Yes, noticed the number plates on the cars in the background right away. But I was led to believe this car is somewhere in North America and I've seen plenty of cars around in the southwest with European plates on them, especially on private properties.

Sonny Bono's car used to run around SoCal with Monte Carlo plates on it... driving-and somehow got away with it! I used to have U.S. Virgin Islands plates and Bahamas plates on two of my cars years ago. And one of my FIAT Dinos came with German plates mounted. Also have seen European plates on cars in Mexico. I also have pics of a Packard in Puerto Rico with plates on it from Spain. So the plates alone didn't assure me that the car was in Europe. But if that's where it is, that's where it is-or was during the video taping. Thanks.

I know of some penny pinchers that shipped their (for US standards) baby RV from Europe to the US for 6 months. Several of the baby booming siblings came to the US during that time to drive around the US before it was shipped back to Europe. It was cheaper to ship it than to rent according to them.
