I thought the movie had its funny moments, and surprisingly it was not disrespectful toward us "fulltimers". But it also wasn't very realistic. In the scene, for example, where Robin Williams sideswipes a brick pylon and knocks it over without ripping up the side of the vehicle--give me a break! My experience has been that RVs are as fragile as paper.

Is that the scene near the start when they are leaving his home? We had something similar happen in our Journey ($1500 damage) and DW continually brings it up whenever the movie is mentioned.

Yes. Your version of the story is, I'm sorry to say, much more typical of the real RV world.
