Travco motorhomes were manufactured on a Dodge motorhome chassis, and Travco's originator, Ray Frank, evidently coined the term 'motorhome'.

Neo's 1/43 off white version depicts a mid '60s version while Spark's 1/43 dark version depicts one from the mid '70s.

Spark's black Travco was offered years ago as the 'John Player Special' race team motorhome, which I modified by adding the grey lower two-tone color scheme as well as eschewing the hubcap 'bling' for more typical open truck style wheels.
