JonesFamilyJaycoWe saw the coming attractions for the show, but did not remember to tune in.
Yes Nimrod (or Nemrod) was a real pop up camper brand. I have seen several for sale in local want ad books. I don t know the history of them, but that was the name on them!
JonesFamilyJaycoAccording to TLC schedule the show that aired last night will be shown again today at noon and again on 10/5 at 3pm

JonesFamilyJaycoI watched almost all of it... saw the building process and then dozed off just before the race/test! It hurt to see that poor pu getting holes and such cut into it!!!
JonesFamilyJaycoMy parents bought a used Nimrod - it was our family s first camper way back when, and then my dad traded it in on a new Apache hardside the next year. I don t think I ve seen a Nimrod PU since then - I ll try to catch the 10/5 episode, but might have to turn it off when the killing begins [:(].

I agree I don t think I could watch them demolish a PU no matter what kind of shape it s in[:(]
JonesFamilyJaycoOuch just the thought of them " altering" an old PU hurts.
JonesFamilyJaycoI remember this link from the old board - just wanted to share

JonesFamilyJaycoSomewhere I saw one posted that was a Scamper mounted on top of a pontoon boat with the Scamper being up on stilts kind of like a beach house. I guess you could fish by day and sleep by night...sort of a new fangled boat camper or popup-boat combo

This I d like to see
JonesFamilyJaycoKinda sorta bit the bullet -- watched bits and pieces. It wasn t as bad as I was first thinking -- from the outside, it was kinda neat -- seeing a PU moving along all by itself; but they had to gut it [:@]

Notice I said " Kinda sorta bit the bullet -- watched bits and pieces" -- there really wasn t much on TV (not tow vehicle[;)]). Except for gutting it, they didn t do much to the outside besides put a cover over it. AND if someone else didn t bring up the subject, I would never have even looked at it as I do not like the show[:@]

Missy ! You either bite the bullet or not. You do not kinda bite the bullet ! You don t bite it, it flies away ! You are a shame to the PU community for watching a perfectly well PU being torn to pieces. Did you at least sorta cry ? [8D][8D][:D][:D][:D]

You bet I cried [:(][:(]. I started to watch the show once and didn t like it, I just had to see how bad the demolished the PU -- like I said, it still looked like a PU moving on it s own -- no TV.
