Gino Lucci, an Air Force veteran, came across an old Doublas R4D airplane fuselage back in 2019, which was damaged by a tornado, and decided to purchase it for the cost of a used car. It didn’t sit there for long afterwards, as he dreamed of turning it into a fully-functional luxury RV. So, he began collecting parts from Bontrager’s Surplus and then spent a year building the unique vehicle, built atop a delivery truck, at his home in Michigan.

This luxury RV doesn’t just use the outer shell, but rather retains many of the original airplane parts. How so? The front fuselage was bolted directly to the delivery truck’s frame, while the air stairs still unfold from the right side and the plane’s intercom is still functional to boot. Other small details include engine cowlings turned wheel guards and even a play area for his son.

The seats from the old airplane were used for the driver & front passenger seats in the RV. They added a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom – complete with a stove, sink, fridge, microwave, cabinets, sofa, dinette booth, toilet and even a tub!,” said Lucci.
