The Cayo MOTOVATOR is a Class C Fully Contained Motorhome. Only 600 were made making them quite rare
especially in this condition. Available in 20- and 22-toot models, the Motovator featured an anodized
aluminum shell [sporting a 13-panel rear cap design so familiar to owners of mid-'50s Airstream trailers]
and metal framing which allowed the mini-motorhome to maintain its structural integrity. These units
were produced with a lifetime warranty from the factory.
Originally available on a Dodge one-ton chassis with a choice of a 360 cid or 318 cid Dodge, 350 CID
Chevy or 302 CiD Ford V-8 engine, the Cayo carried a dry weight of 8,245 pounds [20-foot model].
The spacious interior [6 feet, 8 inches, floor to ceiling and 7 feet, 7 inches wall-to-wall] was
fitted with most conveniences then available, including maple hardwoods, a dual-battery charging
system with 30-amp converter, 22,000 BTU forced-air gas heating system and sizable 5 cubic-foot
refrigerator. Options included an auxiliary gas tank, 2.5Kw AC generator, roof rack and ladder,
Therma San waste incinerator, water purifier and 10,000 BTU roof-mounted air conditioner
[which raised the height to nearly 10 feet]. The 52-inch cabover configuration offered sleeping
arrangements for four.
This is an ALL ORIGINAL and COMPLETE rig that is in excellent condition. The aluminum exterior skin is
in excellent condition. It has a dry weight of approx. 8,245 lbs according to factory specs.
