Eric, Nice pictures, thanks for taking the time. In comparing yours to mine (1982 33') I see alot of changes. The key, I have no idea, but would think it...
Well, got the Revcon home in one piece. Headers went on OK, now have a complete new exhaust system. I've got one issue I'm going to have to deal with, however,...
All this talk of 100 MPH Revcons got me thinking. (Which may or not be a good thing... LOL) Does anyone know if Revcon ever had a model of the Slantnose in a...

I've always liked the looks of the older Revcons, and after reading more about them I like them even more. I'm looking at buying a 74 that's 27' long. Not...
Eddie, I'm not sure about all the aerodynamics stuff, but as for tires, technically an R or S speed rating should be fine. Z rated tires are good for 149 MPH...
Eric, I live in Diamond Bar, we are practically neighbors!!! I have a 1972 Revcon 250D that I love to death. The coach is great and very reliable and a lot of...
I have severial things I want to do under the dash and would like to be able to get to the underside to work, has anyone taken the dash off? I have wiring...
Wow, right over the hill. There's another one I see parked on Leffingwell road in Sante Fe Springs. It's a flatnose in OK shape. I drove by it every day...
I've been trying to do some research on the 1987-1989 models, looks like this three year run is pretty much identical with a few modifications, some people...
Actually, my 16" tires are rated "R", 106 mph 3400 lbs per tire. As far as the Whaletail, I can vouch for the rear end getting loose at high speed. My rear...

I have no problem going 85+ in my '83, 33' on level and I have to hold her back going down hill! I just wish that I could get more than 45 going up our West...
I don't really have a problem with speed and would like to find out how fast the Revcon will go, but then I start thinking of the possibilty of finding out how...

ok...you stumped me!! What Gold Cup? what Miss Madison? tell me everything!! Did anyone catch the movie MADISON on the Dish last night? That is where I live,...
Eddie: Glad to see "belly pans" mentioned. The underneath of a car/RV is a large source of drag. Despite the blunt nose of the early Revcons, I suspect the...
Was watching a show about the Space Shuttle return to flight, and they had some footage of what looked an awful lot like a flatnose with a big old NASA symbol...
Randy, unlimited hydroplanes are/were unlimited race boats that were, well unlimited. Most used WW2 12 cylinder air craft engines, either Rolls or Allison, now...
NASA has always used Airstreams in the past. Could it have been a Silver Bullet Airstream? ... they had some footage of what looked an awful lot like a...
Steve-- Good observations, all... I think the Revcon was the only Coach ever made with a belly-pan...a pointer towards a test-in-a-wind-tunnel approach....
ED: you are right about the plywood example. But if you enlarge the plywood to maintain a true height of 8 feet (as slant noses do when compared to the flat...
Just a little update, I was reading over the 4-page glossy that's online for the 1987 year coaches. Turns out the mystery key switch that I posted pics of is...
Steve--- I know a bit about why Coachmaker Newmar went from a Slanted Nosed Coach to a Flat-nosed Coach. They went in the exact opposite direction of what...
Eric, I've no idea where you transmitter is located- that said- the only place to get a true reading is in the oil pan. I asked a local shop for a spare pan,...
ED: I agree about needing the down force and the it is a plus in turns. Unfortunately, my 71 is very near max load on the front (could not stuff enough lead...
