Found in Newport OR

Looks like it came from the movie The Grinch with Jim Cary, it's a whoomobile RV.

Wonder what some of the "Resort" RV parks that don't allow RV's over 10 years old would say.

I'd let that baby in in a heartbeat!

Wow is that ever cool, I like the oldies, we have a 1982 Pace Arrow by Fleetwood all original, dated yes but so clean hate to redo.

Another old gem! They were powered by Mopar Dodge 440 CI and there factory was in Los Angeles, CA. that should be in a motorhome musem if there is one?

I went out and looked it over as close as I could without going in as the person who oversees the lot wasn't available. I'll go back another time.

It looks like in decent restorable condition...some rust, but no major damage. One storage door (batteries, I think) was missing and the windshield had a crack. Looks like it was last licensed in 2005.

Wish I could have seen inside.

Yikes, $70,000 new. That was a lot of money back then.

Interesting looking MH for sure. :B

The Daystar has a unique front end.

That is it. The profile and the window cover are the same. Wish I had known. I'd trade the DW's Honey Do list for restoring that beauty.

Ron,

Yes it is S/O the bridge and the turn for the brewery and campground. It is just S/O the seafood market and cafe and the car dealership and the big truck repair place on the W/S of the HWY.

Perhaps you can give us a report on who, what, where, when and why. We were on a car road trip and got a late start from our friend's home in Bayshore and I could't stop and get any info.

TIA,

Dave

I was crusing a consignment lot between Newport and South Beach and saw this in the back of the lot. Don't think it is for sale and I didn't have the time to get out and look. We're probably going back later this year and I'll check again.

Don't know the make or anything about it.

Old RV

Between Newport and South Beach? Are you referring to south of the bridge on the west (ocean) side? I sure would like to go take a look at it if you can give me a little more descriptive location.

thanks

Ron

1 of 16 ever made!! And should never have rust problems with a Cor-Ten steel frame, and the Teak interior would not rot. Should last a very long time!
