Maybe they had an Airstream and thought it was built out of an airplane?
Or maybe built LIKE an airplane?

Probably an ad taken over the phone. We had one in our local paper this week for a "Message Therapist". A few months back there was an ad for a sports car with a "Tonto Cover" and the best of all, a few years back was for "AKC Registered Datsun puppies".

I did see once on television about a guy that took the body of a 707 jet and made a motor home out of it. Was very nice.

Quite a few years ago one of the companies, maybe Winnebago had a press release about a small plane/camper. Could be that a few were built and one is for sale.

Are you sure that wasn't a boat? I remember seeing an airplane turned into a boat on TV last year.
