It's not a Keystone prototype

This summer when we were headed back from North Carolina, around the middle of West Virginia we stopped for the night. There was a hearse with a coffin trailer at the campground. They used the coffin to store their camping equipment and the tent connected the back of the hearse to the trailer which had an outdoor kitchen built into it. I didn't think to take any pictures of the setup at the campground, but about an hour out the next morning, this "contraption" passed us doing about 70. I couldn't resist a few pictures.

Since it's too cold to go outside, tonight is a "picture sorting" night and I wanted to share a very unique camping rig........

A bit fast for a funeral procession don't you think?

Yes, sure was faster than most. And come to think of it, there weren't a lot of cars with lights on following either......

Personally, I'm a little offended by what these people have done. Sorry, just me.

Hmmmmm I wonder if coffins come in RV Queen size??? And if the mattress is the same as Keystone uses, or if there's an automatic "upgrade" to a more comfortable style?????

LOL No, she didn't look like Abbey. Neither of them looked like Gomez or Morticia Adams either.... She was a blonde, rather tall, about 50 I'd say and they weren't a "sloppy looking" couple. They had a Basset Hound, so they kinda broke the mold, at least in pet stereotypes.....

It could be a test trip to see if they are ready for full timing in it. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing.

A RVing Funeral Director with a macabre sense of humor perhaps?

Atleast there enjoying camping. Imagine if they had someone in coffin hiding and sure people at campground come around to check it out be pretty funny they say check it out and someone laying in there. Sure it be a trip to shower house and change of undies.
