Cool, a little rough looking though.  We found a 77 Travco  that we liked real well and was in excellent  shape, but we had no money at the time. By the time we had any money it was gone. I think it was 32 ft. and had a 440 in it.  ;D
Used to own a 1968 MCI 5A and a 1977 5C.

This Ultra Van was in the parking lot of our local Wally World a few months ago. They were traveling Route 66 in it and were in the process of restoring it. More room in it than it appears from the outside. Kind of cool! I did a web search on them and it appears they have rallies as well.

Ah, yes, the little "Whale on Wheels!"  Happy little thing, the Ultra Van:

2003 VW Jetta TDI Sportwagon "Towed"

Travco motor homes caught my eye in the mid to late 70's.  Workmanship was terrific - IMO. 
We were in a 27' Chieftain II by Winnebago at that time.  I was impressed that Travco's upper end units came with a for real chandelier over the dining table.  As I recall she handled really well on the road.  Tried to do a trade but was unsuccessful.
It's a classic and when $$ (my ship comes in-When?? LOL) is no object it would be a great Restoration project. 

Enjoying the journey in NC,

What a journey in NC.

Dallas, I had a 75 Travco for about 8 years until my bus started coming together. That one must be older, late 60s early 70s. We had more compliments on the Travco, one guy wanted to kiss it. Tom Y

That one in the picture has the M375 chassis Dodge chassis, since I see 5 bolt wheels, and most likely the excellent 413 engine.  Also, it looks like it has the original 7.5 water cooled 4 cylinder Kohler in the rear right of the coach.  Nice motorhomes.  Good luck, TomC
