Need some advice!

Can anyone help me identify and research info about this Truck Camper? It is for sale, and the owner knows nothing about it. He took it in on a trade, and he never used it. He called it an Americana, and said that it was a custom camper! I will try to send the photos he posted. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated. I am a mother of 2 adventurous young kids that want to camp this summer. I want to pull another toy behind so this would allow me that option. Thanks for any info bad or good;)

  • Well darn, I will keep trying!!! It is big , heavy and a solid 1 piece fiberglass shell. I have a Chevy hd 2500 diesel. Not a long bed though. The door is on the right side, not the back. He says it's a 90s model, Americana custom built maybe out of California. I'll keep trying to post the pic, maybe my 6 year old can do it lol.

    Use the 'Image' button to paste an actual picture link (which would end in .jpg .

    this address pasted into/using the image editor window would produce


    the other image is a very small thumbnail?

    Dont know anything about the camper-nice old camper, looks familur-heavy and long (side door). Not knowing weight of camper or truck cant say as to match, could mention towing behind it though because of size, more than likley would require an extended hitch setup...

    Create an account on Photobucket or equivalent and then post pictures from there.

    Give it a try and we can help you fix a problem with posting and point you to instructions.

    Also, someone in the area with truck camper experience may be able to assist you with looking it over.

    Another good question: what truck model do you have?

    No pictures are showing and they would be very helpful. There are some members here that could probably ID the unit just from a picture.

    Quick Google search of "Americana" showed lots of pop up tent campers, but only a few truck campers, none of that name.

    Good luck with your search.
