One of the most beautiful motor home was also ahead of it's time created by GMC. Most RV's were boxy looking. The GMC Motor Coach had soft rounded styling and well appointed interior components.

One of the best class A motorhomes I've seen was made by Bluebird, the school bus mfr for about 6 mos. in the late 80's. This would make a great addition to another compilation of this type. As an active RVer for over 40 yrs I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Thank you.

The GMC Motorhome is an engineering marvel. The only motorhome to be built by a major car manufacturer. Built fro 73 to 78 close to 70% of these are still around.

They are all uniquely designed and they are pretty amazing

My friend has the shorter version of the GMC. All original except standard worn parts replacement. The air suspension float!!!! Its so cool! These are all amazing!! Thanks!

The Thames van & that first pop up were my favorites.

My husband started talking about wanting to build his own teardrop camper (he's a journeyman carpenter).
I never really knew what they were but I love vintage camping items so I wanted to learn more. I love all of these & hope to find a vintage camper such as one of these. There's something magical about them all. I wish my parents would had kept the one we had growing up.

7:58 The Shadow is very maneuverable, and with a proper frame mounted on a vehicle it would do well today.

no. 6 is ingenious. love how it converts into motor home . smart looking!

The restored a FMC on the show Counting cars. It was beautifully done in classic 70’s style.

That bubble camper in the beginning is very cool looking.

My Grandparents had an FMC, man it was fun as a kid playing around a house on wheels! Fond memories of shag carpeting too! Lol

[beverlylange]

LOVE THE HOUSE CAR CAMPER, I WOULD BUY ONE LIKE THAT NOW DAYS!!!

[jray]

Very cool campers! I usually think of campers as a fairly recent phenomenon, but this reminded me how cool they were back in the day. If 800 of 1000 FMC’s are still around, that’s a well built camper.

[davidgrisham]

That shadow trailer seems really cool!

@6:00 My dad went the reverse route, bought an old school bus and turned it into a camper! It was kinda neat riding in a school bus that wasn't taking you to school. A kid's revenge! LOL

With my parents and sister. My family used to have a Starcraft pop up camper from the 1970’s. My parents bought it in 1976 used. We had lots of fun in camping those 3 years. We did used it when guests will used it or my parents during the 80’s when we had a vacation house. Even my parents used it for my sister or myself to sleep in the early 90’s. My parents sold it to a friend’s daughter who was married with a couple of children in the early 90’s. I do missed it.
