Ladies and gents, may we proudly present the greatest RV in the world. It"s a 1972 Winnebago Brave christened Happy Camper", and is probably the most excellent rolling home-from-home on the planet.No, not because it has a monkey bike attached to the front. Or a Webber barbeque strapped to the back (although they both do help its cause greatly). This is excellent because of what"s nestled in the middle: a supercharged Wegner Motorsports LS 408 that"s powering it with a nutty 900bhp. Yes, you read that right. Nine hundred. In an RV. Shut up and take our money already.As a point of clarification for our European readers, an RV (or recreational vehicle) is America"s answer to the humble road plug that we call a caravan.However, these staycation on wheels don"t have to be dragged behind a car. Instead, RVs are self-sufficient corrugated boxes that can nomadically trudge across America under their own steam. Normally, they"re powered by a large capacity, low power but torquey diesel or petrol engine. Clearly, this one didn"t get the memo.
