I think it would be difficult if not nearly impossible to actually make it look like a Winnebago, so...



Should I just buy a winnebago and chop it up, then reassemble it around the UPS?

i think that would be really cool. but its your mod and if you think it is going to be that hard go with choping one up. and then you would have your windows and all.

If you chop the winny and fit the UPS in there, a fab some wings for the Spaceballs look, it could turn out really, really cool.
Don't forget the "I heart Uranus" bumpersticker.

I think Wally World has the DVD in their stores for $7.50 then you never have to rent it again. It's one of my favorite Mel Brooks films

Alrighty let's get started. I gutted the Winnebago.





I opened the top.



And dropped in the UPS. It's a perfect fit as far as length and width, but height.....



When I measured it before I assumed that the height of the winnebago was the same on the inside as the outside. But I never really considered the bottom.



The inside is just 17cm



The UPS is 22cm



And the outside of the winnebago is 22cm....



I could fabricate some kind of shell with the wings attached that could go on top to cover the top of the winnebago. Or pull out the bottom and set it lower. What to do?

I rented the movie too.
