SUPPLEMENT TO McHENEY PLAINDEALER - PAGE 23 -WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7,1978 For the outdoorsman and his family who prefer camp­ ing off the beaten path, the versatile truck camper can be a made-to-order recreational vehicle. The true tfeacher defends his pupils against his • own personal in­ fluence. -A. Bronson Alcott. The average adult, with all his wisdom, rarely understands how much the average child under­ stands. POUR WHEEL IN' HOME--Match a comfortable slide-in camping unit, like the Coachmen 8' model above, with a four- wheel drive pickup truck, and you have a home on wheels that will go just about anywhere. "Truck camper shines as outback base camp The pickup tnick camper put the term "recreational vehicle" in the American leisure-lifestyle language . . . and opened the road for the motor homes, mini motor homes and vans that were to follow in droves. In fact, this vehicle (which rides piggyback on a stan­ dard pickup truck) became a status symbol when John Steinbeck wrote about his camper in the popular "Travels with Charlie." Until recently this ver­ satile RV had been over­ shadowed by more luxurious units. However, within the past several seasons the orig­ inal self-contained, self- powered camper has seen a resurgence. Combined with a rugged four-wheel drive pickup truck, the slide-in camping unit offers an off-the-road camper that can take you and most of the comforts of home almost anywhere. New popularity in this manner the pickup camper has found a new popularity with hunters, fishermen, backpackers and others who want a mobile base camp that can get them back into the country. Most slide-in rigs provide water system, sink, gas range, self-contained electri­ cal systems, and commodius bunks in the cab-over sec­ tion. Depending on need, the camper can be equipped with a furnace, water heater, toilet and holding tank and a long list of luxuries to take the edge off roughing it. There is a wide variety of truck campers available for the standard eight-foot pickup truck bed. A typical l i n e i s a v a i l a b l e f r o m Coachmen, the largest selling brand of all types of recre­ ational vehicles. This company offers slide- ins from eight through 11 feet long (measuring from the front of the truck bed back). All have a spacious cab-over double bed, convertible din­ ette and plenty of storage space. Coachmen even has a special lightweight model for compact trucks. Right unit for you The type of unit right for you depends on the carrying capacity of your pickup truck and personal taste. For proper installation you will want to use chain or cable tie-downs that attach to the truck frame, and perhaps a shock absorber system. The correct mating of pickup and camper does not produce the type of vehicle that charges up mountains, but it will get the amenities of civilization farther into the wilderness than you might have thought possible. Since this camper is easily removed from the vehicle, e c o n o m i c a l R V s o n t h e market--and certainly one of the most versatile. The ini­ tial investment for a new unit runs from $2,000 to $3,000. It stores on its own jacks when not in use, and can even be switched from one truck to another. Anything you want And, since today's pickup truck can be anything you want--from simple econ­ omy minded roadster to awe­ some four-wheeler--your home on wheels can be just as adaptable.
