a 1955 Tempo Matador Motorhome was just pulled out of the Nevada desert and is on track to get freshened up for the Wasatch Classic VW show
Found on https://www.facebook.com/groups/1631935880418477/?ref=nf_target&fref=nf
similar to the one I ran across at the 2015 Orange County VW Classic http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-biggest-tempo-matador-ever-made-rv.html

the biggest Tempo Matador ever made, an RV by the Mikafa Coachbuilders (Karosserie Minden Karosseriefabrik)
Mikafa means: Mindener Karrosserie und Fahrzeugbau
the owner bought this 1959 coach built RV from the kids of a Hungarian Count and his wife (who was of Vanderbilt lineage) and they used it for two three month long tours through Europe with their two children. After that it was shipped to the US and remained in use until the 1970's when it was parked in the garage. and could afford this rare one of 50 or so coach built RVs.
This cost about the same as a Mercedes 300 SL gullwing
The owner has posted many photos of this RV on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.800797216678143.1073741844.345776942180175&type=3
someone else on the internet found a 1955: http://www.hotrost-team.de/index.php/oldtimer/1955er-tempo-matador-mikafa
These are a Tempo Matador chassis, which in Hamburg Harburg by the company. Vidal and son was made. The company MIKAFA (Minden Karrosseriefabriken) made on the basis of the pace diverse special designs for wealthier Scouting. To my knowledge, cost of these campers well above 55,000, - DM, which was more than had been spending 300 SL for Mercedes.
The frame is made of normal steel, only the outer skin of the vehicle is made of 1.2 mm thick duralumin , The Fa. Mikafa had made before the 2nd World War as an aircraft workshop with this lightweight, but very stable aluminum alloy good experience and then used in motorhomes, caravans and buses from 1948.

surprising things in the Jesada Technik Museum in Nakhonphathom, Thailand

Looks like a coal burning conversion, I've never seen one before, but I have seen a wood burning truck conversion for the cold climates of Russia
I believe the above is a Tempo Matadorand a good post about the Rokon is at http://www.thepetrolstop.com/2012/07/rokon-trail-breaker.html#more
Not sure if this is a Tempo Matador, but it looks like one that has had the hand made wooden door and bed treatment

See a couple of galleries of all the bikes, scooters, and cars at the Jesada on the http://6nicestpeople9.blogspot.com/ and a new post http://6nicestpeople9.blogspot.jp/2012/04/thai-report-part_20.html of the trains and more on the aircraft.

This is a cool little van thing, I don't remember if I've seen a name for it, but the bottle opener is a cool touch
Thanks to JohnDandy and Asterics for recognizing it as a Tempo Matador! I should have remembered it, but my memory is so bad, you are looking at it, if I need to recall something I look in this blog for it. Ain't that ridiculous?
