It seems that the blast tore the RV apart. Note that just as the blast hits the region of the RV gets censor-blurred, and when it clears up again the RV ain't there. If the RV had been simply blown away, it'd be no biggie, but if it got splayed open and the innards were briefly on display, they might want to hide that.

TomcatViP said:at 00:30s you can see the RV palletized with a simple double bracing made of 2inches wood support that is lifted with a hydraulic mechanism actioned by hand and then pushed by a single person.
