Cadillac RV

I was at an Auto wreckers this past weekend and came across this in the back 40: I believe it is a 1954.

Still looks in better shape than most 80-90s MHs I see out on the road.

Saw one in MI recently just like it. Thought it was a home built one.

Looking what appears to be a high roofline and long wheelbase I bet it was originally a hearse that got a 2nd life as a RV.

This is not it but there was one featured in an RV mag called His and Hearse. It had an Open Road camper grafted on and was very nicely done.

That looks to be a FWD Cadillac. Possibly just grafted onto a 5th wheel? Pretty cool idea!

When I was a teen a friend of our family converted a 56 Oldsmobile into a C Class RV. The family did a lot of traveling in it before its demise.

Cadillac RV

There is one of those on the Flea Market circuit in Florida. I've seen it twice in different markets and once camped beside the road. Apparently the operator still lives in the unit. Now that's a Cadillac life style!
