Coolest motorhome ever (as "RV" includes sailboats, jetskis and ATVs) would be the mid-1970's FMC. A diesel V8/6-speed auto transplant is all this rear engine pusher needs as to vehicle spec. Fully independent suspension, and all the amenities that make for independent living on the road.

If you know how big a Saab 92 is you'll know these are going to be about the size of VW Multivan. They were built for Europe where you'll never be more than a day from supplies. A 30+ft bus is totally uncool in Europe.
Hard to think of anything cooler than travelling the country in your own, self built 'motor caravan'. On an Eco forum, the only 'cool' RV is a camper trailer on the back of a bicycle. It could have a solar panel and electric motor so it would be energy neutral for the rider to tow.

Is it lowered, or is that stance factory ? I love the covered wheels on all sides.
- What is with the steering wheel in a table idea going on here ?

It's hand built by the original owner, so it's 'factory' in a way. The driving position is odd, but it's built on a fwd car chassis, so it probably wasn't easy to package everything.
