an eight-part series follows everyday people converting everything from double decker busses to ex-army fire engines into awesome homes from home, ready to hit the road and explore the world in comfort.
Caravanning has never been more popular and Jimmy Doherty’s new show travels all over the country to meet the Britons turning old vehicles into their dream home on wheels. During the process, Jimmy also took up the challenge of converting an old army fire engine into a family caravan.
Jimmy is joined by friend and engineer Jimmy de Ville (Goblin Works Garage) – on hand to share his expert knowledge for the build.
“On top of that, I follow eight other people’s journey, who do the same sort of thing, as well as being taken on these joy rides by Jimmy the builder to get inspiration on vehicles that people have already created, which has been amazing.”
foe example a father and daughter that build a 1971 VW Beetle into an rv:
and I learned of it, because the producers of the show found that I'd taken photos of one of these Beetle RVs, in the 2013 Del Mar Goodguys show, and the tv series wanted to show what was a trend in the 1970s California scene https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/11/this-is-cool-vw-bug-rv.html
I just realized, this now sets the blog on the short list of things to be published in, as blog photos have now been published in other peoples books (Blastolene Brothers, a VW microbus book) , magazine (Hemmings Muscle Machines), newspapers (New York Times), and now this is tv (Discovery +). The only one it still needs, is a movie.
That's not likely to happen, to get something in a movie and a credit in the endless list of names at the end of the movie.
Update June 2023

Weird whiskers, and I can't stand his laugh or whatever that sound that comes out of him.
