High Noon Entertainment, the producers of Cake Boss, Hurricane Hunters, Extreme Waterparks and Guinness World Records Gone Wild!, is producing Mega RV Countdown for Travel Channel and is looking for tricked-out RVs to participate. Mega RV Countdown is and inside peek at the most over-the-top luxury land yachts in America and beyond. The show is looking for outrageous vehicles -- from in-field to off-grid, from crazy conversions to celebrity road retreats to the latest high-tech features from Europe -- and the people who own and design them. RVs with unique custom features are the focus. If you can drive it and sleep in it, producers want to see it. Anyone who is interested in sharing their recreational vehicular creation with America should send an e-mail to Kari Woodard at kwoodard@highnoontv.com.

Although it hasn't arrived yet, the new FMCA North American Road Atlas & Travel Guide is flying off the shelves. When the preorder option was announced yesterday, our Web site received so many concurrent "hits" that some users experienced slower page-load times. I remember a road atlas that my father and I shared during a trip to the Smokey Montains in the 1970s, when I was 10. I would spread the atlas across my lap in the front seat of Dad's Mercury Marquis, tracing the route with my eyes and fingers while Dad talked about the towns, exit signs and mile markers along the way. It was a good trip. And I still have that atlas, in a cabinet in my garage. Can't seem to part with it, for the sentimentality it stirs. The FMCA atlas, 7th edition, is available for preorder from the FMCA Store.
