TheDrive.com often comes across various bizarre projects and one-offs that it graciously shares with its readers, and this has to be one of the stranger ones it has had in a while.
You know that little voice in your head that tells you to do the most unreasonable things at the worst times? It’s the one that I totally shouldn’t encourage, but I’m going to anyway because it sometimes leads to the most ridiculous automotive projects I’ve ever come across while browsing Facebook Marketplace.
Today, I present something that might earn a spot amongst your top 10 finds of all time: a Toyota Previa minivan mounted atop a motorhome chassis. Yep.

In 2020, owner Steve Both decided to enter this factory supercharged Toyota Previa All Trac in the Gambler 500 in its stock form. Sadly, an underestimated puddle resulted in the van’s engine becoming hydro-locked. He was eventually able to get the car running, but the damage was already done. He limped the van back to his campsite and eventually transported it home where it spent the next seven months being used as a parts bin for other Previas. Its next destination was the scrapyard, but before it was taken to its final resting place, Both’s friend sent him a Facebook Marketplace listing for a free 32-foot motorhome – this is when the lightbulb came on.
