Located in the Southern Appalachia area. These are quite common throughout the South and known as RV Docks. Some people live in them year round, some come down from the North for winter.

  1. Love the #10 RV dock. I would build it in steel 4×4 and 4×6 I beams. That’s how my carport is. 24×30 vaulted roof. I just have old carpet over gravel floor. Tom

  2. 6) What kind of vehicle is that doing the pulling? Almost looks like a car converted for heavier duty use.

    9) I dig the RV dock, especially wherever in Southern Appalachia that is. First time seeing one like that.

    10) Also the first time I’m seeing a restomod coach, but I’m all for it.

    17) That is an odd looking little camper. I kind of like it just for the oddity.

    • I think it is a an old Hudson Hornet, but I can’t be sure, it doesn’t have it’s distinctive grill, and it has a 5th wheel hitch or a gooseneck hitch in the trunk.

      They RV docks are peppered in the back woods of Alabama and Georgia and Florida and saw some in Tennessee. Some are simple like that some have rooms on the other side where the trailer or coach sit. I know in Alabama the taxes are real cheap because it is not considered a home, just an out building.

    • Interesting video. The first rider comes to “freeze frame” stop while the rest of the video plays on.

  3. In my part of central NY those RV docks are a dime a dozen.

    You will even see full sized mobile homes enclosed in these docks with year round living.

  4. BoilerDoc is something else, thanks for that. 11 I’m in, so is Liver Eatin Johnson and Hatchet Jack and they are called Rendezvous’s Cederq.

      • 17 Ingenuous and well thought out. 19 Saw a smaller version a year ago, pretty sure the guy was a photographer.

    • With this motley crew, it would be a Jamboree, all the hooting and hollering and guffows and peels of laughter and drunken shenanigans’ going on and all of us missing our big 10mms…

  5. They use those RV docks for vacation beach properties in western Washington a lot. First rv trailer I bought, I had to pick it up from one.

  6. The green and white vehicle in # 7 that looks like a factory rejected A/C condenser, I would not drive that.

  7. The tricky part on #3 wouldn’t be the drive train but rather the suspension. You’d have to get rid of the back half of the hydro-pneumatic suspension.

    Not that it couldn’t be done but probably really easy to screw up.
