Recreational Vehicle: All it needs is some love.

It has potential...
An add on pack with some rusty corrugated steel over the windows, some dystopian wear and tear, maybe a flamethrower on the roof...
Not to mention spare parts and tires hanging everywhere.
With, of course, a matching interior.

    Cupboards full of beans. Cans and cans of beans. An insane amount of beans.

    The thing is, the is the second Rec vehcle we've got in the last two months after the Globetgrotter Mobile Home, https://www.daz3d.com/globetrotter-motor-home , so even while this one's okay and a bit cheaper, it's a bit too much too soon after buying that one... especially when this one seems to have a lot less articulation and the rather glaring omission of no shower.

    I am not sure you can compare the latest RV with the globetrotter. The globetrotter is not exactly a vehicle an ordinary person would own, generally just some wealthy person, a business, a band or a sports team. If you turn up at a typical campsite you are unlikely to see many globetrotters amongst the vehicles camped there.

    I live in Elkhart county, Indiana where a lot of these are built. Most of them will not use campsites - they overnight in big parking lots and just need access to a place to pump the holding tank and refill the water tank every couple of days. You'll also see many of them with a Toyota or Nissan being towed behind for use in local travel. The market for RV's in general has been insane lately but the real big sales numbers are the 20 foot trailer units.

    Worked in an RV manufactureing facility in the early 70's and two of the lower end models didn't come with a shower, and there was actully one that didn't even have a toilet in it

    The mid range model had one but you had to sit o or stand in front of the commode to use it

    The high end model had a small (as in tiny)shower closet

    ...it needs a satellite dish, a couple cheap lawn chairs, one of those spinning wind socks, a bunch of those vacation resort stickers on the back, a cheap charcoal grill, and a big ice chest full of beer.

    In Europe we call RVs camper vans, and our camper vans tend to be much smaller than the typical American RV. As such many have no toilet/shower, and people tend to use the facilities available at the campsite instead.

    This is a more typical European camper: https://www.daz3d.com/road-trip-hippy-van, although we do also have bigger, coach built campers, that often do have a toilet and/or shower.

    Well, I want to pounce-hug the merchant that made the new RV that came out this week. :D   I have been banging my head against a wall for months trying to get hold of a Daz Studio or Poser RV that had a toilet in it, becauase I need one like that for a 3D comic.  The closest to that I could find until recently had what looked like a door inside to what was probably a toilet, but the door didn't open.

    Yeah, you'll see less fancy Class A's accompanied by toads, fifth wheel trailers, a few truck campers, and a whole lot of CruiseAmerica Class C's.

    In my part of europe - germany - we call something like this recreational vehicle a "Wohnmobil" (= mobile home) and there's quite a few of this size around here. The "Hippy Van" linked - the old VW Micro Bus - or rather it's newer version - is nowadays not used so often for camping anymore, but in the seventies to early nineties it was everywhere.

    Big ones, like the above mentioned Globetrotter Motor Home are quite rare in europe, as there are neither camping grounds nor many parking lots where you could stay with them, as camping by the roadside isn't allowed in many european countries, and it's too big for camping grounds.

    The Caravan - with one or two axles - still is probably the most used camping home all over europe and especially for the dutch, who probably own at least two per family... devil

    True, but given that I just bought the Globetrotter at the end of March and already had the old KPL Cobra Motorhome from MeshWorks and a half dozen trailers, I'm not quite ready to buy yet another RV.  It's just bad timing on the PA/DAZ's part.

    I guess you missed MeshWorks KPL CObra 78 Mobile Home which was the most accurate reproduction of an RV in the Poser market for years, especially since there's an add on TV/ENG set for it.  The materials are really dated on it now, though, and it needs a lot of work to make it Iray ready, so I jumped on the Globetrotter when it came out.  This one's gonna have to go on the wishlist for whenever it gets super discounted.

    I really like that MeshWorks one especially with all of the expansions for it giving loads of props for camping & such.  Converting the mats for Iray isn't too bad and DS can sort of autoconvert on the fly when you render in Iray.  Plus there are LOTS of Iray shaders that can be used easily as well.
