Lucas van H Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Does it have a helipad on the roof? If not, I'll pass ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas van H Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Aww man... but seriously though, that parking space is kind of genius! Most of the camping spots on here don't have too much parking space on site, and with this you just drive under your RV. Guess the neighbours will give you strange looks when you open your 'garage'.

Petetrucker07 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hey, Robert Di Nero had the same RV in Meet Fockers. Except his had a CIA office instead of a Mercedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camping spots? Is this camping? And would it fit in "normal" camp spots? Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffs396 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'd be happy with one of these classic 70s GMCs: Updated like this one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 The GMC is still the best looking motorhome ever done. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Handley Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Why do all modern motorhomes have such hideously busy paintjobs done in such boring colors?! The above GMC is been updated in such a way that it has one nearly as bad as most new ones. Granted, I prefer the looks of "Ground Force 1", preferably without all the needed extras for Presidential use But still, this is just has the wildly tacky paint scheme of a Minitruck, just done with mostly boring appliance car colors!

Tom Geiger Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't want to have an RV that large, maybe the one with a van cab on the front of it... A few years ago my wife and I both were out of work at the same time. I suggested that we sell the house, put everything in storage and take a year off to tour America in a camper. She declined. I'm still sorry we didn't do it. Edited April 6, 2015 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 That Prevost motorhome is terrible. Who would want to drive that? It's literally a coach bus! When we go camping, we take a truck and load gear in it, drive for a couple hours north, then when we get there, we have to drive up an eight mile road to get to the campsites! Sure, there are showers, bathrooms, and a rec hall, but they're not modern at all. No TV in the rec hall, but there's ping pong. We camp in a lean-to on cots, and cook meals on a fire. We go and find our own wood and chop it ourselves. I wouldn't ever want to camp in a camper. Reminds me of an episode of American Dad, wherein Stan's boss has a camper and says, "It's like driving a terrible little house!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Some nice motor homes but what kind of fuel mileage do they get??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Poked around some message boards and one guy said, "my mileage varies between 5 and 7.4 mpg depending on how heavy my foot is." Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Dad has a 35 footer with a 460 Ford. He says it will haul the mail but likes the gas. around 10 if he keeps it slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnU Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Frankly, camping to me is nothing more than pretending to be homeless or practicing being a refugee! As far as the rolling monstrosity, might as well use the money for that thing and book a 4 star hotel because that sure ain't roughing it!

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 That Prevost motorhome is terrible. Who would want to drive that? It's literally a coach bus! I kinda have to agree. Guy I used to do some work for occasionally had one...and actually put a marble floor in the thing. I think the fuel mileage went from about 6 to 4.

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 i really hope that kid doesn't grow up feeling "entitled" ... Somehow, I think he already does (judging from the possessive arm leaning on the Merc, as proud mommy and daddy look on obviously thinking "he's SO like us!!!" ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
