Hollywood, Campervan Drive Across America

During our most recent World travels we drove across America, from Los Angeles to New York City.
Well, I say we drove, but it was actually Mr.R who did the bulk of the driving.
Well, I say the bulk of the driving, but apart from about an hour where I drove, and that wasn't 60 minutes consecutively it was a few minutes spread out over a couple of days, it was Mr.R who did all of the driving. Poor thing.

For our road trip from Los Angeles to New York we hired a vehicle. A campervan so that we could sleep when and where we wanted, and in theory save money by not having to stay in hotels.
However, we didn't sleep in the campervan as much as we could have. There were many reasons for this including not being able to find anywhere suitable, or more often than not we just wanted a proper bed and more importantly a bathroom with lots of hot water so we could get clean and relax after a day spent driving.
The campervan we hired was from an Australian company based in Inglewood in Los Angeles.
This company is a campervan rental business with a difference, all of their vehicles are old vans with interiors that have been converted into a campervan, and the exteriors are all hand painted by local artists.
As you can see from the photo below, the van we hired is not a typical campervan.
This was photographed when we stopped off at the tiny church at Centre of Continental America, near Lebanon, Kansas.

This campervan is definitely one of the more unusual vans we've ever driven.
What's the most unusual vehicle you've ever driven?
