You’ve seen it on the highway: a giant RV, lumbering by with its exterior totally covered in swooshes and swoops. Those lines of paint seem to grace the sides of every recreational vehicle, and for decades they’ve defined the RV aesthetic. But where did they come from?
In this video, producer Estelle Caswell heads to Elkhart, Indiana — the global capital of RV production — to investigate why these swoops are everywhere, and whether they’re here to stay. While there, she explores Elkhart’s RV history museum and library and speaks to RV designers who love and hate the swoops.
Will RV makers be forced to change their infamous look to appeal to younger generations obsessed with clean aesthetics? Or are we stuck with this look for the next 20 years? Check out the video to find out.

Car-centric infrastructure, characterized by wide roads and highways, became dominant in urban landscapes. However, the cities of the future offer an opportunity for transformation. By taking inspiration from ancient cities, they can prioritize public transportation and foster human connection, resulting in reduced emissions and more accessibility. @gnd_network #ad")

Why are there so many scam victims? It all comes down to survival instincts. Humans are predisposed to go with the flow for our own gain - that can mean we listen when someone who sounds like they are from our bank (but isn’t) is trying to help us.
