My new motor home OT

[Don Coatney]

Needs a little fixin up but she should be a beauty when I am done with her. Think I should go with wide whitewalls?

[randroid]

Don,

Looks good but do the lines on the paneling line up?

One of the first "Woodies":eek:

[Plymouthy Adams]

I think you should just get tires...period!!!

[Flatie46]

I was always told you can't tell much about one till you get her up about 80 or so. Let me know how that comes out Don.

[Jim Saraceno]

Did you have to move out that nice family or do they come with the RV?

[Niel Hoback]

It would look so much better with some mudflaps, static straps, and curb feelers.

[P-12 Tommy]

That could be the family of his ancestor from the late 1800's Coatney.:D

Is that part of a Tennessee license plate I see,,,,,,,,,,,,?

[JoelOkie]

Looks a lot like the house we had out behind the house when I was a kid.

[Plymouthy Adams]

given the era of that pictures odds are this is the best they could get at the time and was thankful for it..

This looks like some of the car houses used by dust bowl era migrant workers in California. Some used conventional tents on the ground as they followed the crops. Some built a box like this on a car chassis and stayed in it at night. Photographer Dorthea Lang took some photos of these vehicles in her travels.

Here's a direct link to some of Dorothea Lang's amazing photographs of the dustbowl.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

[Young Ed]

[Reg Evans]

OK ! Finally a job. Here I come. Oh wait. I retire officially in 5 more days.

[Young Ed]

Oh good. By the time you get here you'll be retired. No distractions then

[Reg Evans]

Alrighty then. All I need now is the job site address and a hefty deposit.

I swear ive seen this rv before, in real life! I was driving on a dirt road some where in northern arizona and there was an old ford with a box on it just like this one!

[Greenbomb]

I had an uncle once who had about a '30 Ford truck with a little house on the back very similar to that. Complete with wood burning stove. It was his huntin' rig.

[Olddaddy]

At the rate things are going in the country that Ford motorhome will be prime real estate in no time at all. I might want to rent it Don if you could spare it for awhile.
