That is really cool! But I bet it was lucky to make it to 15 mph what with all that weight!

Good photos of the custom build too. Note the photos of the engine compartment, the plug wires are a bit aged now 
And only high head bolts were found during restoration, as they have spacers to be used on that low cylinder head!

That is a neat camper!
