The tow vehicle could rotate 360 degrees and allow you face the trailer to back it up.
Here ya go:I don't recall seeeing anything very unusual "in the wild"
We did stop at an RV museum in Amarillo, TX a few years ago. I rather enjoyed it
the one that sticks in my mind was this one (not my picture)...(edit: well my link attempt didn't work. It was an old 1921 Ford Lamsteed Kampkar. I'm sure you can find it via google... perhaps THE original motorhome.)
and I also enjoyed seeing inside the GMC motorhome.....seems like there was something noteworthy about that model...owned by somebody famous or something....memory is fuzzy.
Anyway, worthy a stop if it's still there!
wow imagine the load on that front end. Deadly if they have a flat on the front.August 2020, Brown County State Park, Indiana:
The FMC had a 413 Chrysler industrial engine if I recall. There was a very good thread somewhere on the internet about a guy who did an excellent job of removing that and fitting a Duramax with an Allison transmission and using a special short tailhousing and parking brake on the output and made a new stainless fuel tank, etc. Very professionally done.Remember the Ford 460 powered pusher from FMC?

I saw this dude at the north rim of the Grand Canyon one year. Well, I saw the rig, he was probably out hiking somewhere.
That would be so cool with a modern drivetrain. Like the a Cummings straight six diesel.The FMC had a 413 Chrysler industrial engine if I recall.

The 460 pusher was a Winnebago that had a lot of fires and they bought all of them back. Eventually resold them to another firm after the Winnebago date plates and info were removed. The other firm converted them to Ford V10 gas engines.
