Yesterday the lovely Mrs. W and I went camping (friday actually) but yesterday evening as we came back into the campground after a busy day I pulled up to the camp office behind a bussy looking thing.

I noticed a finned oil pan under the back and my ears perked up....this was no ordinary motor home, it was shaped like a 1947 road bus, the kind with the aluminum bodies which slope down in the back in a mild fast back with the pusher jimmy in back....this one though was half scale though, it had an aluminum body with visible rivits.

The back said something like "trailmaster" (that's not right but it sounded vaguely like a bus mfgr, it had a diecast name plate)....I got out and walked around the front, it had a front which also looked similar to an old bus but had a three or four piece windshield which wrapped around to the side of the vehicle. It had a side entry door like a motor home.

The wheels were pretty small and next to the door was a corvair club sticker, I figured it had to be corvair powered. As it pulled away I was disappointed to hear nothing as it had a comprehensivly quiet muffler system.

The track indicated a widened drivetrain as compared to a corvair so I was wondering how that was done....today I drove around the campground hoping for another look at it but it was gone.

A very interesting oddball and neat looking vehicle.

One of a kind?

Anybody have a clue?
