1978 Fliteway Truck Camper

My DW and I bought a 1978 Fliteway last year. When the camper isn't on the truck, we've been working long and hard at refurbishing and updating it. Other than locating a company (Fliteway Co., Inc. in Manawa, WI) that existed in the late '70's I have not been successful at finding any information, including pictures on this camper. Anyone out there have any knowledge, pictures of, or experience with this one? We're almost done with the interior, and previous owners repainted the exterior - left one logo and the serial number plate untouched. We'd like to find more information on the company and camper - how many were built, if the company still exists & under which name (if it does) and where we can get pieces and parts to finish the refurbishment. Thanks for any information you can supply.

    Yes. Our stripe was painted over, logo and all with blue paint. It was originally orange. I can see traces where it wasn't masked or where the new paint has chipped just enough. I found a picture of one that was painted black, but since there was no logo, I can only assume it was originally orange, too. Thanks! I think they were a very locally made and owned camper. Kind of wondering how many were made and how many are still in use (or sitting in a field). I have found pictures of three others, but only pictures of the exterior. No interior pix.

    I owned one in 1979. The outside is off white with an orange stripe down the side. I can't tell you much more about it.
