California Sighting--cool old RV
Visiting my sister in California saw this cool old Ford Econoline RV. Anyone recognize it? Wish I could have seen the inside.

Construction of 70's houseboxes was even more leak prone and weighed a lot more than current methods and materials which taxed the smaller carbureted engines and brake systems. We once owned a 23-foot 79 Higgins Delta that weighed a lot, overheated, crawled up grades, rode hard and was not much fun to drive even after installing air bags, Bilsteins. etc. Appreciate your recent lighter, safer, and higher powered rig.
Our family had a 72 Chinook on a Chev. It was awesome and stayed in the family for nearly 30 years. The only issue is it was geared pretty low and at 60 MPH the engine was revving pretty good with no OD. It flat hauled ass up grades with that 350 four bolt and a big 4 barrel. Never had any leak issues of the main structure. The rear door rotted out eventually as did the metal of the Chev (they were prone to it).
