I really dig the idea, but it would have been even better if the camper part would have been made in the style of the Caddy. Swooping curves and fins and all.

Yeah pretty nice. A '50s-styled camper would have been much cooler but also much more expensive to build...or rightly expensive to buy used, if you DIY'ed it.

When I was growing up, my buddy's dad raced hydroplanes against a guy that had a similar setup.

But instead of a camper on back, he had an enclosed box to hold tools, engines and stuff, and behind that was a stacker setup that held 3 hydros. Pretty damn cool!!!

A truck full of tools that launches multiple hydrofoils...maybe he was the inspiration for the vehicles in G.I. Joe

Did passengers hang off the side of it like old-timey firefighters?

I love campers like that. Will pick one up eventually, but it needs to be closer.

I can't tell if I really really hate it or really really like it

In reply to mad_machine:

I really really really like it!!! Almost as much as the excited train guy.

Is anyone else thinking about how to ditch the camper and do a pickup bed to match the hearse body?

Don't know why, that caddy-ish RV reminds me of these guys:
