Deep in Elkhart, Indiana, US, sits a rare Cadillac Eldorado motorhome inside the RV hall of fame – and it was built by a Boeing engineer.
Nicknamed ‘Star Street’ only two were ever made, and they’re now valued at $20,000.
This is the second one, built in 1988, using a 1974 Eldorado chassis and a 455 cubic-inch Oldsmobile Toronado engine.
The eccentric Boeing influence isn’t hard to see with a large front panel that enables engine access, dual windshields, and three Cadillac badges.

Built by Boeing engineer
RV enthusiast and content creator, Andrew Steele, states that ‘being in the RV industry, I come across all kinds of cool RV related stuff that I would like to share with the world’ and this tour is just the latest example.
According to the seller in Auburn, Washington, this Cadillac RV was the creation of a Boeing engineer.
It was donated to the RV Hall of Fame by the Paul and Maureen Jones family.
The motorhome was designed to fit in a residential garage atop a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado.
It measures 270 inches in length, 83 inches in height, and weighs 5,400 pounds.
Despite its Boeing influence, the Cadillac still shines through.
The Cadillac Eldorado RV
The RV features classic Cadillac styling, including tail lights that extend down the back.
The front-wheel drive with power comes from a massive 500 cu. in. (or 8.2-liters) V8.
That allows the floor to be flat minus the usual transmission or driveshaft tunnel.
Inside, the motorhome you’ll discover Cadillac-style seating, an emblem on the dash, and a classic 70s-style dashboard with a compass and CB radio.
The classic floor plan is simple, with a galley kitchen on both sides, a space-saving Dometic stovetop, and a rear seating area that conveniently and effortlessly converts into a sleeper.
While the driver’s seat and front passenger seat are elevated the rest of the compartment is lower meaning Andrew finds it hard to stand up making it impractical for some but great for low-rider shows.
