A content creator shared the exciting moment she glimpsed inside Elvis Presley’s former private jet, which has been turned into a motorhome.
After following the project on YouTube, crowds gathered at the 2024 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in Wisconsin, US, for the RV’s ‘grand unveiling’.
It looks like Jimmy’s hard work was worth it.

Inside Elvis Presley’s RV
For the cost of $10, YouTuber, AirFlo was welcomed aboard the unique motorhome.
The former cockpit, now cabin, is decked out with Elvis Presley memorabilia for the event.
‘I love it,’ says one guest who’s both a Jimmy and Elvis fan when asked for his thoughts.
The formerly threadbare seats look plush with the cabin restored to the state it was in when the King of Rock and Roll last graced it.
The motorhome project
“This project took a year and a half from the time I bought it to what you see today,” explains James ‘Jimmy’ Webb from Jimmy’s World, who captained the huge project.
Elvis Presley’s former jet cost him $234,000 – despite him realizing that it would never fly again.
The jet/RV is also already road-ready, and you can drive it from the cockpit, which looks pretty much the same as it did before it was converted into an RV because Jimmy didn’t want to change too much of the original aircraft.
Jimmy only added a new transmission, right below the yoke on the left-hand side of the cockpit, and a new ‘camera system’ to keep track of what’s going on in the blind spots, of which there are certainly many.
“I didn’t want to mess it up or cut it, I wanted to keep it exactly the same as it was,” Webb exclusively told Supercar Blondie.
What’s next for Jimmy’s World?
“My next project is sleep – that’s that’s pretty much it really,” Jimmy quipped to the YouTuber.
“I have no idea. I was so focused on getting this done [so] now I can focus on all the five or six other projects that we have and get those done, and then I’m sure we’ll come up with some other project that we find laying around and do something interesting and fun with that.”
Aside from taking the RV to another show in Las Vegas later this month, he’s also considering a tour across the US.
