They were in business for a long time. I seem to remember the gas crisis in the 70's was the downfall for the company.

Cameron- Check the inside pics of the camper, it must have been stored inside a climate controlled storage for years, never seen a old camper look that good inside.

Wow! What a find! I'm curious when the hand water pump was replaced? Our old TC had one too.
Dad introduced me to the TC world when I was 10 yrs so yes it's in my blood but we didn't have it long because of the gas crisis.- Every time I see one of those, the sliding door strikes me as odd.
- I think a new set of springs might be the first order of business. LOL!
- Classic example of an ORIGINAL "Class C"- which term was coined based on exactly this design: "C" standing for "chassis mount camper"! Looks like a bargain- not many of those puppies available at that price, I'd bet.
- I haven't seen one of these Open Road motorhomes in at least 20 years. It's nice to see on that has survived.
Bob - What a great find.
Love it.
