"Approximately 587 Vixen 21 motorhomes were produced by the Vixen Motor Company at One Silverdome Industrial Park in Pontiac, Michigan between 1986 - 1989 when the company closed.

Here's what one dedicated website had to say about the history of the Vixen motorhomes: Who would have guessed? - Photo courtesy Keith Powell It turns out, like many obscure motorhomes and RVs, there is quite a following when it comes to the Vixen Motorhome. I never did get the drivers attention, so literally, I had a fleeting glimpse of the Vixen 21 as it scurried along the streets and roads - I am not sure if they were lost or just looking for the local campground because the unit darted all over town. I still swear it could have been something straight out of Star Trek. It turns out that it was a Vixen 21 - 3,000 Supercharged motorhome.

It had that other-world look to it - a relic of a science fiction show? It was a model that I was completely unfamiliar with and it immediately grabbed my attention. Last week while traveling through the city, I spotted a very unique RV plying the streets of our fine town. You might call this a drive-by edition of the Vintage RV column.
