trans-- front wheel drive still it was the 23' GMC like no other and it costs WAY more that they reported!
BTW Rob, if you go to the travel channel and click on "Killer RV Upgrades" , go through a couple of segments on the floating milk truck, the Albatros RV, and the hand made Intl. truck, the segment on us is there.
Hey, it's all about exposure and natl exposure is really hard to get and really expensive if you had to pay for it. My son asked how I felt loosing control of my image to "the man"-- hey, whatever!
The mock up shouting session was stupid, I asked them to not tape anymore of that but they had that in the can so they used it. Wanted to expend to get more GMC exposure, as yet I've not gotten a call but I'm not sitting there watching the phone. It was fun but my guess is it will go down as another 1 hit wonder... Hey but the GMC did get on TV!

We enjoyed the show. You have to wonder though, with all the complaints
about GMC handling, how did Grubb get that thing to handle with even more
linkage in the equation? If you watch him during the driving sessions,
he's 'one thumbing it.

Steve,
Simple, one of our "official" vendors sold him a set of lower control arms that were beefed up, with Urethane bushings and new lower
ball joints from some guy that rebuilds them in Sierra Vista, New Mexico along with re-engineered upper control arms and an idler
arm and relay lever rebuilt by another GMC guy in Davison, Michigan! ;-)

Matt,
Thank you for recording it and I'm not interested in multi-million party buses. I've seen three different videos of the Decoliner
so I don't want you wasting your time editing the DVD. Bring it to Dothan as is and I can watch it. When something comes up I'm not
interested in there's Fast Forward.
Regards,
Rob M.
