We have a new project! In the next few months, we'll be working on renovating a vintage 1968 Wheel Camper. We're new to owning a pop up camper, so we're learning as we go.

We camp in a 1969 Wheel Camper! My parents took excellent care of it, and passed it along to me when they got too old for camping. Such a treat to stumble on this beauty of yours. Ours is a slightly smaller model, I think.

How fun! We’re really looking forward to using it.

I see this is an old video so hopefully you'll see my comment. I have found a 1969 Lark Mai-Kai and the lift system is just like yours with the elbow like arms on the outside. Do you have a video of step by step how to lift it? I found a brochure for a '68 that said as you pull on the beds the roof lifts. I could really use some help as I'm coming up empty.

@BandVE Год назад

Hi, we don’t have a video on how to lift it, but we’ll be sure to post one that includes that. We’re currently working on it again, so that should be easy enough to include in our next camper video. I’ll try to remember to let you know when we have it up.

@@BandVE perfect! Thank you! I've been asking all over and the arms on yours are just so very similar. Again, the brochure I found said as you pull the beds out the roof raises. Considering manufacturing at the time, it's possible they all used the same lift in the same years, even if they're different companies. I hope so! Mine has been altered so I'm hoping to find some that has one.

@@tlneill Our system does not open by pulling the beds out. It takes two people, and we have to lift the rear first and then the front. The spring-loaded arms assist in lifting it. It's not extremely difficult, but it does take two people. Our beds are on a hinge and flip out of the side.

Thanks for sharing! We just got a 73 sportscraft and it needs work as well, I’ll be following for inspiration!

Oh how neat! It’s so hard to find anything on vintage pop-ups. I’m following you for inspiration, as well! Can’t wait to see how yours comes along! ☺️

How do you change the tire with the siding covering half of the wheel. I just bought a 1968 Palomino and cant even figure out how to break the bolts and take off the tire with the siding in the way

@caronhill5549 Год назад

Hi Do you know anything about replacing the springs in the fold up arms? What type of spring are they? Is it hard to do?

@BandVE Год назад

We haven’t had to replace ours. They’re still working well. They are a thicker steel spring than a garage door opener.

@menzobaird7095 Год назад

How much did you pay for the camper, My father in law has one in near perfect condition he needs to sell.

@tagladyify Год назад

I hope you will consider a restoration instead of a modern, cookie cutter type of remodel, painting everything white. It’s in pretty amazing shape for its age and it would be a shame to “modernize” it to look like all of the rest after surviving all of these years. For the cushions you could buy a foam type mattress and cut it to fit with an electric turkey carving knife.

@BandVE Год назад

I hope it won’t look too cookie cutter. Looks are definitely deceiving here, as it wasn’t in great shape. We had to replace a lot of rot. Our ultimate hope is to make it fit our needs, as we hope to use it often. 😊
