I really like that.... What a way to bring back part of an Old Vickers VC10 - Long time since I have even seen or even heard of one being around.

This looks like it was a pretty fun project. Now if you could obtain the nacelle for a Trent 1000.....

That Trent, or GEnx-1B, would probably be the biggest you could take on a highway. I was thinking a GE9X, but that would be too big.

The fan on the Trent is 9’ 4” so the nacelle would be to big to go on the highway with an oversized load permit.

Make that ‘without’ an oversized permit and not many campgrounds can handle a semi sized camper.

It would be a heck of a big campe, and forgot all about needing to be permitted, but that would be the biggest.
A Conway nacell looks rather small..a CF6 or PW4000 nacell would be just about right @ 2.79M

It would certainly be an Eye Catcher and the Talk of any Campground....

Take it to AirVenture Oshkosh 2021

That is the best idea yet.... They would probably let you use it on the Field and let you show it off.

For the right price... I am sure you could get one! Get the Bucks and anything is possible!

Not all Campers... Especially smaller ones do not have lavs... Guess you open the door and "Let'r Fly" - LOL!
