I lived in a 42 ft. Spartan Imperial Mansion built in 1948 with 400sq ft. Found it on Craigslist for $2300. I had it refurbished inside. What an amazing camper.
Everyone has their own "Dream" vehicle. Ever since I sat in my friend's 1986 westfalia on a day of sleet and rain, I fell in love with this home on wheels. As everyone were walking around the festival, we were warm and dry inside enjoying some hot tea and still warm rice bread with home made jam. So you can see why, still today, it's my "Dream" vehicle.

I am surprised that you did not include the Bluebird Wanderlodge in this video. I own the first of 10 prototypes built in 1964. The first production model happened mid 1965. I have repaired, replaced, and restored mine, and now live in it full-time. It is the perfect apartment on wheels. I have set in Alabama for the past three years, and due to weather, I am now having to pay attention to the exterior once again. I have photos if you are interested in adding it to a future video. Thanks, Freddie
I bet ya I include on the next classic camper video. I just hope there is media out there with interior images too. That's the challange making these classic or vintage anything videos. The pictures are usually very hard to come by. I have spent hrs/days just trying to find interiors on several of these campers. A lot of good ones I didn't include for that reason. Thanlks for the suggestion though, I appreciate that.
What a great show of creativity! Thanks for showing! 22:07 Btw, 'Spaceballs' RULEZ! Never sawn it in original language, but even loved the german syncro ...
Holloway Debraal INC built a Jeep Comanche Motorhome, 1987 only 5 were made and only 3 are know to exist. I have 1 with only 83k miles on it. Going to freshen it up, undo some previous retrofits, add some 21st century upgrades, make it solar friendly, and hit the road or the off road (Its a Jeep and yes a 4x4). Who knows I might get lucky and find a 4 legged friend to ride along.
I really enjoyed this. Last summer I was at Lakeside Park in the New York by Lake Ontario and they had an Airstream show and I saw one of those really little ones it was park right by me. My camping consist of electric bike trailer tent and stuff you need and stuff you don't need
Did you ever freshen up that Jeep Comanche? If so did you take it off road? My late husband and I had several different RVs during our 40+ years together and also dreamed about a 4X4 but never managed it.
I went on my first camping trip when I was five years old in a then brand new 1964 Airstream Overlander Land Yacht International travel trailer that was owned by friends of my family. I would never have dreamed at the time, but that trailer would one day become mine as unbeknownst to me, I purchased it from its second owners in 1995. I have owned that trailer for over 27 years now, and will likely keep it as long as I am able to trave. Over the years, I have had some minor restoration completed, but it still is mostly very well preserved original as is my 1978 Argosy Minuet 6.0 Metre that I purchased from its original owner in 2002. During the interim, I camped with my parents in a 1969 Sunway 8.5-foot cabover truck camper mounted on a 1969 Chevrolet C-20 Pickup and my aunt in a 1970 Volkswagen Westfalia Campmobile, My Airstream and Argosy are definitely my favorites for their versatility when traveling.
I`m still the proud owner of 20 ft 1972 Explorer with dodge running gear 413 ci bluprinted engine 727 transmission. It passes everything on a hill. Beautiful layout. Only downside was plywood sides covered in vinyl, lots of exterior maintenance. This article reminds me of a friend that used to own a Cortez 24 ft with a 225 slant 6, what hoot!
Those GMC motorhomes were the real deal. They were front-wheel drive, so the deck height was very low. You didn't have to climb steep stairs to get inside. The plumbing was copper tubing, so it never broke. The build quality was awesome. They are still highly sought after today.
I had two, but had to sell one to afford moving the other. Currently renovating the one I have. Can't believe I have such an awesome and iconic vehicle. When I'm done, it will be an artistic masterpiece. Don't rush me, but if you want to support me, I won't be rude ... Unless you are. lol 😂
I own a 1972 boler American camper trailer that was extensivly customized in 2018. It was taken to the 2018 boler ralley in Winnepeg, BC in Canada where over 450 bolers were on display not too far from the original factory.
There is a Japanese camper you have shown, in which the roof opens up to create a second floor that really impresses me. The whole thing is mounted on a small truck, and was built by three students. who lived in it while travelling around Japan, for two years. A really clever piece of design.
You can see many elements in these campers that are found in the current trend of off road and all terrain campers. Bat wing'ish awning just after the intro for example. The emphasis on low weight and limited footprint. Ruggedized suspensions and canvas pop-ups. Good video, thanks.
This brought good memories back in my childhood I love to see more of it but it’s getting late so thank you for sharing this on here you just made my night I’m watching from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
I would love to have a Westmoreland or Gyspy camper! Always been my dream, my husband and I are planning to travel in the next few years hopefully. I'm currently going thru cancer treatments and that's our dreams 💕.
I found and traded a very complete Shasta camper for a bag of homegrown electric lettuce that was used as a drinking shack on a old farm in Medicine hat. It has the canned ham shape with Thor helmet wings as i like to call them. I will be restoring it in the near future after i finish restoring my 440 Cuda. I plan on pulling it behind my restored 1965 Impala big block.
@@tabp8448 No it was just one OZ. of home grown before it was legal to grow it so figure maybe 200.00 Canadian. It was just an abandoned summer night drinking/smoking shack to her. Tires were old but still held air so i hooked it up and brought it home. Still own it and still holding air.
Just amazing! I live in SC and at 72 years have never seen any of these! Except the airstream one . And the VW Bus . 0scar Myers hot dog one , Just had a great time watching this!
What an excellent program! Thank you for sharing all of these amazing and wonderful campers/mobile homes. Mostly, I really enjoyed your occasional snide remarks. 😜
7:12 I truly would love to own one these but I doubt if it is even available in my country and importing anything into my country is ridiculously expensive. I've been looking at these campers for years now. We have two vintage caravans my husband and I am working on at the moment, one will become my sewing/craft room and the other for camping. The deco liner is absolutely awesome, what a statement! Oh and the HHG model X, those windows are one of a kind, like some wonderful beach house. I just think it's stunning.
None of these vehicles/trailers, were built for tall people where the average human height was 4'10"! Even the cars were not designed for anyone that had a tall torso when seated!
They had to consider how tall they could go up so they could accommodate going under a 14 ft or shorter bridge some bridges only have a height of 12 ft excess for going under it!
Somewhat unimportant, but interesting to me. the Rectrans Discoverer, from the same designer as the '63 Stingray, used a Chrysler 413 engine. Anyone familiar with the Beach Boys might remember the song Shut Down which was about a Stingray drag racing a 413. The Discoverer has a bit of both!
I have an old Scamp that needs a lot of love, but I may want to sell it. It is a great candidate for restoration, but would it be worth the time and expense? Fantastic video my friend!
I was a little disappointed that you didn't have anything on the GEM TRAVEL TRAILER COMPANY out of Kentwood Michigan a subberb of Grand Rapids Mi, Herman Shebout started the COMPANY with a small trailer called "Little Gem" I don't know the EST. year, Herman was a man you'd of thought he had a fire behind him,and I believe that's probably what caused his death when he was clearing a woods for a employee parking lot with a cage less bulldozer when a tree hit him and killed him in 1972. I only worked there the last two years of his life, I started out as the Yardman placing trailers according to size or too be sold first, I also learned the art of stick welding(which started my career in metal fabrication for the next forty yrs.)I figured Herman liked my work because of the nickel raise he gave me every wk. I left shortly after Herman died when a daughter took over the business and shortly went out of business after that, but I know for the many years he built his business with great pride, and he treated his employees very well as I was told and seen. 💯🇺🇸
I use a 84, 22' Winnebago powered by a 454 Chevy engine, as I make my retirement years into nomad living. It was in relatively good shape with only 51,000 miles, having just two previous owners who obviously took really good care of it, as I do. I'm looking forward to repair/replace the hot water heater and get to using the shower that has an accordion style door and disappears into a wall section. Lol. To end, I say that I much enjoy your videos. Peace out
I was lucky enough to stumble upon Peacemaker in Brunswick maine as a kid just by chance! Wild! Seen a BMW Vixen too at my grandpas annual house party!!
The picture shown for the 1992 Revcon trailblazer is definitely not a 1992 model or 1994 model. Great looking trucks but different F-generation body styles
I have a 1973 Safari....I haven't seen too many of them. I have to rebuild the roof unfortunately this spring 😑...but I'm super excited to see how she turns out! She's 13 ft long hitch to bumper with the door in the rear, kinda cool 😎!

Loved the program. Brought back memories of cars and campers I've restored over the years. In 1989 I bought an "Amigo" motorhome. I think it was a 1971 model. Ugly as hell, built on a Dodge drivetrain which was solid and dependable, but bottom line, one ugly motorhome! Of course, I loved it. The beauty of the camper was its simplicity in up keep and repair. Could pretty much do it all myself. I sold the Amigo 30 years ago. Miss it every now and then. I've looked online many timers to try and find one but no luck. I can't even find sources that the Amigo camper even existed! Can you help me ? Was there such a thing as the Amigo motorhome? Thanks a lot, Rod
Hello Roderick Hyde, thank you for watching! www.ebay.com/itm/143863967766 Here is a print ad that is for sale. Not much info on that motorhome though that I could find. Most post are real old.

Aghhh the good ol days!!!! Back when one adult had to work and was more than enough for toys, food , etc…..
Today's Camper Trailers, and Motorhomes sure started from humble beginnings
These all show such creativity and style. It's a stark contrast to the crap being made today for premium prices.

That was at the Black Rock Desert at Burneyman the thing the had steps over the top!😂😂😂😂

Hello oberon85937, thank you for watching!
I was doing a humvee camper but there's just not enough space. I'd really like to do something like this
The Deco Liner is the best hands down in terms of design and continuity.
Very informative video. Thank you very much. Great piece of work.
Hello burak omer saracoglu, thank you for watching!
Loved the program. Brought back memories of cars and campers I've restored over the years. In 1989 I bought an "Amigo" motorhome. I think it was a 1971 model. Ugly as hell, built on a Dodge drivetrain which was solid and dependable, but bottom line, one ugly motorhome! Of course, I loved it. The beauty of the camper was its simplicity in up keep and repair. Could pretty much do it all myself. I sold the Amigo 30 years ago. Miss it every now and then. I've looked online many timers to try and find one but no luck. I can't even find sources that the Amigo camper even existed! Can you help me ? Was there such a thing as the Amigo motorhome?
Thanks a lot,
Rod
Hello Roderick Hyde, thank you for watching! www.ebay.com/itm/143863967766 Here is a print ad that is for sale. Not much info on that motorhome though that I could find. Most post are real old.
