|
|
I have a very rare camper, for which I spent decades trying to identify the builder. It was purchased new as a camper (I have the original invoice from the dealer).
In one of the strangest coincidences ever, my father’s next door neighbor turned out to be the builder. The company was called Freedom Van and they built over 1.000 of these for different dealers. Later they went on to become Contempo.
Anyone else have one? Anyone have a camper that they have been trying to identify?

Do you have a camera or a phone with a camera? It would be nice to see what you're talking about. What year is the bus? |

That right there is downright freaky. Some of his blood is probably on something even. |

" Turn it up, man", often wondered if this build inspired this much loved commercial...
