How do you get it on the truck without jacks? I don't see any in the plans pic either.


Tripod jacks.

Glen-L is a company that started in 1953 selling boat plans and kits. I've known about them since the '60s (avid boater) but didn't know they had camper plans, too. I learn something just about every day.

That was my first thought too.

My father built a Glen-L Malibu TT in the early 70's. It was my first experience in RV'ing. Went across the country (and Canada) many times.
Thanks for posting that link... spend a couple hours reminiscing.
Sold the TC, previous owner of 2 NorthStar pop-ups & 2 Northstar Arrows...still have the truck:

I think it is the Grandview, if not a very close look alike.

My brother built one about 40 years ago.

Pre 1978 IMO. By โ€˜78 windows were bigger in TCs. These are tiny.

Check all the insides of the cabinet doors often there is a manufacturers label/build sheet.

It looks like there are a couple of labels over the RH brake light. Depending on what those are, I wouldnโ€™t expect to see manufacturer or warning labels on a home-built.

Looks home made, or at the least DIY rebuilt. No signs of there ever being jacks on the corners, so if it was a TC at one time it was probably re-sided when it was attached to the trailer.
