This is a picture that I found of a 1978 Dodge based RV.



It's for sale too. http://springfieldil.craigslist.org/rvs/3985083971.html

The E-300 is a van based chassis, same as the E-350 in later years. But it is a very early version of the Econoline van. Back then, the largest V8 was teh 302, and popular engine is the 250 and 300 cubic inch inline 6, and some came with a 3 on the tree manual transmission. By 1975, the new Econoline design required automatic transmission, and the common engines where 302, 351 and 460" V8 as well as a minor production of the inline 6 that was 300 cubic inch.

There is a 1970 - 74 Ford Econoline motorhome parked on 202nd St, near where I live. IT has single rearwheels, so GVWR must be below 9.600 pounds.

I guess I missed the truck campers in the "Avion Motorhomes". Could you share your Googling on truck campers? You know, the versatile slide in camper that fits into a truck bed.

Its a "motorhome"? But it sits on a truck? Please put up some photos. Looking forwards to seeing it.

I couldn't find any pix Googling. Is it aluminum? Fiberglas?

sounds interesting. Can you show us pictures of it?
