Well after helping my brother-in-law joel (backcountry) with his camper. I decided that I needed to have one too.
since the Scout version of the four wheel pop up camper was made in Colorado. I figured that would be the best chance of finding a good one. So I ran an ad on the denver Colorado cl. It got several responses. The best one came from gary billings. He goes by scoutman67 on the just internationals site. He had just bought a Scout II with a snow plow and one of these campers. He told me that the Scout was getting parted out but that the camper was in what he thought was pretty good shape. So I had him send some pictures and I ask him about some of the problem areas that we had discovered while working on joel’s.
After looking at the pictures and getting all my questions answered. I was able to tell that it was indeed the best of the bunch. So we struck a deal.
I had a hard time this summer finding the time to go back a pick it up. So gary moved it to a friend of dads that lives in newcastle co. Which is where Dad and I picked it up. It was a 2350 round trip which we “iron manned” leaving ihcs at 4:30 on Friday and getting back Sunday at 4:30.
the camper is in real nice original condition. It has a few issues that I will need to address but overall is in useable shape as is. I have a 75 Scout II xlc that I have been saving for something special. So it will get this camper installed on it. Here are some pictures of the trip and a few after we got it home and popped it up in the driveway. I will be uploading more as I get it cleaned up and then start the process of installing it on the Scout.
loaded and ready to head back to oregon.
The top of the santiam pass. We were glad that we weren’t 3 hrs later.
Home at ihcs.
