Moby & Toby a 1969 and 1970 Dodge Travco Renovation/Restoration Project

A Little History of Moby, the Vintage 1969 Dodge Travco Travelling RV

Category: TravelBlog

Once Upon a Time...

...Driving through Salem, New York, a couple of miles across the border from Vermont. An unceremonious journey, or so it seemed until a big goofy looking white whale of an RV a.k.a. Moby stood by the side of a rural road in the front of a wooded yard under a pine tree looking all good and ready to go on the road, PLUS it had a for sale sign on it. Working at festival events and travelling the US would would never be the same again...Ahhh..welcome to the Travco love trap! 

Ended up buying it that day for the business as a merchandise vehicle. That was more than 15 years ago and now it's time to get Moby, the Travelling RV back up to what it cries out for a travelling merchandise and promo vehicle and ready for prime time.

A Little Travco Trivia...

The country music star Johnny Cash owned and toured in several Dodge Travcos (many of which are included in documentaries and films about him) over the course of his career; William Shatner of 'Star Trek' had a specially customized 1979 Travco with four wheel drive. Travco was considered a leader in the industry, and was the first manufacturer to create a vehicle that defined the modern day Motorhome. Lucille Ball used a Dodge, Travco throughout the first four episodes of season 2, as Lucy, Harry, Kim and Craig take a road trip to Colorado. Gary Player rode with the Team Lotus in a specially outfitted Dodge,Travco.
