I have no idea, but I'll speculate that the tractor is an ex Allied Van Lines. These are not mine, they are from another closed forum, but if anyone is drooling (like me) I can get the sellers info.

I could live in it. I can picture it in my head, oriental rug, a chaise lounge green, small drop leaf table, red wing back chair with a vintage newspaper holder next to it on the floor Mahogany of course, facing a wicker rocker, a couple antique light fixtures converted to 12v, hanging beads To separate the sleeping platform surrounded by fringe bottom etc etc a real vintage hippy lookng minus the drugs of course place. Boy that is one cool rig, imagine spending life in it on the road exploring the US until you were to old to do it anymore. And yes I haven't forgot the other essentials plus the need to sucure things. Thank you for posting a dream I would love to have.

I think I would plunk in a Diesel engine before going out of my yard. Those old gas burners would bankrupt you!

First thing I thought of was the circus trailer we used to haul elephants in - They would have loved a chase lounge

Dick, I gotta ask, what did it feel like when an elephant shifted his or her weight while rounding a turn. I agree about the chase lounge, They not only would have loved it but , after a hard day of Circus work I think they deserved one. In fact Im sure there must be some kinda law about it on the books, at least here in California.

How about an outhouse on castors - We had some old moving vans - - This was in 65/66 and they were old then - We would put 3 full grown female elephants in a van - If you've ever seen elephants that are caged or chained they rock back and forth constantly - It was ok cause I was a highly experienced 17 year old and I had super powers - I got called one night because the elephants got loose and were raiding a farmers corn field, but it was ok because I could go out in that field with an ear hook and bring one in - See super powers above.

Now that's funny, rounding up Elephants in a corn field cracks me up. It funny how indestructible we think we are at that age.
