I stood in this vehicle for a moment in August. No need for a seat belt on the toilet—it didn't have one.



Palmer Designs, Ltd. About This Project

Long story, short, we took a perfectly stock GMC Motorhome and gave it to world renowned car builder, Dennis McCarty of Vehicle Effects to give it a complete “Go Fast” makeover...Dennis and an associate of his, Luke Richards of Lucra Cars, removed everything flammable, including the floors, wheel wells, cabinets, old wiring and appliances and replaced everything with aluminum and fiberglass. We then installed a full-length chromoly roll cage from front to back. The entire suspension system was replaced with new and more modern parts like quad air bags, Air Ride suspension, 6 wheel disc brakes, stabilizer bars and Fox shocks, A-Arms, new steering components and more... Oh yea, I forgot to mention that she was fitted with a new 600HP Chevy big block 502 Ram Jet fuel injected motor and an upgraded TH425 Transmission.



At Speed Week on the Bonneville Salt Flats...on August 12, 2013, we successfully drove the GMC LSR “MoHo” 120.8 mph. We were only 7.8 mph short of the overall Guinness World Record for “Worlds Fastest Motorhome” but we were very pleased with the results considering we were rookies. It’s a cool feeling to know you have the fastest GMC Motorhome on the planet. In 2014, we are installing a supercharger and perhaps we’ll make another final drive gear ratio change. Then we are headed back to Bonneville to finish what we started.

Here's the one they didn't beat—Full interior, street legal, pop-top, etc.

Now if you are in a rush to arrive at the campsite and you’re in the market for a new set of wheels to go faster, be very happy: The new record-setting Westfalia Jules Verne home-on-wheels, with the exception of small modifications to the engine in production configuration, and street legal. The fastest camper in the world can therefore be bought by interested customers.

OTOH, I'm working on a single-occupant camper interior inside a VW Beetle body. Who needs a Westy.
