David - I finally got it all figured out. I found a bunch of references on the web. I spelled it all out in my blog. The Aristocrat Miniliners were not made by Irv Perch. The Aristocrat company was sold to Boise Cascade in 1969. Irv Perch went on to build the line of American Clipper motorhomes which are much more well-known. Mystery solved.

I have one!

I just got it. and have just started fixing it up. I was shocked when i first saw it because its soooooo awesome. I have a 28 footer that I live in 75% of the time and I swear this little 18 footer will have as much or more functional living space when its ready to live in. I will post some pics soon. I just lost my camera so I’m slumming it with my cel phone camera atm.

Just to be clear I have a 18' 1972 Aristocrat / MINILINER
(not a truck bed thing)

Mine is a ford econoliner which is odd because i would think RV's would all be made on the same base vehicle. I have done a bit of research and believe this was a failed or abandoned line and just a few prototypes were ever made. I have some information to support that theory but no facts. Either way this is without a doubt the coolest RV I’ve ever seen.

Scott you and I are now members of a very small club! I am looking forward to comparing notes etc.
