I'm pretty sure this is the 3rd time this has been listed on Ebay. If you look close at the very last photo, you can see 3 of the axles turned.

Its like lets see if we can build the most impractical RV one could ever design. I like looking at interesting and old RVs, even some of the weird bus conversions that look more like houses, rather than motorhomes. But those typically have some practical aspect to their uniqueness. This one has no practical aspect what so ever. It also looks like it is starting to fall apart. It has some leaks and the roof is coming down. Notice the cabinets are sagging as well. Worst thing is all that weight pushed down the road with a TH700R4 - very weak tranny.

This guy has built all sorts of crazy cars. They're all a little "Whitney'd" as well.

Slang term for buying and installing all of the body accessory add-ons out of the JC Whitney catalog.

Ijust checked the listing. The winning bidder from the last auction left feedback saying it was a wreck.

It reminds me of a saying: One mans trash............

There are actually 40 bids on that thing! Hard to believe.


May the roads and skies always be clear, and the firewood nice and dry!!

Someone put a lot of work into that thing. Gotta respect that.

His name was probably Earl.

Well - it's a "NO SALE" anyway!

here's the Negative Feedback the "buyer" has posted:"very deceitful description van was in deplorable condition mechanics & asthetics"

We can assume he didn't complete the purchase! I wonder if he REALLY intended to buy it?

It should say

ONLY IN AMERICA

Would NEVER be allowed on the roads in England!

I know someone from America who shipped there 45 foot Provost over here and there 21 foot power boat behind it! Customs at Southampton wouldn't let it on our roads as it was too long!!!
