The Tri Level Sky Rider needs to be totally modernized and brought back. I've NEVER seen a truck camper with a patio on the roof. Very smart use of space.
#3- Those pickup truck campers take me back. I’ll never forget my Dad coming home with a Del Rey cab over on a ‘66 3/4 ton Chevy. This was our graduation from tent camping, and we thought we were seriously uptown. A roof mounted AC three years later in ‘71 was the icing on the cake. Wish I had that package back.
My parents bought a slightly used Kamp King camper, just a regular size, 8 ft. Back in the 60s. That was so well built, solid. We loved it and went everywhere in it. They used it for YEARS until they were too old to use it any longer then sold it with the truck. Hope the buyers enjoyed it. Lots of great memories in it.
I have a 1973 Holiday Rambler Travel Trailer Camper. We love it. Fully self contained. With full bath. Sleeps 6. Minor restoration. Purchased it for 1500. Works great. It's my home. I thank God everyday for mine.
Number one brought some memories flooding back. Had loads of fun touring in our Starcraft, and coincidentally, i just came across a photo of 6 of us in convoy. How time flies!
My dad cut the body from the windshield back off of a 61 impala & built a commerical looking motorhome on it. We traveled the us every summer. We (all 6 of us)actually ended up living in it for a year when we fell on hard times in Florida. The man could build anything. He built all his own boats. He even built a washing machine in the desert in India during WW2 out of a windmill, 55 gal drum, & the rear end axle & gearbox from military jeep.
Here in our county there is a GMC sitting in the backyard of the man who used to repair sewing machines. It is just mildewing away. Sad but I don't have the resources to do anything even if it was for sale.
A Dodge 1976 Mobile Travler 17ft bought for $5k in Austin TX fully contained a/c, heating, etc. Was in the back row trade ins (skid row) tuned it up + oil change kit, and did a fantastic trip Rockies, Alaska, Valdez, Dawson, Artic Circle, Deluth, back to Ilpaso. 308 engine never missed a beat.
We had a Winnebago Chieftain. 27 feet long, the dual beds in the back, bathroom mid coach, a small kitchen, a dinette and a bunk that lowered over the drivers area. We went all over the U.S. in that during the 70's and 80's. A leak in the roof, and axle problems spelled the end to the Winne for us.
The amazing looking Rover P5B camper van that was built in 1971 and was for sale in July 2018 in the UK. It was fully restored by it's present owner with all mod-cons.
My parents had a GMC motorhome in the 70s when they had the orange , green, etc. 70s colors. Ours was cream tan and brown though. We went on the first trip to Arizona in it. We were on our way back to our home in Oregon and after we got part way into Oregon it conked out. They looked it over later and found out that someone at the factory had put some sawdust in the gas tank, probably in protest of the gas shortage going on at the time. GMC only gave dad part of the money back on it, and gave him a GMC pickup for some of it. Dad didn't like GMC pickups. He always had Fords. After that dad bought a Revcon, which was pretty good.
Julie mis padres tambien tuvieron un GMC 76' por muchos años... Modelo Kingsley crema con el interior naranja. Que recuerde la unica vez que se accidento fue en los Andes cuando se rompió una de las mangueras del radiador de la caja de dirección. Fue el mejor de los motorhome que mi padre tuvo. 🚌 Saludos --- 🖖 Julie my parents also had a GMC 76 'for many years ... Kingsley cream model with orange interior. To remember the only time it was accidental was in the Andes when one of the radiator hoses of the steering box was broken. It was the best motorhome that my father had. 🚌 Regards --- 🖖
You know a truck camper A frame hybrid would be a neat new camper for the market. the bottom area having the kitchen and breakfast nook and a rest room with a fantastic fan. With a walk in shower you fold up and a cartridge toilet not a wet bath with a fantastic fan with a queen bed in the top half of the camper. Really neat truck camper for sure. The breakfast nook can be made into a bed for the grand kid's. Azdel and air alloy aluminum frame work would make the camper very light weight. Could even place a hand pulled pull out on each side has well. Change truck campers forever! 😊😉
I remember when I was young, someone in the neighborhood bought a Jeep CJ that had a camper mounted on the top, from the factory. It looked absurdly dangerous, and obviously I wanted one.
Figure the Center of Gravity to be somewhere around two feet higher than the roof line and even a moderate turn at anything above 35 mph could be more fun than one could handle.
I remember in the 60s going hunting with my dad his friend had a home made camper on his pickup with a home made trailer behind it it was actually well built and painted to match his pickup

Plans for the #2 Phoenix van are available from www.rqriley.com, as are many other unique and interesting DIY vehicle plans including other vehicles, bikes, boats, and even a submarine.
If you guys ever make another of these lists, look into Alaskan truck campers, they're a brand based in Washington that makes four-season, hard side pop-up truck campers. They're crazy, and still in production. I would really like to get one for my truck.
Oh, I want a camper so bad. I don’t have much money, but I’m going to really pray god God to give me the wisdom to maybe make one? Well, get my husband to make one..... Great video.
4:32 we had that exact model Winnebago back in the 90s so it was already kinda old. Thing was a beast though always thought it was gonna fall apart driving 65 in it.
Thanks for watching everyone! 😍

A video of custom made RVs of the 60s and 70s would be cool.
Thanks for putting these videos together they are full of interesting vehicles and history that we just don't hear about.

Weight, my friend. Too much weight up too high, decreasing stability. The result is a death trap.
Agreed!

campers was the rage back then , open country side was great

So schöne Wohnmobile, zeitlos, einfach ein Augenschmaus.
My family had a 20 foot Winnebago Champion when I was a kid. We traveled all over the country in it. Good memories!
I liked the #2 of all 10 , but all this campers are great, Traveling is the best enjoyable time,.
Like the number 3 rv on this vid.for back of bed of.truck.

My father helped out restoring the Saab 92H, he and the owner are pretty good friends
Most definitely #9 should be on the top of the list as #1. That camper is a true definition of a groovy camper motorhome.
Pretty crazy campers
They are, but I like crazy!!!!!
I love the design and interior refurbishment of a tri-level camper.
No 9 is a straight up BEAST!!!!
Champion RV circa 60-70's
Champion motor campers
Oh wow, man. Like, far out.
Holiday House very cool 😎
Very cool video and thank you!
Number one brought some memories flooding back. Had loads of fun touring in our Starcraft, and coincidentally, i just came across a photo of 6 of us in convoy. How time flies!
Definitely number 5 or 1!!
#5 was cool but it in no way got 15mpg The car by itself didn't get that much mileage
My dad cut the body from the windshield back off of a 61 impala & built a commerical looking motorhome on it. We traveled the us every summer. We (all 6 of us)actually ended up living in it for a year when we fell on hard times in Florida. The man could build anything. He built all his own boats.

Love the three level truck camper😘
I remember the 3 level truck camper when it came out. Saw one on the road about a month ago. UNIQUE PLUS!!!!!!
I like number 2!!!!!
Some nice for today
Phoenix is Super Cool
I used to have a Western Flyer bike as a kid that would match up well with that RV.
I love them all but must have a deck and open sky for breathtaking views. #3 thanks so much
no. 8 is the one I prefer
the caravan that can drive was the best it just needs a special cover for the head lights then no one will steal it no tow hitch
Hold me back! Mama's going shopping! I didn't think about making my own... So cool!
All of these (except maybe the Winnie) are RAD! I love the Winnebago though, for sentimental reasons.
Definitely should include the early 70's GMC built motorhomes with Olds 455 V8 engine, front wheel drive, and trippy 70's interiors!
Norm K. I agree. I think it’s the most beautiful complete-from-scratch factory Motorhome ever.
Here in our county there is a GMC sitting in the backyard of the man who used to repair sewing machines. It is just mildewing away. Sad but I don't have the resources to do anything even if it was for sale.

They are all cool but my fave is number 3 the triple decker
Winnebago...people of the dirty water? Hey that's funny and probably true! Ya learn something every day. Thx.
I love the art deco look of #4-1941 Western Flyer Motorhome. The grill is spectacular. I could enjoy this for quite some time.
The three level one is the most interesting - liked it very much; also the Phoenix Campervan....
That Kamp King was AWESOME!
I know it’s a trailer, but I always liked that fifth wheel camper trailer for the VW Bug...
Kamp King Koaches
The 3 level slide n was bad ass and the one on the Ford frame that was bad from 2 halves! Omg I'd daily drive it !
Beautiful campers ...truly inspiring
I liked that tri-level camper
Tri level .. awesome. Love this video
All of them are great!
The Discoverer looks like it has been based on the Jumbo Jet, pretty cool!
These look awesome. Wish we could see more of the interiors though.
Cool ,i like the olds ,
The starstreek 1 and 2 so cool and the 3 level truck camper
#3 is really awe-inspiring
We had a Winnebago Chieftain. 27 feet long, the dual beds in the back, bathroom mid coach, a small kitchen, a dinette and a bunk that lowered over the drivers area. We went all over the U.S. in that during the 70's and 80's. A leak in the roof, and axle problems spelled the end to the Winne for us.
Old pics but it's on the rise again! Many are kitbashing their "Get the hell out machines! " these day's!
IF YOU HAVEN;T WATCHED THIS VIDEO TAKE A LOOK. THESE CAMPERS ARE REALLY WORTH CHECKING OUT! I LOVE THEM! SO CLASSY!
I think #3 was ahead of it's time. A tri-level camper back then was pretty innovative.
I was surprised the truck suspensions were level they looked like 1/2 ton models.

Great video. The Starstreak looks like it was a giant magnet and random body panels flew onto it.

Loved the one on top deck wonderful would love to live in it now
I'll take number 2
It's hard to choose from all of them the most fancy one was the one that was on eBay auction I liked how the window wrapped around.
I also wanted a Winnebago but probably will have to put up with the "WantToBeABago" that I will build one day!!

Recent lightweight hard shell trailers is what I want to see next!
Very interesting
Fun to watch, I always liked the GMC Motorhomes .

I just got a 1988 Toyota winnebago 😎
I like caravans
Me parecen mas comodos que los actuales .hermosos
I'd like to see more inside shots :)
I really like #1alot God bless you all
I really like the 1970 Olds version and also laugh that some of these get better mileage then my SUV
phoenix camper van is the best in design.
Many trips in the Winnebago , Love all of these , Thank You :) QC
I love the style of the last one its awesome
amazing design
The inside needs beautification work, but I want that 1941 Western Flyer. It's gorgeous!
Kamp King Koaches for me. What could be better than your own tripple-story motorhome?
A four-story motorhome? We got this F.P!
EEEK! Where was I!!?!! Fifteen thousand for the car camper I SO wish I would’ve BEEN THERE-amazing finds, great compilation!🍁✌🏼
Loved the ford #1 and the tri level camper
what i would like to see in the future s the insides of whatever vehicle youre showing
You try finding interior images in vintage vehicles. They're very difficult to find.
I want one of #2... It looks fun.
If you guys ever make another of these lists, look into Alaskan truck campers, they're a brand based in Washington that makes four-season, hard side pop-up truck campers. They're crazy, and still in production. I would really like to get one for my truck.
Dont come knocking if the camper is rocking
My parents had a clam camper that slid into a station wagon I would love to find one of those today
Teepees,America's first mobile homes.
Thanks for the video very interesting, I'd love to see one on the Ultravan made in Kansas during the 60s. Thanks
wish we coulda seen inside the caddy
Oh, I want a camper so bad. I don’t have much money, but I’m going to really pray god God to give me the wisdom to maybe make one? Well, get my husband to make one..... Great video.

I love this video! So fun to see the variety in these vintage beauties! (When I was a little kid my ideal home was a Winnebago!)
THANK YOU FOR DETAIL VIDEO
i like the vw tent one. vw also made a beelte rv and a camper that old beetles pulled with a hitch that clamped on the roof. 🍻
#3 please! That thing is awesome, i want one
saab is beautiful
