But then again with something that Old, there’s really not a whole lot that could go wrong with it. Everything mechanical if the engine is tight, why not

Ok, how to you tilt the cab with that RV body on it? What do you do if it breaks down on the road, and you can't access anything because you can't tilt the cab?

Yeah, the bed tilts but I would bet only if the engine runs the hyd!

Hell, I haven’t even thought of that

I don’t know anything about them, but I expect there’s probably a pretty good size plate. You can remove inside the cab.

I actually drove two of them but just briefly I forgot all about that. I do remember this steering wheel were huge.

Good point. At the same time I wouldn’t be surprised if the hydraulic tilt is electric….

Definitely would be a conversation starter at the campground. 😎

Really depends on how it was modified. If it was purpose built for lifting the RV, then it would be no problem provided it had enough battery. On the other hand, if it was a repurposed tilt bed or rear dump grain body, the cyl would take too much oil for electric/battery. No telling from the pictures.

I’d still like to have it, although our idea of camping is driving the explorer to a hotel generally when we travel, there’s gotta be an ocean of amusement parks, good restaurants, of course antique vehicles to look at neither one of us is actually interested in roughing it out in the wild ha ha
