It doesn't look like a box.
It doesn't ride like a truck
Not another box on wheels. But low. Sleek. Efficient.
A tough steel perimeter frame and attached to it a cage of rugged aluminum. Then covered in a skin of aluminum and fiberglass and sprayed interior with thick foam insulation. Front wheel drive V-8 and 3-speed Turbo Hydromantic transmission. And for smoothness, a torsion bar front suspension. The motorHome offers 9 inches of ground clearance -- with the center of gravity only 37 inches above the ground, for ride stability and less sensitivities to crosswinds.

Great bunch of pictures. I really like the deletion of the dinette and addition of storage. The white interior seems to me to make the interior much roomier. Lots of other ideas to adapt or even follow for our own coach in the future.
Yes, a bit of truth stretching is there, but would seem to be a real buy for somebody looking for a nice coach.
And, it's really close to Jim B's place for any reliability and safety updating that might be needed.
