Lucas van H Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Does it have a helipad on the roof? If not, I'll pass ?

Lucas van H Posted April 3, 2015 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'.
oldnslow Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 I couldn't afford the nitrogen in the tires.
disabled modeler Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 And Id be happy with kits of motor homes and trailer....
Petetrucker07 Posted April 3, 2015 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.

Camping spots? Is this camping? And would it fit in "normal" camp spots? Scott
Lucas van H Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 You would be suprised with the stuff some people roll into campsites with over here
jeffs396 Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I'd be happy with one of these classic 70s GMCs: Updated like this one:
unclescott58 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 The GMC is still the best looking motorhome ever done. Scott
disabled modeler Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 The GMC is still the best looking motorhome ever done. Scott Id be happy with any of them in scale...the GMC one looks nice to me but like the original look.
Joe Handley Posted April 5, 2015 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 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
chunkypeanutbutter Posted April 6, 2015 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!"
slusher Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Some nice motor homes but what kind of fuel mileage do they get???
chunkypeanutbutter Posted April 6, 2015 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.
1930fordpickup Posted April 7, 2015 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.
1930fordpickup Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 One of those old GMC'S was for sale all summer last year up in Monroe MI.
JohnU Posted April 11, 2015 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!
southpier Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Now this is how you travel! i really hope that kid doesn't grow up feeling "entitled" ...
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 11, 2015 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 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!!!" )
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Frankly, camping to me is nothing more than pretending to be homeless or practicing being a refugee! Sounds like the way I live every day...
