Actually, I don’t exactly know _what_ it was but it was certainly big! My usual route from the bus stop to my job takes me past a hotel, this morning I spotted this thing in the hotel parking lot. With the front end of a long-nose semi and a body shape reminicent of a vintage Greyhound, it appeared to be an R/V built on a 25’ ten-wheel truck chassis.

Ah, that’s the link I was trying to find. Take the Pilgramage, change the front end to [one of these Peterbilts](http://www.peterbilt.com/promo-2002eng.asp), add about 15 feet and you get the idea.

If I see it again I’ll look for a manufacturer’s name, they probably have a website.

Ethilrist, that site was _so_ funny. On the order form one of the options is a heliport \<snort\>!

I was searching the 'Net and think I found the manufacturer of that unusual RV: [Cowboy Cadillac](http://www.cowboycadillac.com/toterking1.htm).
