Coloradans are RVers — this past January found record crowds at the 22nd annual — and sales of vintage trailers and motor homes are up nationwide, with baby boomers pushing sales.
In fact, according to a study by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association, one in six households plans to buy an RV in the near future.
That makes the casting call by Denver-based — which produces “Cake Boss” and “Food Network Challenge” — particularly timely, because now they’re looking for the most outrageous RVs and the people who make them that way for a new show on the Travel Channel called “Mega RV Countdown.”
Have you designed or decorated your RV to look like Shangri-La? Do you drive a converted school bus around and call it home? “Mega RV Countdown” wants you.
To be considered, e-mail High Noon at rvshow@highnoontv.com.
Include some information about the RV and why you think it’s the craziest, coolest, most interesting fit for the program, and be sure to include a few photos of the vehicle. If you’re what they’re looking for, an application will be sent back to you via e-mail.
The casting call starts now and continues through June. No word yet on when the show will air.

IT CAME FROM THE BLOG
A few easy-to-stomach videos. with have changed the way some of the participants feel about themselves and their bodies, I followed up by attending , the annual belly-dance extravaganza, also held in Golden, the first weekend of May.
has been the host site for the event for years now, and many of the audience members showed up in elaborate belly-dance-type attire, as well. The entertainment throughout the evening was a mix of belly dancing, music and performance art, and it was a hoot (or I should say it was a zagharoot, the singular form of the word used for the sound the audience is invited to make in appreciation for a belly dancer’s moves). Visit to check out some of the dancers performing.
