A video of custom made RVs of the 60s and 70s would be cool.

The Tri Level Sky Rider needs to be totally modernized and brought back. I've NEVER seen a truck camper with a patio on the roof. Very smart use of space.

@robinstewart6510 3 года назад

Weight, my friend. Too much weight up too high, decreasing stability. The result is a death trap.

@robgindc1 2 года назад

Agreed!

#3- Those pickup truck campers take me back. I’ll never forget my Dad coming home with a Del Rey cab over on a ‘66 3/4 ton Chevy. This was our graduation from tent camping, and we thought we were seriously uptown. A roof mounted AC three years later in ‘71 was the icing on the cake. Wish I had that package back.

@bphillips2082 5 лет назад

My parents bought a slightly used Kamp King camper, just a regular size, 8 ft. Back in the 60s. That was so well built, solid. We loved it and went everywhere in it. They used it for YEARS until they were too old to use it any longer then sold it with the truck. Hope the buyers enjoyed it. Lots of great memories in it.

@elainetreadwell5576 5 лет назад

I love the art deco look of #4-1941 Western Flyer Motorhome. The grill is spectacular. I could enjoy this for quite some time.

@claredegroff1491 5 лет назад

My dad cut the body from the windshield back off of a 61 impala & built a commerical looking motorhome on it. We traveled the us every summer. We (all 6 of us)actually ended up living in it for a year when we fell on hard times in Florida. The man could build anything. He built all his own boats. He even built a washing machine in the desert in India during WW2 out of a windmill, 55 gal drum, & the rear end axle & gearbox from military jeep.

@jerryhodges6918 5 лет назад

I have a 1973 Holiday Rambler Travel Trailer Camper. We love it. Fully self contained. With full bath. Sleeps 6. Minor restoration. Purchased it for 1500. Works great. It's my home. I thank God everyday for mine.

@jasperedwards3341 5 лет назад

the caravan that can drive was the best it just needs a special cover for the head lights then no one will steal it no tow hitch

@CyberCurtainTwitcher 5 лет назад

Number one brought some memories flooding back. Had loads of fun touring in our Starcraft, and coincidentally, i just came across a photo of 6 of us in convoy. How time flies!

@josephnazarian2144 5 лет назад

Most definitely #9 should be on the top of the list as #1. That camper is a true definition of a groovy camper motorhome.

A Dodge 1976 Mobile Travler 17ft bought for $5k in Austin TX fully contained a/c, heating, etc. Was in the back row trade ins (skid row) tuned it up + oil change kit, and did a fantastic trip Rockies, Alaska, Valdez, Dawson, Artic Circle, Deluth, back to Ilpaso. 308 engine never missed a beat.

@storywilliam7686 4 года назад

@julienielsen3746 5 лет назад

My parents had a GMC motorhome in the 70s when they had the orange , green, etc. 70s colors. Ours was cream tan and brown though. We went on the first trip to Arizona in it. We were on our way back to our home in Oregon and after we got part way into Oregon it conked out. They looked it over later and found out that someone at the factory had put some sawdust in the gas tank, probably in protest of the gas shortage going on at the time. GMC only gave dad part of the money back on it, and gave him a GMC pickup for some of it. Dad didn't like GMC pickups. He always had Fords. After that dad bought a Revcon, which was pretty good.

@Rafael6307 5 лет назад

Julie mis padres tambien tuvieron un GMC 76' por muchos años... Modelo Kingsley crema con el interior naranja. Que recuerde la unica vez que se accidento fue en los Andes cuando se rompió una de las mangueras del radiador de la caja de dirección. Fue el mejor de los motorhome que mi padre tuvo. 🚌 Saludos --- 🖖 Julie my parents also had a GMC 76 'for many years ... Kingsley cream model with orange interior. To remember the only time it was accidental was in the Andes when one of the radiator hoses of the steering box was broken. It was the best motorhome that my father had. 🚌 Regards --- 🖖

@lindataylor2131 5 лет назад

We had a Winnebago Chieftain. 27 feet long, the dual beds in the back, bathroom mid coach, a small kitchen, a dinette and a bunk that lowered over the drivers area. We went all over the U.S. in that during the 70's and 80's. A leak in the roof, and axle problems spelled the end to the Winne for us.

@georges2842 3 года назад

If you guys ever make another of these lists, look into Alaskan truck campers, they're a brand based in Washington that makes four-season, hard side pop-up truck campers. They're crazy, and still in production. I would really like to get one for my truck.

@nigelcharlton-wright1747 5 лет назад

The amazing looking Rover P5B camper van that was built in 1971 and was for sale in July 2018 in the UK. It was fully restored by it's present owner with all mod-cons.

@richardolexsak96 4 года назад

I remember the 3 level truck camper when it came out. Saw one on the road about a month ago. UNIQUE PLUS!!!!!!

@Desertfox92308 5 лет назад

Definitely should include the early 70's GMC built motorhomes with Olds 455 V8 engine, front wheel drive, and trippy 70's interiors!

@mattkaustickomments 5 лет назад

Norm K. I agree. I think it’s the most beautiful complete-from-scratch factory Motorhome ever.

@DE1049 5 лет назад

Here in our county there is a GMC sitting in the backyard of the man who used to repair sewing machines. It is just mildewing away. Sad but I don't have the resources to do anything even if it was for sale.

IF YOU HAVEN;T WATCHED THIS VIDEO TAKE A LOOK. THESE CAMPERS ARE REALLY WORTH CHECKING OUT! I LOVE THEM! SO CLASSY!

@indigodragon7129 5 лет назад

You know a truck camper A frame hybrid would be a neat new camper for the market. the bottom area having the kitchen and breakfast nook and a rest room with a fantastic fan. With a walk in shower you fold up and a cartridge toilet not a wet bath with a fantastic fan with a queen bed in the top half of the camper. Really neat truck camper for sure. The breakfast nook can be made into a bed for the grand kid's. Azdel and air alloy aluminum frame work would make the camper very light weight. Could even place a hand pulled pull out on each side has well. Change truck campers forever! 😊😉

@benlitfin2275 5 лет назад

All of these (except maybe the Winnie) are RAD! I love the Winnebago though, for sentimental reasons.

@blackiewhitefence9083 5 лет назад

I used to have a Western Flyer bike as a kid that would match up well with that RV.

I remember when I was young, someone in the neighborhood bought a Jeep CJ that had a camper mounted on the top, from the factory. It looked absurdly dangerous, and obviously I wanted one.

@larrywhalen127 4 года назад

Figure the Center of Gravity to be somewhere around two feet higher than the roof line and even a moderate turn at anything above 35 mph could be more fun than one could handle.

I was waiting for the 1973-1978 GMC Motor Home, the only Motor home built by a major car company in the U.S.A. (GM,Ford, Chrysler) she is front wheel drive, 455 Oldsmobile, and with almost 13,000 built, there are about 7,000 to 8,000 still on the road, with a shop dedicated to the GMC Motor home in all 48 state's.

@vetechgrl2000 3 года назад

@_JellyDonut_ 5 лет назад

I had no idea there was an RV hall of fame

@imhappyandyou.4003 5 лет назад

I know right. I visited the museum and they have campers that history forgot about. They have one that was built in 1928 by Ford for an actress and was one of the first RVs ever built. If you ever get a chance to go I would highly recommend it. Very cool history in that building and they have tons of them from all era's.

@snoopu2601 5 лет назад

It's hard to choose from all of them the most fancy one was the one that was on eBay auction I liked how the window wrapped around.

Oh, I want a camper so bad. I don’t have much money, but I’m going to really pray god God to give me the wisdom to maybe make one? Well, get my husband to make one..... Great video.

@SilveredRaven 5 лет назад

I feel like #2 could easily be brought back today and be sell them by the thousands. Probably be relatively cheap to produce them, not to mention it's size is perfect for most people who just want to travel, and camp, but without too much luggage, or a huge vehicle.

I saw that It was awesome you could turn VW 360 degrees uner the trailor so you could back the trailor in by driving fowards

@mopar_dude9227 5 лет назад

GEOFF ok there was a company that also made a fifth wheel trailer for early Suburbans. It was very much like the one for the VW and attached to the middle if the roof. It was so easy to turn it around and park it in a space. Surprised someone has t come up with one for the new Suburban ps or other SUVs

@eugenebarlaz8385 2 года назад

I really like the 1970 Olds version and also laugh that some of these get better mileage then my SUV
