Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated!
Pump training for a couple of our guys, in what appears to be the return to winter. 75deg.F two days ago, 25 this morning. The sun has since come out and has warmed to the mid 30s, and melted all the new snow!
I spotted this super malaise Motor Coach in town.
The owner is a security guard and uses this as their living quarters when on duty.
What a thing of great beauty!
"The FMC Motorhome has an interesting lineage, FMC is the acronym for Food Machinery Corporation. FMC got its started in 1883 when inventor John Bean developed an innovative insecticide pump. The name was changed from the John Bean Manufacturing Company to the Food Machinery Corporation in 1928 when the company got into the canning machinery business. The company kept adding mechanized products and eventually started producing amphibious vehicles for the military.
During a lull in its military vehicle contracts in the late 1960s, FMC turned its sights towards recreational vehicles. By 1972, FMC had transferred personnel from its ordnance division and formally launched a motor coach division in Santa Clara, California. Initial prototypes were 19 and 23 feet long, but neither went into production. FMC settled on a 29 foot size, and the first one was completed in late 1972.
FMC coaches were manufactured from 1973-1976.
The 1973 energy crisis put a damper on the manufacture of all brands of motorhomes, so FMC was in a difficult position from the beginning. By 1975, FMC had a contract to produce the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and in September 1976 converted all tooling in its factory to the manufacture of tanks. The FMC motor coach had reached a dead end. The final tally for the FMC was slightly more than 1,000 units, approximately 135 of which were transit buses."

The Federal Mogul site was certainly a first for me... whilst I've been do one or two derelict places, I've never actually... circumvented a fence knowingly breaking the law. It's been downhill ever since.
Again, I am in no way an urbexer. I am an anxious scaredy cat who gets scared by small noises.
This rather worse-for-wear clock was just standing forlorn on a table. 'Kinda sums up the whole place really; just existing, all bent and broken. Depressing.
Another iconic motorhome of the 1970s: this model, built by FMC, originally Food Machinery Corp., which later evolved into a defense contractor. Somewhere along the line, they also built these motorhomes, made famous by Charles Kurault who drove around the country in one on his series On the Road. Apparently several other celebrities have also owned these FMC motorhomes.
