It is not often that the large truck conversions we find and write about here are common auto manufacturers like GMC, but this one is. The owners, Andy and Donna Bott — a husband and wife team — call this custom conversion RV “Going Banana.”
They said that someone told them they thought it looked like a big banana.
The chassis basis is a 1987 GMC General truck. The couple wanted a custom-built RV when they started RVing (after 12 years with 2 conventional trailers).
They built this truck themselves.
The frame took around 1 and 1/2 years, according to Andy, who was interviewed about it a couple of years ago on RV Travel. “We repositioned the wheels back and stretched the frame. Then we got some sheet metal, built the ribs, and added insulation and paneling.”
The inside was partly designed by a friend of theirs who does interior decoration.
The interior (sorry, no photos provided of this) has quality woodwork and a lot of luxury RV interior amenities.
The travel weight of this custom built motor home is 39,000 pounds, and the gross is 80,000.
