YAHOO!!! I finally found one...(motorhome)
I am sooo stoked, I just bought this on ebay:1968 Chevrolet Open Road motorhome
 Going to make the 400 mile trek from my home in SE Minnesota to Escanaba, MI this weekend sometime to collect my "winnings". Any board members in that area? Will have more pictures and hopefully a good story to tell next week. Hopefully a story about a boring ride home and the truck's flawless operation! While we are at it, I would also like to know who else owns similar rigs? And of course, you should post some pics!!! Chris H. |

Great find. That's a real time warp machine. I love those old Open Roads too.
Are you going to keep the camper on it?

Yes, this one will continue to function as a motor home for many years to come!
My 2 young sons and wife are almost as excited as I am!

That is very impressive. Looks like it was hardly used! Less than 28,000 miles! You got the buy of year for sure.

Now when you get it back, you pick the campground and Mrs da-burb and I will be there with ours. It will look like a time warp has occured. That or the hicks have come out of the hills.
