Vintage Truck-Based Trailer Campers

From almost the beginning of the automobile age, creative craftsmen have been combining small trailers and home-built camper shells with truck frames or cut-down car bodies, to create some pretty unique, practical, and sometimes outlandish truck-based campers and car-based campers. Sometimes the resulting mash-up is a bit crude, but often the creation is a stylish and expertly created one-of-a-kind custom camper. For a while, these practical trailer-campers became so popular that several automobile manufacturers and specialty coach builders (including Ford, Dodge and REO) began producing their own version of a "custom" truck-based camper. Today these vintage truck-based campers are prized for their utility, retro style and often high quality old-world craftsmanship, and their unique and sometimes funky styling just adds to their desirability.
