The recreational vehicle is a symbol of America and has become a staple on our roads, especially during vacation periods. They’re large, comfortable, and majestic. But fast? No, not even slightly. Unless, of course, the RV in question is this 1977 GMC LSR Motorhome.
As you may have guessed, this isn’t your average recreational vehicle. This mighty machine is the world’s fastest “Class A” motorhome, with a startling official timed speed of 121.50 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats, where just about anything goes for glory. Some of you may be wondering what would possess someone to build something like this.
The back story is rather heartwarming, with The Autopian reporting that the owner, Britt Palmer, wanted to raise awareness about Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a little-known disorder that damages nerves in the legs and arms. Diagnosed in 2010, Palmer decided he wouldn’t let it get him down and set about building the “MoHo,” as it’s affectionately known.
