Hey all! Thought I’d share something with you all that I saw on our last outing a few weekends ago. My girlfriend and I along with another couple took a trip down to Baltimore together with our camper. The real purpose of the weekend was to go skydiving (I abstained lol) and afterwards we found our way to Patapsco State Park, which really was quite a nice place to stay. After getting our spot set up for the night we walked up to grab some firewood from the campground host and as we got to their spot I found they had quite an interesting set up.
As you can probably see it is an older fiberglass truck camper, I’m assuming two pieces similar to Bigfoot and Northern Lite designs, planted atop a steel trailer with extra storage underneath the cabover. From my conversation with the owners they told me it was a model built by a company called American Road and they were commissioned by Chevrolet to go on their C10 pickups back in the late 70s. The gentleman they bought it from evidently built steel trailers just like the one on which the camper sits, and he would travel to Carlisle PA and various car shows to promote his custom car trailers. Apparently he triple towed truck, trailer/camper, and a stack of trailers behind that! Sorry I don’t have any pictures of the inside, but I found it an interesting set up and story none-the-less.

How often it rains in Australia?
In Las Vegas we had 2 rains and 3 drizzles last winter.
Looking at the link, I like the hose-able floors in those trailers.
Rotten floor is the biggest issue on US trailers, even on aluminium body Airstreams.

Its not a new idea for sure... I have looked at this photo on google search a few times. Lots of built-in storage space on the trailer...

Looks like with 7' wide trailer he can use the jacks?
But still, lot of people consider TC as redneck, so this would qualify as Super Redneck?
