1981 Dodge with a 360. Not the nicest one around but it gets the job done and everything works! 
Sorry but I had to figure this out. it's bad when you can build web sites but cannot figure out photobucket.
Nice rigs guys,
Here is mine.
I like the camara set up.
Everything works in mine. Needs a solid tune up, shocks, to be sealed, Onan Genny needs tune up, complete exhaust, and a big screen TV:)

I had a nice long reply, but it all crashed losing it...
so here's my lovely interior, no shortage of fake wood and apple green!

Yours is pretty cool, too!
We really like it - we actually bought a '75 El Dorado 19' Class C on the Sportsman chassis, but it had a 360 with CA lean burn******on it and it wouldn't have had enough power to tow our race trailer through the 'mountains' in Penna. So I found this one and couldn't resist.
Best part? Everything works. Everything...genny, furnace, water heater, AC, fridge, stove, oven, oven hood, bathroom stuff, power steering etc. After a little work on the carb, the 440 just purrrrrrrs (and growls!).
We had to do things like rewire everything (factory and PO hack jobs) and add circuit breakers, replace the shocks (which I highly recommend) and the tires, but I found 6 less than year-old tires already mounted on our 8-lug rims for the price of about 4 brand new ones (found them on craigslist). We've also added 2 gas tanks (also from craigslist) to our single 36-gallon tank: another 36-gallon underneath and a 27-gallon on the cargo carrier on the back. The 36 gal. is motor only, but the 27 is primarily generator and also motor backup for the longer trips. My favorite add-on is the rearview camera and 7.2" widescreen monitor - we can see the whole race trailer, behind it and lanes on both sides of it.
We got an awning from the same guy on craigslist, but we've got to chop it down as it's 2x the length we need and get new fabric for it (rotted out). I've also got plywood that looks like beadboard for the ceiling and click-lock laminate for the flooring, but we won't do either of those until we finish everything else.
And I still have less than $3k invested in it :B
Here's a pic of the monitor and add-on fuel gauges - and the switches we use to change tanks (they power the in-line electric fuel pumps).

That is really the kind of rig I was looking for, she sure is a sweety! The closest I got was 71 Winnibego but it wouldn't drive, too much work to make it work.
So I bought the C class instead, and I don't have any regrets (yet).
I guess I'll have to set up a photobucket account. The other BB's I'm on will let me post pics straight from my computer... Be back shortly!
OK, got one!

Thanks, PW - we think so, too ๐
