Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
All really nice. Absolutely love the style of the appliances and furnishings. Personally, I'm looking for a travel trailer of a similar period as our trucks or a little before/after. Love that olive (you can't spell olive without love!)

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
One i snapped a shot of nearby. Similar to the white one in post #2. Question... Does this style raise up, or is this the permanant height?

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
That's a very interesting set-up. It has the top cut off,right?
Here's the ole '71 Custom Camper 20 Cheyenne/Huntsman combo we had for many years, I'm sure you all are familiar with: Edisto Island,SC ![]() Ocrakoke Island ferry ride from Hatteras,NC ![]() This was the north end of Kit Carson National Forest near Chama,NM, I believe ![]() Roadside New Mexico fixin' some breakfast ![]() I think the only view inside is on a video I have on VHS. It had cherry veneer paneling, salmon colored stove, sink, coolerator, original curtains had duck, deer, elk, etc hunters on them (last picture), and the cushion upholstery was kind of a burnt orange burlap type fabric. I had new covers made in a goldish brown similar fabric with saddle vinyl backs (zippers) and the curtains were plaid. I'd describe the plaid but I'm starting to sound like an interior decorator ![]()

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
Dig the "map-table" in post 32, I'd forgotten about those. My neighbor has a 71-72 c30 chassis mount camper I've been thinking about going over and talking to him about. It'd make a great flatbed if the camper is shot was my thought. And probably a factory bigblock

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
Hi There:
I am a new member from Canada and just wanted to share these pics with you fellow Camper Lovers. This is a 1967 Vanguard 9.5 which was built in Richmond BC. I have never seen any pop ups like this online, but have seen Vanguard over cab with similar stripe package and inside decor. I am sure this was designed to compete with the Alaskan from USA. The Vanguard model is raised with a cable system. I was fortunate enough to find this in the Maritime Provinces not far from home. This unit is in unbelievable condition for the year and needs in most part elbow grease and new curtains which I have done. ( Cushions are original and in new condition ). An $800 steal I think. Hope you enjoy and a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() PS:::Thank you all for your postings and pic of your campers .Sure do love the Retro for both craftsmanship and quality, |

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!

Here are a few pictures of the "Huntsman" that was on my '70 Chevy. I sold it to member "Dieselwrencher" for his 4x4 Longhorn. This has not been restored and the oven had never been used.... It was put on the truck when it was fairly new because the take-off tailgate I got with it was in really good shape. LockDoc

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
Sweet , Sweet, Sweet.. I love it, and I never get tired of looking at these beautiful units. Only wish we could meet the wonderful people that had these units and looked after them like they deserved to be. What interesting stories we would hear.
Many thanks for sharing. ![]() |

I never met the original owners but I talked to their son (who I bought the truck off of) and he told me that they took quite a few trips in it when he was a young man. In later years it was driven 60 miles to the state fair and parked there for a week, driven back home and put back in the shed until next year. LockDoc

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
Here's one for sale on the Phoenix Craigslist that I shared with jocko a few weeks ago. No interior pics though. The truck looks really nice. I keep thinking I should take a look at it, but I'm definitely not in the market.

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
Welcome PC'ian, really like your camper. Vanguard looks a little like an Alaskan to me - both are great styles.
Leon, that's a very nice camper - thanks for sharing. The wood, everything, looks like it's in incredible condition. |

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
These are some really good looking camping rigs. I would love to find something like these now that my boys are old enough to go camping.

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
I had a boot that fit in the window opening. I never had any water leak problems. Now those jalousie windows, they were another story. They were needing resealed or replaced with something else. I couldn't believe my '71 never had a sliding window. I put one in and removed the fixed window (made a frame to trim it). the Coast to Coast rv catalog also had inflatable rings for that area, as well as another made for between the top and camper to stabilized/cushion. I figure that would help keep a lot of water from forcing into the area between the cab and camper. Never did get one,though.
