That 1968 Travel Queen was so cool! An incredible amount of work must’ve gone into that project. The Kingstar Camino 88 has to be one of the most innovative designs I’ve seen in a long time. Very cool!
Love the Kingstrar, made very strong, the bath was amazing, they thought of everything, and the stainless steel roof ,and the construction of the camper is very strong, stainless steel tanks ,and the brackets for the electric jacks are the strongest I've seen,
Back in the day we use to call the "Travel Queen" the Dairy Queen. My first truck camper was 8ft but only partially cabover. No bathroom, ice box, no heater, pretty basic; 2nd one the wife saw the bath room (porta potty only, no shower. The ones that did would pick up a smell that wasn't very pleasant) and it was a dun deal. No gray tank & no black tank. Catalytic heater, ice box (refer's were not too dependable then) It was a 9.5 ft with a queen sized cabover bed. Pretty basic, but that's how they were in the early 70's. We thought we were flying 1st class though.
Those Kingstar campers are awesome, I've been eyeballing them at the Quartszite Camper Rally the last couple years, very nice! Definitely my top choice when I move on from my Host!
The Kingstar looks more like a small condo on the inside than it does a truck camper, and the outside looks clean and sporty! All of that stainless steel makes it look rugged and durable too!
It was a pleasure meeting you both at the rally! I enjoyed telling you about my Travel Queen project. Great video with so many cool campers! Keep up the great work!
Hey Dan, It was nice to meet you and thank you for letting us tour your Travel Queen. You did an amazing job on the restoration. Maybe we’ll see you again at another rally. Safe travels!
We enjoyed the camper tours and especially the Travel Queen. It was also nice to meet you and we enjoyed chatting - now when we watch your videos you are "real" to us. If you ever need to mooch-dock on your way north in the middle peninsula area of Virginia, we have space and are in the middle of the forest.
Hey Steve, It was nice to meet you both at the rally. We enjoyed chatting as well. We would love to come up that way someday. It’s pretty in Virginia. We may reach out if we do. Till next time safe travels!
Jordan Lake is 2 hr drive from the ocean, it is south of Raleigh, NC. That is a fresh water clam. Thanks for going thru the many campers. Great video. I am looking to buy a Host Cascade 10.5 or an Arctic Fox 1140 dry bath. Haven’t decided yet which one but do have the truck nailed down. Definitely getting a Ford F-550 chassis and put on a CM flat truck bed.
Wow! That Arctic Fox 1150 ...And thank you to all the owners for sharing your camper. They are amazing. Question: 2023 F350 dually SuperCab XL w/4wd, 4:30 rear and the Godzilla 7.3 gasser be the ticket for safely hauling that camper or should I drop down to a Reg Cab and pick up more payload ?
Thank you for taking time to do these videos. I recently lost my 26dbh forest River grey wolf and been checking out other options to keep travelling. I have a 10 to daughter that will end up with me soon as well so looking at 2 person options is the trick. But I have enjoyed all the options you shared on these two videos. I wrote most of them down so I can compare them later. Happy traveling y'all. Matt
You guys should check out an Arctic Fox 865! They are awesome campers with the floor plan having the rear dinette, Center bath, and 180 degree windows at the back! They also have cathedral ceilings, and are the only arctic fox that is offered in a non slide variant!
I just worry like crazy about slide outs on truck campers and they maybe fine but I could not buy one unless trading every 3-5 years Northern Lites or Bigfoot’s only way I would go !!
The owner did an awesome job restoring the Travel Queen. Thank you for sharing your time at the truck camper rally.
Kingstar for the win! Awesome looking camper.
You are a lucky man.. Carla is beautiful. Also great video!

Thank you for making these awesome videos. Glad you met Dave. He’s the best! We’ve bought from him multiple times. ETHICAL RV dealer.

We bought the Kingstar that D&H had on their lot. Shakedown trip starts Monday.

I like the side storage on the king star !
Might add this to our list next Nov.
Thank. You
Nice looking rigs! Guessing many are overloaded.

I love truck campers. I would own or collect every one of them if I could. It's obvious you and Carla feel the same way.
Arctic Fox, and the Kingstar looked nice inside and out!
Thank you for taking us on the camper tours👍

I really like the couch option in the Arctic Fox camper . Love the Kingstar ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lots of DIFFERENT rigs, layouts seen at any rally .... A COOL way to get ideas that may fit YOU best .....

The AF 865 is one of the ones we're considering. Do you have one, because we have a couple of questions?
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving..🌈😇👍💕
Thanks Betty, hope you did as well!
