That is the sweetness! I especially love those old travel decals.
She's in great shape too. I'd love to see the inside.
Why can't they make something like that today - only updated with an aluminum frame, foam/composite sides, and modern amenities? It would probably weigh in around 1,000lbs with a full kitchen and bath!

They do, kinda, .....starting at about $15,000! Check out the Sylvan Sport.

Well, that's certainly hi-tech, but... For $15k I would expect: A fresh water tank, hook-ups for city water, water pump, water heater, sink, stove, microwave, a/c, cassette toilet, shower, 3-way refrigerator/ freezer, king bed, dinette, sofa, battery, 12v/110v wiring/w converter/charger, propane tank, heater, full insulation, etc. You get my drift? Just like a $15,000 Aliner has.

Well, If this were the Cox Campmaster(the Caddy of the Cox Campers)it would have a lot of amenities. Mine is the Campsquire.. It is VERY spartan. BUT, I dont have to sleep on the ground. YIPPEE!!!
As for those stickers. This camper was owned by 3 previous families. Those sticker show every single place this camper has been since 1969. I will continue the tradition myself because I just think its the coolest thing ever.
I will get some inside pics up here in a little while.

The quicksilver reminds me of a Jumping jack. I hunted out of one last year, it does not have anything in it besides a bed and a small table but they just as easy to set up, are able to carry a lot of stuff on top, they are small, light and sturdy enough to take anywhere… You can tow them with a quad on top of it, go to the end of the road take the quad off and tow it down the trail with the quad…
It was a big step up from a tent but it doesn't have anything besides the bed and table, it also took about a foot of snow without any problems that knocked down another tent we had up
