I saw this a few months ago, but didn't get around to posting it. Just ran across the file again today. Sorry about the lousy 'phone cam picture...



Not sure if it's a home-built, or made in a custom shop, or what. Siding is bright bare aluminum. It had racks for a couple of more bikes on top of the trailer. The sign said he was a carpenter looking for work, and gave an out-of-area cell number. No one around, or I'd have stopped and chatted.

Like you, I am seeing some pretty interesting campers out there. Something like the Dust Bowl migration and the modification of Model A's, but today.

Pretty cool camper and kudos to him if it’s a home built but what the heck could he carry in that trailer, a sandwich and maybe a bag of chips? There’s not much room for anything else!


Looking for any information available on Del Rey "Sky Lounge" and Kamp King slide-ins for preservation/restoration projects.

G, it sure looked totally professionally built. The trailer _may_ have been a pop-top, too. I now wish I'd looked at it the whole rig more closely.

If Satellite TV didn't cost so much, I'd probably have a dish strapped to my rig too
