Is that a pop-up or 747 style camper?

Must be fun finding routes that don't go under bridges.

Top section must have folded down or it would be over the height limit for US highways.

Something similar

Here is a typical KampKing model. Reportedly these still come up for sale occasionally in the used camper market.

I tracked it down. It was a pop up roof and deck option for the KampKing camper. Lifetime warranty too!

As far as I have been able to determine the company was started in the early 1960's and reportedly lasted until the early 1990's. The latest picture of one I found online that looked like these was a1968 model. They also made class C motorhomes on van chassis.

There was a pop out back option as well

Pretty cool Craig.
Thanks.
That's "glamping" 1960s style.

' have kids on a deck like that now and somebody'd call Child Protective Services. But, it'd be great for use at Indy.
