Meet This Musician's Custom Winnebago LeSharo

The life of a professional musician isn’t all glamor and glitz.

It’s a lot of traveling, late nights, and just plain old-fashioned hard work.

Meet Lyle Rickards, a bluegrass musician who travels the country playing festivals and gatherings for a living.

His pad of choice: a 1984 Winnebago LeSharo

But this is no stock LeSharo. Lyle has lovingly restored and renovated this uncommonly found motorhome to his tastes.

Here’s a partial list of things he added:

moon hub caps
orange peal paint
custom shirts
fuel injectors
turbo
coils
on demand hot water

DoItYourselfRV interviewed Lyle about his motorhome and here’s what he had to say,

The basic design is based on a 1984 Winnebago LeSharo TD. It’s got mango orange peal paint, and custom shirts fabricated from a 1932 Ford.

The front face is from a Ford Mustang.

I’m in her right now, at a fest in Kempton, PA at aWiFi hotspot – on stage in about an hour!

I gave up my apartment that I shared with my father who I was taking care of for a few years. He passed last May and so I decided to try music again full time.

I found the LeSharo in Nevada and had it shipped to Ohio for paint and custom body work. I wanted something that would stand out, so I decided on the mango orange with peal – sort of a hot rod look.

Added the skirts and moon hubcaps. Took the motor out and added fuel injectors, a turbo, and coils. Inside is mostly stock Winnebago, although I did take out the middle seats for more floor space.
