What Class is this?

I was looking at Class A Diesel rigs on Ebay and came across This.

I have no idea what Class it would be considered. I'm not interested in owning it, just curious.
  • It is crew cab truck.
    I have seen few of those years ago (shorter) but they seem to made the trips to junk yard.
    Did like the idea years ago as you could ride in high comfort (for the time) and pull good size trailer.
    With SUVs flooding the market the idea kind lost the demand, just like famous El Camino.
  • All that is, is a toy hauler flat bed. It seems like they carried a dune buggy on that according to the picture painted on the door of the truck.

    MM.

    I agree, it's ugly.
    But I do like the ones posted by MrWizard. They're cool.

    Thanks for the replies. I wasn't sure what it would be called.
  • With neither sanitation, nor cooking, nor (apparently) a permanent AC electrical system, I think this wouldn't get classified as a motorhome in most states, but simply as a plain old truck.

    That said, the class A/B/C system is not absolutely perfect, particularly for homemade or custom creations. In as much as the body appears to be added on to a cutaway, I think this would best be described as a class C—as much as anything. (It doesn't look quite like a standard van body grafted onto a longer chassis, due mainly to the lack of wheel wells, but quite possibly it is and the wheel wells are merely filled in with sheet metal or something.)

    A school bus conversion is another sort of RV that is somewhat hard to classify. I guess most would put it down as a class A, even though logically it is closer to a really large class B in terms of who built the body structure.
  • it a custom 5th wheel TOW vehicle
    never seen one quite that long before
    but several MFG built some in the 80's, usually on a cut-a-way Van chassis
