This is awesome! I remember watching a show when I was younger where a couple turned a small cargo plane into a flying RV and remember thinking it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen!
-
One of the coolest planes on YouTube. The RV setup looks pretty amazing too.
-
This brought to mind a night I spent in my 172 one stormy night at Osh circa 1984. My tent was worthless in the blowing rain and I retreated to the front left seat which was the only seat in the 172 that had any reasonable recline capability. A long night!
-
Awesome! Great job with the Sky RV conversion! Can't wait to see it at KOSH!
-
That is so awesome! I've camped in a 182 pilot seat that fully reclined and it was great. I still have a dream of converting a Cessna Caravan into a RV and travel around the US. Flying and camping there is not much better than that. Safe travels!
-
I like it... A pretty fast camper you got there!
-
I always thought (finances permitting) a surplus Navy S-3 would be an awesome RV plane. They have so much room!
-
Wonderful! I have a powerchair in which I went to Basel in Switzerland in December 2023 [from Cambridge, UK], as a Patient Fellow at the Motor Neuron Disease Association International Symposium. When on trains and in hotels, I sleep in that, with my trusty breathing machine [bipap or nippy], but it doesn't have the same kudos as a Queen Air RV!
-
i did that with my shrike, i fly it all over the place this time of year, and my 2015 bell 407 fly it to the back woods in canada and north washington, all setup incinerator toilet back seats are comfy, i was up in the back woods lasst week on a remote lake, stayed 3 days, the new new shower wipes also are great for camping,
-
You're not the first to think like this! I always wanted a PBY Catalina and converted it into an RV. But the thought of those 2 big radials sucking lots of gas! But damn it would be fun to have!
-
Pretty sweet. Great idea.
-
Love it! We aren’t heading to OSH this year but I can’t wait to see your video with your setup on the field.
-
Man this is awesome - always wanted to do this with my 340A!
-
Thats a pretty sweet Queen Air ride!
-
👍✅ Love it Kerry🤣👏
-
The last thing to be done is refrigerator for cold beer!
-
@kerry "I don't have a helicopter license, yet....." Are you coming over to 'The Dark Side'? 😂
-
well i don't know how to say this, but i think you revived the sky RV trend back from the death and i have nothing else but to thank you. And side note, spaceballs is my favorite mel brooks movie. I hope that when i get my recreational pilots license, i can do something like this, just i need to save enough money.
-
I would suggest a rain hood and screen door for the door that way it can remain open at night.
-
Another cool idea was a Helio Courier on floats with an outboard motor mounted on a transom and 2 chairs mounted on the floats. Just fly in fish from the plane and fly back to the base camp.
