Davlin Campers

That camper is from 1990 and looks to be in "adequate" shape for its 27years.

Davlin stopped making campers in 1995. At the time, they were somewhat popular here un Germany - I have seen a few.

They did make models that fit on the old Rangers and comparable trucks. Those make up about 95% of pickup trucks here. The one you are looking at has no bathroom and looks fairly small on the pictures, so it may fit. At least technically, which means that the floor fits between the rear wheel wells.

Weight is an issue. Many small trucks here are crew cabs with very short beds, and putting a camper on these very easily overloads the rear axle (and lightens the front...)

The campers were of conventional construction - wood frame and aluminum siding. This particular one looks like it has seen at least one makeover. New flooring, painted furniture. Be careful if you look at it and insure that it is structurally sound. Especially at the front corners where the jacks are mounted.

Thanks for the info and advice! That's kind of what I suspected, about the overloading, but I was thrown off that it seemed to be sized specifically for those trucks. Seems like an option might be to put it on an F-150 and create extra storage underneath and around the camper. If it seems structurally sound that is :)

somebody here referred me to 4 wheel campers IIRC out of CA that had light weight TCs. would work on my tacoma
bumpy

It appears to have some intrusion issues on the backside left of the door and the cab over also appears to be a bit wonky (bowed) but could be the camera too. Has the old style hydraulic jacks (can be a PITA) at times..

$2100 is too much for a vintage unit like that, in that condition. Maybe 1 grand on the high side.

Pictures are poor quality, so hard to judge condition from them, but no AC for camping in AZ or NV ????
NO WAY.
The label says dry weight just above 1000lb.
I had more weight on El Camino, so it is doable, what doesn't mean it will be comfortable to drive.

Not everyone is luxury orientated like you are.... just say'in.:p

I will say that typical CL pie-in-the-sky asking price.

Definitely a good candidate for a rebuild, but not at that price. I would offer 800-1000.

Here is new one with 1000lb weight

If that would be with OP budget, looks like good deal.

No way it weighs 1000 pounds. More like 1500 dry.

Build quality on a Trevel Lite is suspect anyway, but then it's relatively new so at least it's not a winter project... at least not this winter...lol

Could be the OP is on a budget and don't want to spend 8500.

Thank all for the feedback! I'll definitely look closely at the structure. I was concerned the roof looked a little bowed too.
I'm definitely on a budget, so $8500 is out for me.
I live in AZ, but I live in Flagstaff so it's not too warm :p Also mostly using this for climbing, and the climbing is always better when the temps are low! More concerned about having a heater actually.
Sounds like I'll need to work on my negotiating skills! It's been posted a couple of times and for a little while now, so maybe they'll be open.
