More RVs

 The European RVs keep rolling in (by ship) and some domestic ones are begining to appear too as tourist season gets underway. 

The desire for "stealth" RVs is a bit of a current fad. The idea is to make the RV look like an anonymous  commercial vehicle, and thus attract no attention when parked for the night, perhaps in a dodgy location. Leaving the exterior plain white and without signs of conversion is a good "cover", but adding a ladder and extra windows is a dead giveaway.


 

A Dodge Ram 2500 ProMaster is a good start for a stealth RV, but this one will fool no one.

Not exactly stealth is a an ex military ambulance with red cross on the roof:

I can't begin to imagine how uncomfortable something like this must be - even on good roads. Magirus-Deutz is certainly a rare find in North America. Does that cab tilt?

There are two or three "native" Scanias in Atlantic Canada, so the number of RV Scanias likely outnumbers them as they keep coming in.

I cannot help but smile when it see this VW with Karmann camper body:

 

I dislike the word "cute" on principal, but I can think of no other. I suspect it must be pretty wobbly in a strong crosswind.
