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.
