5 Crazy Motorhomes
These races place destruction and
ridiculousness above speed.
If you're someone
who thinks that racing isn't racing without a little rubbin', then you'll love
checking out all of these crazy motorhome and camper races. These races are
filled with destruction and hilarity and prove that anything with four wheels
and a motor can be raced. Then again, this so-called "hobby" isn't
for everyone and some may find it a bit strange.If you're the type of person
who cuts people off in the fast lane while towing a trailer, then this is the
sport for you.

London Double Decker
Project: To convert an ex-London Transport double-decker bus into
a motorhome for 2 families and a disabled child with complex medical needs.
This ambitious project started with the purchase of a 1985
MCW metrobus. You don’t just walk down to the local car dealership and pick one
of these babies up. After much Google-ing, one was located in southern England.
Steve flew to Stansted airport to pick it up and drove it nine hours home.
The camper construction includes an upper deck
bathroom, four bunks, a fully equipped kitchen, computer workstation, and
inverters and generators for all the electrical needs.

Stephen Stewart’s travel beginnings go back to an
18-month stint in the late ’60s as a mission hospital mechanic in South Africa.
For his return trip home to the UK, he did what any normal person would have
done: he got his hands on a Land Rover, drove north to Kenya, shipped the
vehicle to India and cut a trail through the central mountains in Afghanistan.
In 2000, Stephen bought
his 1980 Unimog U1300L and spent about a year camperizing it.
He then proceeded to take it to China and Tibet, northern Europe
and Iceland, Siberia and
Mongolia, and Central and South
America.
This is the sickest camper I’ve ever seen. It’s no wonder the
Japanese are world leaders in auto engineering. Over two years, three
highschool mates built a freakin’ two-story house on a truck, complete with shoji(Japanese traditional screen) andtatami mat.
The best part is, none of them are carpenters
or engineers, giving the rest of us some hope.
Between 2000 and 2002,
they traveled over
25,500 kms around Japan in
the “house-mobile”. You gotta see it to believe it.

By the early 1900s the rich
were taking to this gypsy lifestyle for holidays.
His books attracted other gentry to this novel
way of spending leisure time and as the early 20th Century loomed the caravan
movement was slowly growing. Several books were written by various users of
these horse drawn caravans, with advice given on where to go and what to look
out for with regard to terrain and inns en-route.
