The Spiker brothers from Indiana... One of them started a company called Arrow, the other named his Arro. There are still a few Arrows trailers and pickup coaches around, I don't think there ever were as many Arros that might be the only one left...

I do remember some confusion when I was a kid seeing a few coaches that said Arro without the 'w', one of our neighbors down the street had one, just don't remember any details anymore. They both disappeared when I was young, and they weren't giant manufacturers, just kind of 'mid west regional popular'... Pretty sure they made a little splash though, because Pace/Fleetwood picked up the name after the companies faded away... don't think there was any business exchange or relationship there.

its cool but the lack of interior pics combined with 'babe-slayer' on the bumper makes me think I'd have to douse it in disinfectant before doing anything else. :D

Babe Slayer, ha! That might attract women in Detroit, but in Alabama people would expect to see that on an episode of 20/20 for being literal. :lol:

classic RV though, would be great restored.

Well that is different. Cool thought. I can only imagine the gas mileage that gets since it has the aerodynamics of a brick

Thats pretty cool. Around here ive seen a VW bus that was converted into a motorhome. its about 12 ft long. And supposedly theres a VW bug that was converted, too and is about 9 ft long.

I am restoring a '72 Ford Arro. No doors on the cab and no w! Gold and white, just like this '67, but someone added red. F250 with a 390 automatic. This '67 is the only other one I have ever seen or heard of. Anybody else seen one or have documentation? I have a sales brochure that I can scan and post if there is interest.
