RV park upgrades curb appeal

RVers rely on roads to take them where they want to go. Curbs are frequently attached to the sides of roads to help control water runoff. We were staying in a campground in Arkansas where they were adding a road with curbs. They grade the road and spread gravel over it. Before they put blacktop on it they lay the curbing. They do this with a curb making machine. A cement truck drives ahead of the curb making machine ensuring it is kept full of concrete. The curb making maching follows a cable that has been carefully set in place at the exact location the road builders want the curb to be laid. Watch the video for a closer look at how it works. Now I appreciate roads even more. Out enjoying the highways of America - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing
