I actually was paid to take this away, by the original owner who bought it brand new in 1970.
It was a little pop-up camper. He told me he and his wife took it across the United States more than once and had a lot of good times traveling and camping in it. Eventually, it started wearing out and leaking, and he parked it in his back yard. He finally gutted the rotten interior to get rid of it bit by bit. This empty shell is what was left and he had no way to remove it himself.
Best part is, he still had the title, which I now have.
It's a tiny little thing - the body is only about 6 feet wide (or less) and 8 feet long (or less). It's very lightweight right now - I and one other guy lifted the entire thing up into my truck to haul it away. The title says its registered weight was 720 lbs.
I'm toying with the idea of using it as a starting point for some kind of little pop-up/slide-out camper. Note the remnants of the slides, which formerly had twin beds in them that slid out when pop-up was set up. The floor is rotten, so it will require complete disassembly and basically starting over from the ground up. But the frame seems to be solid enough, and at least the main basic pieces are there.
I love the little orange sides of the thing - it's got a really nice retro/vintage feel to it.
