Actually, what you have stumbled upon is a Vixen motorhome. Made in the late '70's into the '80's. They had a folding roof similar to a Dormobile, but only went up a foot and a half or so, but 7'headroom inside with it up. 21 feet long, so theoretically garageable. They also made a "hi-roof" model with a molded hard roof. Those typically had a 3.8l Buick/GM v6. They also (usually) came with central a/c and heat, microwave (no stove), fridge, all the typical amenities. Spoke with an owner a couple years ago, he got mid-20's for mileage with the BMW diesel, was going to put an intercooler in sometime, but didn't really need it, easily able to keep up with traffic. I was intrigued with the rig, to say the least. steve '85 westy kent, wa >From: BenTbtstr8@aol.com >In a message dated 5/17/01 11:34:55 PM Pacific Daylight Time, ><a href=mailto:CTONLINE@webtv.net>CTONLINE@webtv.net</a> writes: > ><< I never heard of, seen, touched, or realized, there was such a thing. > BMW diesel? > Now I'm not excited. >> > >Another one for sale in San Diego. click link to see photo: > ><A >HREF="<a href=http://images.traderonline.com/images/pix/sandiego/SD010403fal0102.jpg>htt p://images.traderonline.com/images/pix/sandiego/SD010403fal0102.jpg</a>"> ><a href=http://images.traderonline.com/images/pix/sandiego/SD010403fal0102.jpg>htt p://images.traderonline.com/images/pix/sandiego/SD010403fal0102.jpg</a></A> > ><a href=http://images.traderonline.com/images/pix/sandiego/SD010403fal0102.jpg>htt p://images.traderonline.com/images/pix/sandiego/SD010403fal0102.jpg</a> > >BenT >
