Blazer Camper model ????

I was picking up some parts for my Georgie Boy motorhome when I spotted this picture on the wall. I asked the owner if I could pull it down to take a picture of it. I have seen the pop up style before but never this one. Anybody know what this was?

Re: Blazer Camper model ????

Never seen this one before. Just the one that goes in place of a normal top. Looks like this one goes over the stock top. Wonder if you had to drill holes to lock it in up front. Looks like it bolts into The tailgate somewhere in the rear.

Re: Blazer Camper model ????

I was wondering if the top was cut for access. May just sit on top. No clue just thought I would share. Damn picture stopped me in my tracks and sales guy thought I saw a ghost

I think it's cool that they call a blazer an suv. I thought that was a more modern term. Matt

Re: Blazer Camper model ????

Could or would the top support that much weight on top of it?

It doesn't look like the top is cut for it. More like using it as support for a bed. I've stood on top of Mine Before scouting Out The next trail. It does now some but held me. Looks like this Would Support Itself over the top and be the bedroom area.

I read on this forum somewhere they began making those popup campers again. Pricey but available

I don't think one would do much damage to your blazer I know mine weights 300 pounds.
