1966 Dodge Travco Motorhome
Share this Post
We purchased this 1966 Dodge Travco Motorhome sight-unseen off of Craigslist in December 2013. Updated the interior during the coldest Minnesota winter in history, in an unheated shed, and then took off on a grand adventure around the U.S. and Mexico.
When we left, Ouest was 4, and Lowe was 2. They still call this their favorite home.
Living for over 2 years in a 27 foot vintage bus.
Vintage Style
They simply don’t make ’em like this any more. The curves, the color, the 60s! No other RV even compares. If you want to roll in classic style, and stand out from the crowd on the road and in the campground, then there is nothing better.
Fiberglass
A two-piece all fiberglass body is what makes this RV from 1966 still look so great today. There isn’t a crack or repair anywhere on this motorhome. Never crashed, and never so much as bumped a tree. It’s beautiful and straight.
V8 - 318 Poly Engine
The 318 engine is widely considered to be one of the best engines ever built. Bulletproof is the word most often associated with it. Best of all, you can walk into any NAPA today and find every part you could ever want for it.

Ladder
The ladder, and the roof railings, were another addition built by the original owner. The man was a talented welder. It’s a flawless design, matching the curves of the Travco perfectly.
Solar
We added 300 Watts of Renogy Solar Panels to the roof. These are wired through a 40amp converter, and from there to two Trojan batteries.
Bumper Box
The front bumper is a highlight of this bus. It does double duty as a window washing platform, and as a park bench.
