Shahn Torontow built the vehicle so his wife V.Ross Johnson, a pilot, wild life photographer and world traveller became wheelchair bound due to chronic Lyme disease. We were missing travel, so I embarked on building a 4WD motor home to take us to remote areas of Canada and United States for photography expeditions as a distraction from her debilitating illness, said Shahn. Ross has many side effects so the vehicle incorporates a number of special items; misting shower with seven nozzles, a sauna, auxiliary heat systems and heat gain/loss protective window shutters, CCD surveillance system, GPS with voice prompting, broad band satellite links for computer communications and last but not least an elevator. Named Draco after the star constellation and the mythical last dragon, the Oshkosh-based luxury bohemoth is for sale due to a down turn in Ross health and her inability to travel.
