Custom Build 6x6 H.D. Motorhome $20,000
Hi there, I thought you might be interested in an unusual motor home which i have had the pleasure of building over a period of many years. All the hard work and mistakes are finally overcome. When i started this project i was about 20 years younger and full of adventure for camping in the boondocks and wilderness in British Columbia, Canada. My wife's idea of camping now is to go on a cruise. I have come to the conclusion that joining her is the best policy.
Now I have a one of a kind go anywhere motor home sitting in our yard ready to take a younger couple out on adventures in North American wilderness.
A short history about myself. I am of German background, trained in metal fabricating and machining in Germany and have operated my own machine shop in B.C. for over 20 years otherwise a project like this motor home is almost impossible to accomplish.
