Old Campers...Let's see what you got!

An early model Toyota Landcruiser with 27' Viscount Aluminium van:

 

This is not mine, found it on an in a small town in North Florida while out riding around, man working on it said it was a suburban frame with the cab mounted, done very well, nice camper. Spike

"And here's what happens when you get a couple car guys involved...

Bunkie Knudsen/Larry Shinoda"

Back in '83, my boss had one and it was a dandy, probably the BEST M/H ever put on wheels! Bullet-train looks, all F/G skin!!! And a 413 MOPAR engine to boot!

He bought it up around Southbend in the early '70's and if you google the M/H name, I bet that you will turn up the guy that bought it off him before he retired that I later contacted by e-mail and chatted with.

I really dig these old Aussie caravans. This last one, the Jennison, has a great style - more of an "aero" canned ham. And the Prophet is a hoot. Gary

Wouldnt mind finding that one, it must be out there somewhere...

 

Here's our 71 Chevy C/30 factory chassis mount Weekender. It has 46k original miles.

It's got dash air, Cheyenne bucket seat interior, tach & gauges, all original throughout except for the late wheels to get rid of the split rims.

Not as old as many on this thread, but you don't see em around as much anymore.
