Abstract
A two part motorhome that is connected when on the road can be separated into a motorized chassis and a living unit at other times. The motorized chassis can be used as an independent vehicle. The living unit utilizes four corner mounted jacks which are extended for separating the unit from the chassis. The jacks are retracted to allow the living unit to be leveled and to be lowered to nearly ground level for easy access. Means are provided for locking the chassis and living unit together. The chassis ignition circuit fails to operate if the unit is not properly locked. A system employing two lasers is an alignment aid for the driver in properly reconnecting the chassis and the living unit.
