This semi-mysterious RV is as big as it is unknown. Someone uploaded this photo to a to-do-projects list. There are just so many trucks out there where there isn’t much known, but look at this RV. It’s unlike almost anything you see out there. Vintage giant tractor-based motorhome — or motorcoach. Or maybe it’s a caboverhome.
Elsewhere the photo’s posted with this title: “Used Peterbilt 362 Truck For Sale Cabover W Sleeper Heavy Picture.”
But this isn’t a Pete. Look at that grill. It’s a Ford. I emailed the guy who posted the photo. Hopefully he gets back to me and I can update this soon with what he tells us about that great big RV.
The guy does a bunch of custom projects, a wide range. Cars and trucks. So it might be he did this custom job himself. Hope so.
Ok, I heard back from the man, and he doesn’t know anything about it either. So if you do, people, let us know.
“It was a photograph taken by a family member who saw it at a campground years ago and we don’t know anything about it,” the man wrote to us.
Update: Some people on the Facebook page have filled in some of the mystery of this giant cabover RV. This is a Ford CL 900 cabover (thanks go to Brian Michael he’s the first one to id the big old RV). According to Michael,
“The CL 900 was one of the first trucks with a air ride. When you went around a corner too fast you felt like you were going to kiss the ground.” He said it wasn’t one of Ford’s better ideas. And Zosia Joji Varga said it was probably circa 1982. Thanks, guys.
