### Introduction

Meet MoHo, the legendary GMC motor home that’s been transformed into a speed demon. With a 700-horsepower Ram Jet 502 engine and nitrous boost, this Class A motor home is capable of reaching speeds of over 122 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats. But is it still a motor home?

### The Transformation

Before its transformation, MoHo was a classic 1970s GMC motor home, known for its innovative design and spacious interior. However, the team behind the project decided to hollow out the interior, replacing the kitchenette, bunks, and dining table with aluminum panels and a roll cage. This was done to reduce weight and enhance safety, but it also left MoHo without any of its original amenities.

### The Engine and Boost System

The Ram Jet 502 engine is a beast, producing 700 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque. But it’s not just the engine that makes MoHo fast – the team also installed a nitrous boost system, which gives the motor home an extra kick of power. With a top gear ratio designed to maximize speed, MoHo can reach incredible velocities on the Bonneville Salt Flats.

### Is it Still a Motor Home?

While MoHo has lost its original amenities, it’s still a motor home at heart. The question is, can an empty shell in the shape of a motor home still qualify as one? Arguably, the answer is no. MoHo needs to provide sleeping quarters, a cooking space, and comprehensive seating to be considered a true motor home.

### Conclusion

MoHo is a testament to the ingenuity of automotive enthusiasts and the power of innovation. While it may not be a traditional motor home, it’s a speed demon that’s sure to turn heads. Whether or not it qualifies as a motor home is debatable, but one thing’s for sure – MoHo is a force to be reckoned with.
