Wagon Campers?

Anyone seen one of these before?

 

I've seen them for sale on evilbay, Craigslist, and Hemmings a few times.
Better have good, brakes, springs and shocks with that baby on the roof.
If it's fiberglass it probably weighs a ton. I had a fiberglass cap on my '76 El Camino and it took two men and a boy to lift that thing on and off.

 

Well you can tell by the ride height it's got the suspension.....now about those drum(?) brakes???

 

Did they have carbon fiber back then?

 

That just looks like an accident waiting to happen. It doesn't look that securely fastened either. One rack-type connection on the roof; wonder what the back end connected with - the bumper? It blocks the rear window and tailgate access too. An Airstream is 1000 times cooler!

 

It looks like an over-sized outhouse is trying to have its way with the wagon....and the wagon doesn't look happy about it.

 

I think they did, just not up to todays standards........ card board covered in fiber glass

 

I got outbid on the one on Ebay last year by a few bucks !!!

they are called a Totemotel...and they are pretty freekin cool...not cute...but cool !!
I still want one
