1917 Packard Twin-6 Motorhome

Are those leveling jacks on the front bumper?

What, no slides? And where's the sat dish?

In 1917 it was a House Car. RV classifications would not be invented for almost 50 more years.

there were lots of RVs back in the day. One of the coolest 5th wheels I recently saw at the Peterson Auto Museum in LosAngeles

It makes you wonder what purpose it was built for. In 1917 we did not have a network of roads that would promote much interstate driving. It does not look like it was set up for sleeping. In fact it kind of looks like a mobile meeting room. Whatever its original purpose was, it sure is cool almost 100 years later.

Very nice looking RV for it's age. I know mine will not look that good many years down the road.

Not a dually. Won't work.

I wonder if the ten year rule would apply.....:h......Dennis

Wonder if they weighed all 4 corners?

Presumably it's a class C, since it has the factory hood. In those years, the body of any vehicle may well have been built by a coach builder.

I very much doubt there is any gray water holding tank. There may well be a tank for fresh water.

Those arrow turn signal lights sure are elegant, even if they'd be hard to differentiate from a distance. And two more cylinders on the engine than my class C...it should make for a very smooth running engine.
