Vintage Camping Equipment

From Field and Stream March 1961.

In that vein, I've been wanting to acquire one of those 1-ton van based '70s Class C motorhomes, an old grain truck, and do a cab/front chassis swap. To me towing a Falcon dinghy style behind a motor home makes better sense than towing a full-size camper behind a big truck or SUV.

I've got a tent trailer from 1976, that count? lol

Very good thread and deserves another bump.

This is a wonderful conversation. I am also a vintage camping/day trip enthusiast. Thought I'd share about an item I had made that really brings me back to that era: my travel rug. This one is from Chapman Bags. It is 100% lambswool and has a detachable waterproof lining.

Here's my son in one of my Blacks tents.

Camped on the shores of Lac D'Annecy as a base for a weeks' climbing in the French Alps in August. We didn't bother with the flysheet as we flew over and were tight for space. Only one night's rain - heavy - but no water in the tent at all.

I have a set of stacked aluminum camping cups marked Rev-O-Noc, which is a trademark of HSB&Co, later to become True Value Hardware.

How about the ultimate in vintage teardrop camping adventure? http://www.jessicaryanphotography.com/DigitalScrapbook/Alaska2009/AboutTheCar.htm

I like that. That would be an adventure alright! And what experience you would have.

 

[David Conwill]

That's a goal for me, right there!

Quite right and shouting "poop, poop"

Exactly! And running into everything. Sadly, that would entail damaging a truly precious auto.
