RV Industry Trends, FEMA Trailers, Carbon Fiber Concepts
A discussion of the recreational vehicle industry highlights the aggressive naming conventions of modern trailers like the Raptor, Prowler, and Cyclone.

The "Tiny House Movement" is highlighted through the story of Dee Williams, who lives in an 84-square-foot home in Olympia. The lifestyle features compost toilets and sustainable materials to reduce carbon footprints. The hosts mock the movement as a form of economic conditioning for a declining standard of living.
