While A 122 MPH RV Is Impressive, When Does A Motor Home Stop Being A Motor Home?

Key Points:
- The "MoHo" is a late 1970s GMC motor home transformed into a high-speed vehicle with a Ram Jet 502 engine and nitrous, capable of reaching 122 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats, breaking previous land speed records for recreational vehicles.
- To achieve these speeds, the MoHo's interior was stripped of typical motor home amenities such as a kitchenette, bunks, and dining areas, replaced instead with aluminum panels and a roll cage to reduce weight and enhance safety.
- Despite its speed, MoHo no longer qualifies as a true motor home since it lacks essential features like sleeping quarters and cooking spaces, which are fundamental to Class A motor homes and other RV types.
- The transformation challenges the traditional spirit and purpose
