Here's a shot from an old early 70's movie called "Slither":
Does anybody know what brand that RV is? It's evil looking. I want one.

It looks like a one off made for the movie, but I'll guess it's based off a Dodge Ram van from the early 70s.

Wow, the internet is an amazing thing. I did a little digging around and found this blurb. I swear I've seen one or two in real life, so I was sure they had to be real. Plus, for that movie, they actually had two of them, and they seemed to be too high-quality to be one-offs. I'd always suspected they were real motorhomes, just painted black to look more menacing.
About 7-8 years ago, there was a similar looking rig that showed up at a local park-and-sell lot. It was based on a Chevy platform though, rather than Dodge. Neat looking rig. It would've been a cool thing to salvage, but I guess old motorhomes are kind alike combining the problems of old houses with old cars!

If by "prominent horizontal bars" you mean the single horizontal light bar in the middle of the grille,that was a feature of the GT model in both '65 and '66
No, I was referencing the horizontal portion of the "gunsight bars" as seen in this non-GT '65 Coupe>
No such bars existed on the '66 cars, making it the easiest way to tell them apart
from any distance>

I bow before your superior knowledge, Andy. Good spotting--I hadn't remembered that the '65 had those. Guess I'm getting forgetful. . .

Neat. I like identifying various mass production car parts on motorhomes, such as headlight assemblies, tailights, and sometimes grilles.

Whoo-eeh, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that thing when the "Thermosan" was in operation! Incinerating excrement, now there's a pleasant thought!

And behind the Mustang is a '65 or '66 Ford F100 pickup, and clearly recognizeable behind the truck is a '63 Chevrolet Wagon. But nobody commented on the gas prices! How about that 34.9 for regular!!! Ah, those were the days...

That's a 1956 Cadillac Series 62 coupe. My best friend's cousin has a turquoise blue one with a white roof. Trivia: The year "Nineteen Fifty-Six" is spelled out in gold script on the dashboard.
