These 17 Most Remarkable RVs Will Leave You Scratching Your Head

This post was updated on March 15th, 2024

It would be a boring world if everyone dressed the same, acted the same, or liked the same foods. Fortunately, that’s not the case. The ways people enjoy camping and the outdoor lifestyle say a lot about a person’s likes and dislikes.

For example, you’re probably not a Miller drinker if you paint the outside of your motorhome with the Budweiser logo.

Only 16 of  these Daystar motorhomes were ever made. Built on a Dodge chassis, the Daystar featured an all Cor-ten steel body and teak interior. Most astonishing of all? It reportedly sold for more than $70,000!

You don’t see many like this. Although we did find one Toyota Motorhome owner who installed a wood stove in his vintage RV!

Not sure about this one…it’s got Chevy hubcaps though?

  1. Fourth from the bottom is an Eldorado Starfire EMC Motorhome. They were built mid to late 80’s, and had a Ford 460 in the BIGGEST engine bay you’ve ever seen. There is room to climb in next to the engine to work on it. My main complaint (in my one brief visit in one) was the headroom. At 6ft I couldn’t quite stand upright, and I’d have to duck under the A/C, the doorways, and other fixtures.
