Navette
















If you saw a Navette would you know what it was? We have a Navette next to us! Funny thing we saw the people when they came in on February 21. Then we didn't see them again. They were suppose to leave on the 22nd. We figured they were probably dead. Finally, they showed up today in a cab. Guess the 21st Ruth the lady woke up with a sharp pain in her right arm. They called 911, they came in took her to the hospital, they didn't do sirens but had their lights flashing! We didn't hear anything! Anyway, according to Paul, Ruth's husband that she did have a clot go through but it went through the heart without any problems and they say that the clot ended up in the right arm. Anyway, she is OK. They bought this 94 Navette. There were only 16 built and he has one!


This is the story:

Built on an Isuzu chassis, with a diesel engine, the Navette is a streamlined design that was admired for its sleek looks and excellent fuel economy. (Don't ask how you check the tire pressures.) The Navette Motorhome was first produced in 1990 by Bob Smith. By 1995 he had produced and sold 16 vehicles, including one special ordered by Kellogg Cereal. Unfortunately he had to close the company at that time due to severe illness. Smith listed the company for sale a few years ago and it still may be available. It is all fiberglass and hand built.
