Aka Itasca Phasar: 1986 Winnebago LeSharo
This next car comes as a tip from Dave in Tampa who writes: It must be the only running, driving and decent condition Winnebago LeSharo left on planet Earth. I can’t speak for all the other Metaverses, but here on our patch of the cosmos it’s gotta be unique. There was a company that specialized in retrofitting Chrysler V6 drivetrains into these. I’m sure they’re long gone. Built from Renault Trafic vans that were imported as knock-down kits, the LeSharo (and Phasar) was designed to save fuel compared to the typical mobile home. Find this 1986 Winnebago Lesharo offered for $6,900 in Holiday, FL via spaceplace bookfurance.

I guess it’s better that I didn’t have that temptation but what a deal!
Could have put a “If You Drove This You Would Be Home By Now” bumper sticker on it.
Darn.
Just noticed the toilet and what looks like a shower in the middle of everything surrounded by nothing but carpet and facing the open exterior door. Is this a Florida thing?
Despite calling Tampa home, I resist the urge to defend Florida as ain’t nobody got time for dat. But I can definitively say that the French drivetrain in this motorhome might suggest shameless public defecation is possible though the missing bidet is rather un-Gallic. Chances are there’s a privacy screen for the less bold among us.
Would you *actually* shell out the ask on one of these Hugh? My mind boggles at the impulse to load my family into one of these wildly underpowered and impossibly rare RV’s only to have it surrender to ze Germans at the first mountain pass.
Ah, but it’s not an adventure if everything goes as planed.
That’s the Crawford family travel motto. Well second only to “If we wanted to save money we would have stayed home”
Yeah, that toilet setup is…errr…very, public. There is no where to put your feet if the door is closed, so I guess its an open air potty. Safety first.
Under powered and ice cold air. Looks good for driving around Florida and maybe as far west along I-10 as Htown. Although there is a rather steep bridge in Lake Charles. Take the bypass, I guess.
