A strange film on a strange topic. Instructional piece about how to safely install a gas supply in a recreational vehicle. A spokesman (middleaged man) stands in front of RV and gives scientific explanation about combustion and heating. Lights piece of paper and put glass jar over it. Animated diagram of how gas supply is distributed throughout RV. Various CUs of copper pipe and gas lines and how to assemble them, how to seal joints, test for leaks etc. How to install gas lines for a stove in the RV and test for leaks (CU of a hand spraying soapy water on the connection and bubbles form - if bubbles form there is a leak). CU of water spraying from leaking joint. Zoom in on gas pressure meter (round black dial with white face). Film ends with RV driving through snowy roads - with its heating system properly installed "...you too can enjoy your RV year-round." RV pulls into CITGO gas station. And our friendly spokesman signs off.
