TheDriver ◊ 2006-04-12 11:20	Are the wheels the only round pieces that this ugly bunch of crap posseses?
coopey ◊ 2006-04-12 12:34	headlights are round too
antp ◊ 2006-04-12 18:26	And the steering wheel too ? Or did they put the square steering wheel of the Austin Allegro ?
Hiergehts ◊ 2006-04-14 01:14	A cheap and ugly cardboard box masquerading as a motorhome..
firebird86 ◊ 2006-04-16 01:31	wow, I wouldnt let my dog stay in that !!!
darth j ◊ 2006-04-20 18:54	A Winnibago ? Couldn't find a picture this ugly ...
jplemoine ◊ 2006-04-20 19:20	Le concours des horreurs continue!
jplemoine ◊ 2006-04-21 17:07	Ce bunker à roulettes semble bien faire l'unanimité... a real dream car...
ben68 ◊ 2006-04-21 19:17	Possibly Winnebago something...
Ddey65 ◊ 2006-04-22 19:31	Oh, it's anything BUT a Winnebago. I know Winnebagoes from the 1960's & '70's and they looked nothing like this.
firebird86 ◊ 2006-05-21 02:03	This thing looks like an OLD Champion
texwiller ◊ 2006-05-22 11:33	I believe it's a Dodge motorhome. I have seen a picture of Elvis Presleys car collection and he had a dodge motorhome just like this.

I can see a bit of Dodge influence in the grille. firebird86 wrote This thing looks like an OLD Champion Any chance there's a link to it?
firebird86 ◊ 2006-07-09 00:43	Ive never stopped looking for this thing,
banger134 ◊ 2007-01-31 12:47	could it be a frank Link to "jaycronen.com"
CrazyCars ◊ 2008-01-07 09:36	Could be yes
Ddey65 ◊ 2008-03-31 05:52	banger134 wrote could it be a frank Link to "jaycronen.com" Ooh, that looks close. The grille bars on this one doesn't spread out that wide, though. Plus, the sides tend to stretch out in front of it. -- Last edit: 2008-03-31 05:52:44
frixmax ◊ 2010-10-07 19:40	Could be a very early "Hymer Mobil", a German mobile home maker (see: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymer)
Ddey65 ◊ 2011-05-22 05:46	I'm afraid there haven't been too many German motor homes on this side of the Atlantic, other than Volkswagen Campmobiles.
Ingo ◊ 2011-05-22 14:30	frixmax wrote Could be a very early "Hymer Mobil", a German mobile home maker (see: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymer) For sure not. It's definetely some American Camper. The old boxy Hymers are also smaller, based often on Bedford CF, Mercedes T1 and IIRC also on the T1-predecessor, the 207, resp.Hanomag F20.
Mudflap ◊ 2011-05-24 19:25	I've been working on this for a LONG time. I think, I've finally found something.. Could it be, Tiffin Allegro? /vehicle_327980-Tiffin-Allegro-1978.html It has some minor differences, but overall, seems to match. What do you think??
chicomarx ◊ 2011-05-24 19:28	Close but no cigar, as Bill Clinton would say.
carcrasher88 ◊ 2011-05-24 19:34	Actually, that seems even further off...
Ddey65 ◊ 2011-05-31 00:43	Yeah, carcrasher88 is right. I've seen Tiffin Allegros of the late-1980's and I even submitted one. That's way off.
AMC man ◊ 2011-10-04 00:01	I think it might be a Champion motorhome the squared off front and the paint job all match a Champion motorhome but there are some details that dont match like the grill and headlights they remind me more of a Tiffin Allegro an executive motorhome or an AMF Skamper. -- Last edit: 2011-10-04 00:02:24
kudos ◊ 2011-10-07 21:53	Foretravel? Link to "www.dodgetravcos.com"
Ingo ◊ 2011-10-07 22:29	Hmmm, it seems indeed so.
AMC man ◊ 2011-10-15 21:24	OK there are not a lot of campers out there that are quite this ugly so I have gathered up some possibilities we have a Champion motorhome Link to "3.bp.blogspot.com" we have the Tiffin Allegro /vehicle_331144-Tiffin-Allegro.html the AMF Skamper /vehicle_437333-AMF-Skamper.html a Winnebago /vehicle_365273-Winnebago-Brave-1972.html along with these http://www.dodgetravcos.com/index.php?p=1_42&p2=1 I found this one that seems to match pretty well Link to "www.dodgetravcos.com" unfortunately I cant figure out what the one in my link is. so make your own opinion or think of more possibilities. by the way I doubt it is the Foretravel above it is just a bit to ugly to be a Foretravel we may never know what it is unless we ask someone who worked on the film. the links were the closest things I could find -- Last edit: 2011-10-18 17:03:50
antp ◊ 2011-11-25 14:06	They are similar because they are just boxes on wheels, but the details very too much. (and Cheif is written Chief) -- Last edit: 2011-11-25 14:06:26
tom11 ◊ 2012-01-06 04:13	The windows, door, and wheelbase look a lot like a mid 1970s Executive Diplomat II /vehicle_167883-Executive-Diplomat-II.html they also look a lot like a mid 1970s Champion Link to "imageshack.us" or a 1971 Georgie boy Cruise-Air /vehicle_61092-Georgie-Boy-Cruise-Air-1971.html or a 1976 Dodge Southwind http://www.freeride.co.uk/img/review/large/2462.jpg
chrome83 ◊ 2012-04-14 10:55	I can't find anything like it. Kinda Looks like an old Dodge Aloha Link to "www.google.ca" But the front grill and angeled windows do not match. -- Last edit: 2012-04-14 10:59:30
tom11 ◊ 2012-04-17 04:07	I agree with you chrome83, I think you've finally found it. This is an early-1970s Aloha, although probably not the same year or model, it looks quite similar to this one when it drives closer Link to "imgc.classistatic.com" its probably not the same year or model, but its definitely an Aloha.
tom11 ◊ 2012-04-17 17:05	After thinking about the year and model, its probably an Aloha 30', as 24' was shorter, and the year is about 1973.
BrentMosher420 ◊ 2015-05-31 13:11	Gamer - Anything to say about this one?
Gamer ◊ 2015-05-31 13:13	Yes - it's ugly.
BrentMosher420 ◊ 2015-05-31 21:21	What's weird is that I can't even positively make out the era it's from; late-1960s/early-1970s?
opal ◊ 2016-12-12 11:41	Not Aloha RV, it's somthing esle.

mike962 ◊ 2025-05-31 22:07	Terra wrote the wheels and length suggest Dodge M-Series chassis this is how crazy it was Quote In 1971 Dodge, with the largest piece of that market, sold 28,000 chassis to 50 different coach builders. Each RV manufacturer was building its version of what it thought a motor home should be. There were lots of choices for the motor home buyer, nearly all of them on a truck chassis. https://www.gmccolonial.com/gmc-motorhome-history -- Last edit: 2025-06-01 20:07:39
mike962 ◊ 2025-05-31 22:54	some more digging, Chevrolet based motorhomes have different wheels you see the holes go more towards the inside than on Dodge Dodge by comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzbuDIsBH90 -- Last edit: 2025-05-31 23:03:25
mike962 ◊ 2026-04-18 20:13	a similar but not quite it Overland West BTW here how this Motorhomes actually look , so chassis , engine and mechanics off the shelf usually Dodge M-Series and the coach builder just puts this structural frames on top that's why there were so many RV makers back then ... -- Last edit: 2026-04-18 20:21:28
