I recall seeing a couple of those, but the rear was a fiberglass one piece looking add-on. The one I remember most was turquoise with a white roof, and the add-on was white. Looks better painted the body color for sure.

so the wheel base stays the same and this is a fiberglass add on? I looked inside and was surpised at the room, even has a bathroom, I ddin't get to see if shower was their, but it looked as though it was in use, so I didn't walk in.

That was built by Travco. They specialized in Class A motorhomes in the late '60s through the '70s. They did build what you see here, too, but far fewer of them. Neat rig.
