Ford truck campers

Well, it has been 42 years (2015-1973)...

This will be interesting.

  • I am amazed, "In 1973, Ford debuted the American Road, a molded-fiberglass truck camper that was decades ahead of its time. The 11.5 foot Ford American Road was designed to match Ford trucks and featured a basement with heated and insulated holding tanks, a full-booth face-to-face dinette, sprayed on urethane foam insulation, and a 100,000 mile, 40-degree below zero durability test - in 1973!"

    Every day, I read the question, "What is the best TC." Read the above, and ask yourself if you ever heard of a Northern Lite or Bigfoot. Personally, I think this supports my belief that the molded fiberglass TC is the best. Perhaps I missed it, but I saw no reference to Felon. Ford is big enough to have done their homework.
