In the sequence where we meet the Gornicke's for the first time, Billy's right front tooth is only about a quarter of the way grown in. When he meets Bob in the Bathroom later that night, the same tooth is about halfway grown in. When they leave the next day, it's all the way grown in. Thus, that sequence must have actually taken a couple of weeks or so to shoot.

When the RV is shown driving down the two-lane highway at the end of the movie just before the squad car pulls it over, it is in the left/wrong lane with the center yellow paint markings to its right - possibly because the camera vehicle is in the other lane, alongside it, or possibly a flipped shot.
