Based on the building structure damage - the blast pressure-wave does appear to originate from the RV location.
Look at the building-damage adjacent to the RV location. The AT&T building is most severely damaged at the RV point, and the apartment is mostly damaged opposite the street from the RV. (This does seem like a big -DUH- statement, but anyways....)

It is odd how the explosion flame-front ended down the street (away from the RV) - but that may be due to the flammable material being ejected from the RV. (per the previous video 2 pages back)

Aerial video, day of explosion:



It will be interesting to hear more about the suspect.

The propagation of a blast wave in a confined area, like a street "canyon", is a fairly well researched subject. There are a lot of factors in play; location of the charge, size/type of the charge, channeling, shielding, building/street layout, strength of the building facades etc...

That's why it's funny seeing videos like the one posted earlier that purport to "prove" that the blast didn't originate from the RV. Dunning-Kruger definitely comes into play.

I agree it will be interesting to hear more about the suspect.

Sounds like the bomber watched the movie They Live a few too many times.
The article links above says he mailed a package to an acquaintance two days before the bombing that says in part
"...But [the bombing suspect's] writings grow even more bizarre when he wrote about reptilians and lizard people that he believed control the earth and had tweaked human DNA.
'They put a switch into the human brain so they could walk among us and appear human, [the bombing suspect] wrote...."
