This is a 1975 Executive Industries RV. Executive Industries went
out of business I believe about 1984 or 85. The
trade mark and some model names were purchased and still appear on some
RVs. The monster is built on a 440
Dodge "Motor Home M-600" chassis which is an extended HD truck frame and
drive train. Tires are the common
19.5 R 8 and gas mileage runs about 7.5 mpg. The interior is 70's of
course, dark paneling and shag carpet, lots
of Harvest Gold as one might expect. Keeping it running, engine,
exhaust, maintenance if a living nightmare. But
it just keeps going and going and going.........the travel package also
includes a CAMO GrandAM and matching
tow dolly. I recently added some Olive Drab curtains, more work to
do still.......

Next we coated the roof with poly-sealant |

The roof is capable of supporting great weight |
