Dale's Recreational Vehicle is a 1973 D-27C Winnebago Chieftain owned by Dale in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. The RV was used to travel to and from various locations. It was used to save and shelter people, store and carry supplies, killing zombies and, on one occasion, a person.

Post-Apocalypse[]
The RV was seen in working condition between Issue 2 and Issue 47, whereas it was seen disabled between Issue 48 and Issue 49. The RV was first seen in the camp when Rick Grimes arrived. When Jim, Amy, and Shane perished and the rest of the party abandoned the camp with Dale's RV, they discovered another safe-haven, the Wiltshire Estates.
After realizing that the gated community wasn't safe, Donna was attacked by a zombie and was killed. Rick, Tyreese, Julie, and Chris jumped from a building onto the RV's roof, to which they drove away from the zombie-infested supposed "safe-haven."
Tyreese drove the RV when he, Glenn Rhee, Maggie Greene, Andrea, Michonne Hawthorne, and Axel went to the National Guard Station to scavenge for equipment and supplies.
As Dale's girlfriend, Andrea also drove the RV. As part of the final attack on the prison, she drove the RV back to The Prison, where she killed Gabe. One of the Woodbury soldiers was ordered to crash a car into the RV, which knocked Andrea off the roof and damaged the RV, smashing it slightly. Consequently, the RV was abandoned at the site, but Andrea was able to escape on foot.
