That Conestoga is seriously cool! Love the windows. Mine is not that vintage.

I love this post...further proof that newer isn't always better. Maybe in about 10 years, my Pop-Up will qualify as vintage. Hahaha, some say it's "vintage" right now (it's and '85 Jayco).

There are some things where being shorter (in height) can benefit you! I'm 6'4" and have plenty of headroom in my 2001 Jayco. But my first pup, 1995 Skamper, I couldn't really stand up straight in. I definitely couldn't lay down sideways (and fit. . .)

I like some of the older vintage-type campers for some really unique features like the hardside Apaches and that one up a few posts with the window on the bunkends (or whatever that is.) Then there was that one in another post where the kitchen galley completely slid out to the patio area for cooking! That was cool!

My height limits my comfort level, though. I'm sure there are plenty of people my height or taller who do fine in an older camper, but for me, I sleep long ways in the bunk end with my feet hanging off the bed (just like at home) and I can stand up straight and even stretch if I have to and not feel cramped. I just don't know how many campers would fit me this way.

Love the vintage pups, though!

Not sure if our '82 Coleman is vintage, but its gota few years on it, anyway. Compared to ours, the Conestoga looks huge!!

I just bought a 73 Cox Campmaster this weekend for $350. In the process of repairing the rot. Canvas is good on it, but it has been sitting for at least a decade.

 

I do have some pictures. I will try to put them up as soon as I can. I will be working 12 hour shifts all week, so it may be a couple of days.

The floor is rotten in the front and all the upholstery is dry rotted. So, I have it opened up inside my garage so it will be out of the weather and I can work on it whenever the mood hits.

 

We'll be camping this Good Friday weekend with the friends of ours who have a 1970-something Apache hardwall popup. I'll take some pictures of it this time. It will be our second outing with them. The first one was so busy I never got any pictures. I'm just so excited to be camping this weekend!!!!

Don't know if 1987 counts as vintage, but we got this Palomino hardside back in November. Going on our first real campout this weekend. I will finally be able to get a pic of my pup in a CG.
