If I had to guess it is in the trees above and behind. If you look how long the shadows are of the poles on the ground (20+ feet high) and expect the RV is AT LEAST 50 ft in the air then it's somewhere camouflaged waaaaay behind it.

Or maybe there is a RV guy at google photo shopping stuff for us...

I don't see it. Where in relation to other references, streets for instance?

Tobin,
Just above the buildings immediately across S. Ojai St. (directly to the right of the numbers on 22).

Extend back past the tail of the RV until you get to a green grass courtyard with the red car parked. There are two cypress trees there. I think the shadow can be identified by the VS shadow on the building next to the second cypress tree.

Edit: I didn't see the RV when I looked yesterday, but I saw it right away just now when looking on a different machine... if the Google Maps view is the 45* view, the RV is there, but if the 45* is deselected (for an overhead view), it's a different satellite photo: there's a high wing on the ground just short of the numbers, and the RV isn't in the photo.

These views are mosaics made of a series of still shots. Just look at the way the freeway on ramp offsets a bit at the fog line.

The shot of where the shadow should be was taken at a different time than when the shot of the plane was taken.

Yeah, my machine is not showing the RV but is showing the Cessna on the numbers.

Thats exactly right. Most are same-ish time of day may be different days.

When you are looking at Google Maps, there's an option in the menu at right that drops down when you run the mouse pointer over it, labeled "45?". Make sure that's turned on. Otherwise you won't see it.
