I build my own motorhome
 

As many here are interested on anything on wheels, I thought I share a project that kept me busy for about 2 years.

I could not find what I wanted, a motorhome that can carry a (race) car and still have some sufficient living space, so I decided to build my own. It took almost 2500 hours from drawing to first use.

Took it out for the first time last weekend, and it worked great!!

That’s really quite something. You have more pictures?

That looks incredible. I can’t wait for a tour at the next RMM race.

That’s freaking awesome! We need more details and pictures.

Wow. Lots of tallent and iniative on display. Great work.

To quote a friend of mine, who was admonished for swearing on a CB radio way back in the day, then promised never to do it again just before he got the mike back:

"****te, farck, damn, over"...

That is a work of art and function. Wow.

Freightliner chassis ? Very nice work 👏

Impressive to say the least. Beautiful inside and out. Show a pic with the car inside?

Stunning. Very impressive fabrication skills.

Yes I started with a Freightliner Cascadia road truck. I extended, double framed it and build a box on it.

Here are some more pictures of the frame and box build.

Nice. That’s what I’d like to have.

More pictures of the box and lift gate. It took a fair bit of time and effort to get the liftgate right, but it seems to work fine!

Certainly looks stout
Have you had it on a scale?

So what are you going to build next week :p

Amazing build. Design and fabricate the dream car hauler and motorhome.

I feel inferior now. :D

A lot of welds in that bad boy !!!!! Congratulations on the build .

holy ****!!!

I'll go get a membership at the talentless forum now... I cant cut plastic!!! hahahah..

This is incredible! Looks very over-built relative to the commercially available stuff, that’s for sure.
Two of the pictures actually look like one of the sides slides out, like a camper. The couches area looks like it extends well beyond the cab cutout. Am I seeing that correctly? Because I’m the skeleton framing photos, that doesn’t look possible.

Me too.

The execution of your project rrental is OUTSTANDING!

I have what looks to be about the same amount of space in trailer form... I can haul my race car in the garage and there's living quarters in the front. I think I like your solution better! The overall length of your setup I bet is shorter than mine, which is nice.

That's a pretty incredible set up too. Not only a fifth wheeler but I can hear it now "get that stinky car out of my living room!"
