Wow, that really brings back memories. When my dad and uncles were alive, in the 80s, they all had similar setups for their hunting/camping trips. Sometimes I'd lay up in the bed with the window shades open and just watch the road and scenery go by. We'd all be backed up close to each other in a sorta circle and there was food, a bonfire and just really really good times.

I've never seen an extendable upper bed in a truck bed camper. Never. And to have it in that condition, you got the find of the decade!! Long ago my husband & I, before we had kids, went to Yellowstone for a week with an overhead truck camper. Go for the walks, see the sites, pull over in a parking lot, fix lunch/dinner/snack in the camper, take naps, (!!), watch our 6" b&w tv (no vcrs in those days), find an empty spot in a campground for the night... everything unplanned and at a whim. Best trip I ever had. Just seeing the camper and its wonderful condition is a total pleasure!

Awww... wifey got so disappointed when it wasn't a miniature donkey you were picking up 😁 (since I yelled "Miniature Donkeys!") That camper is just awesome! Looks like it is in great condition as well. Congratulations with that buy!

That camper is unbelievable! It’s like t was bought, placed in a temperature controlled garage, and left there for 34 years! Congratulations on your purchase, Casey!

Been watching you for a year now and now I am even a bigger fan knowing you have an Illiostomy. I too live with one and used to do repo's and heavy recovery. Retired now but love your videos keep them coming.

I like to watch recovery videos, camping videos and train videos. This was a perfect video.

just what you need , can tell by the smile on your face , I pushed the button on facebook marketplace and got three old vans , they are going to give me something to do now I'm retired , same feeling .

Congrats on the camper! I've had every RV known to man, and until I got my conv. van, my camper was my favorite. Shortly after moving to Chico, CA in the late 80's from North ID, I looked at the sky and told my wife it looks like snow. She told her coworkers who laughed and said it never snows in Chico. We woke up to 6 inches. By the way, KZread "killer donkeys".

Casey, couple of suggestions to consider. I have updated older campers, trailers, and pop-ups. First, change all the bulbs to LED to conserve power. Add a thermostatically controlled roof vent with rain cover. That could reduce your A/C demands. Finally, I would suggest swapping out that older 3 way fridge. There are You tubers who swear that those things are a fire hazard, especially if you use propane while in transit. I switched to a newer 12v compressor model, and am quite satisfied. I am just sharing my experiences, and encourage you to ignore me if any of my advice is contrary to what you want.

Man those make awesome overnight rigs or toy hauler campers on the front of trailers . Lite weight and easy to load . You did awesome finding that one !

It was nice for the former owners to store your time capsule for you. Now you can enjoy it for miles and miles of use.

Back in the late 1970s had the 10 ft version of that camper on a F250. A lot of memories. Wow! Almost 50 years ago. Thieves tried to steal setup on a couple of occasions just before hunting season. The old ford starters were not that great and truck was hard to start so didn't happen. I loved that setup. In summer my job allowed me time for 4 day weekend camping every other week with my daughters. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

It seems we have similar addictions 🤣 that's a sweet camper! I too am blessed with an awesome wife who typically keeps me from buying every cool thing, but also encourages many, they are rare and wonderful! You have mentioned several times wanting one, glad it worked out man!

Ordinarily I wouldn't even go there, but your experience suggests to me I should lighten up and give some things a chance. (With wisdom.) Thanks.
