The eight-cylinder engine has a displacement of 7,450cc. With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg and an unladen weight of 2,736kg, a payload of 764kg remains. A wheelbase of 4,180mm combined with a width of 2,430mm on four wheels results in a wide, long motorhome chassis.
A large-displacement eight-cylinder petrol engine was a typical drivetrain solution in early-1970s American motorhomes, since diesel engines were then uncommon in this market segment. With a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg, the vehicle stays within EU category N1 and can be driven on a category B licence.
When preserving or acquiring an American motorhome of this age, damp in the body matters most, for instance around the windows, roof and the joins between body and chassis, along with the condition of the large-displacement petrol engine and its carburettor. Corrosion on the frame and floor, and the brakes and steering, which deserve particular attention given this weight and age, are also worth checking. Equally important is the condition of the electrical system and the gas supply for the fridge and heating, which often need renewing on a motorhome of this age, along with the suspension given this long wheelbase.
