Check out this old dodge RV

Post by Dennis The Bus Dweller »

I was headed to the post office and this old rig pulled in to the storage place. The guy has been putting some time and money in to it and he's gaining on it :wink: Overall it's in good shape 8)

It's a Travco. I'm glad I'm not the one who has to work on it, that big Dodge V8 is really shoehorned into the engine compartment. Buying gas for it must be a debilitating experience.

Somewhere (probably on TV) I saw one of those with a big smiley face on the front. Cute.

That is one of the rather unusual ones.

It is shorter than the standard Travco, about 24-26' If IIRC.

The standard Travco was four or five feet longer. You notice the difference in the way the bathroom window looks as if it was added as an afterthought.
