Down in Australia, I think. The guy had put a C47 fuselage on a truck chassis and made a camper out of it.

Maybe I am being thrown off by the paint scheme. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,682 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,682 | They probably had to chop out a section down the center and weld it back together to get it narrow enough for road use.

A 727 isn't all that wide to begin with, so it may well be a standard 727 fuselage. http://www.airliners.net/info/stats.main?id=90 shows the pallet capacity. Judging from that, and the fact the 727 shared the 707 fuselage cross-section, the overall width would be a road-legal 10-1/2'.
