We just rented it on our "2nd maiden voyage" of our motorhome 2 week-ends ago. It had its funny moments and was good in parts of the movie, but overall I didn't care for the movie, and the ending just downright stunk. Anti-climatic.

If you own a motorhome, you've got to see the movie. You just got to. It's the American thing to do...ha, ha.
I do agree with you, it doesn't rank high on my list, but it's still funny enough to spend a couple hours with it.

Looked at the photos and see at least 6 things wrong.
1. Robin Williams cutout at the dinette.
2. The bike is wrong, banana seat back too short.
3. Different tv in the overhead.
4. GPS was above the dash not in front.
5. Chair is different.
6. Color of upholstery is wrong.
Us "RV" movie diehards can spot a fake. No wonder it didn't sell the first time.

I also noticed the differences. Besides what's mentioned above is the bedroom slide out. There wasn't one on the movie rig. If you saw the extras and the making of you would see that almost all shots were done on a set, the sky lights and windows were blue screened. I'm sure we could imagine 4-8 more individuals walking around our RV with cameras and cables-- there's not that much room.
As usual another e-bay scam.

Heck, that movie has nothing compared to our cross country trip!!!!
I wonder if there really is one that was not used in any of the stunts, etc? Seems like a lot of the inside shots were done in the studio according to others here.

another item I noticed was if you look behind the Robin Williams cut out you will notice there is a mirror, in the movie there was a cabinet which the door got snapped off of when they closed the slide in one of the scenes. It just happen to stick in my head cause I got a laugh out of it when the door snapped off in the movie.

From my observation, there are flaws abundant when making a movie.
Things like, an actor will be wearing two different shirts in the same scene.
In the movie The Road To Perdition with Tom Hanks, the opening scene, and one bank scene were filmed in my home town. They used so many different towns in the editing process that you wouldn't know the boy riding his bike to the drug store and bank scenes were filmed on our main street.
Given there were at least 5 different motorhomes, and some movie sets to look like motorhomes, there will surely be a lot of variation that you have caught. I believe the seller, given he has the documentation to support his claim.

How many MHs did they use in making the movie? I seem to recall seeing that they may have used a half dozen. Which one is this - one that remained in one piece? Or is the submarine? 
DW thought the movie was hilarious. It was not my cup of tea.
