I've come up with an idea on building a full sized camper, sort of like the
old Holiday Rambler motorhomes.  I've got the inside pretty much finished but
the outside looks just like a large brick on wheels.  I plan on adding a side
awning and a bike rack (complete with bike) on the back.  Maybe I can add some
sort of air conditioner unit on the top... but my question is, what makes a
motorhome look like a camper?  In other words, what can I add to this brick to
make it appear as a motorhome to the general audience?  Any ideas would be
apprecieated.

Thanks
Barbara

(...) "looks just like a large brick on wheels". You may have *already* captured the spirit of the old motorhomes. Actually, I think I saw pictures of a motorhome with fake brick paneling covering the outside. Life imitates art... Steve (24 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.build)
