Davlin Campers

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.

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.

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

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 :)

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.
