We purchased a 1979 Chevy 1T Crew Cab Dually yesterday, and it included a Large Fully self-contained Cabover Camper. It was just such a good deal we couldn't pass it up! I'll post pics of it later after I clean it up today.

Cool.

It you want to sell the camper (which I guessing is only a matter of time

), let me know. :good

Actually, as a matter of fact, I was thinking about selling the camper right after the Miller's B-Day deal. Â Had that planned all along.

Â At the very least, the camper will be coming off and sitting in an orchard up at my parents place after the July deal. Â How much ya wanna pay for one? Â This is an older model, but doesn't look too bad and has literally everything. Â Generator, Shower/Toilet, Refer, Stove, Hot Water Heater, Roof AC/Heat, etc etc. Â It's a pretty cool little camper. Â Looks bigger on the inside than it does from the outside. I count room for sleeping 6 people, which was more than our old 26' Motorhome had! :good

Â I'll post pics later today.

Yeah let me know. I probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it for a couple months, but I've been kicking the tires at a couple of the RV dealers looking at campers.

Ok, I just now wen out and took a bunch of pics. Â Mrs BBT is transferring them to the computer right now. Â Of course, an easy way to see the camper would be to go to Miller's B-Day Deal

I love the little spotlight deal on the drivers side. On our way home with the truck, I kept playing with it and shining it in Mrs BBT's eyes (She was following me). When we got home, I told her about it and she asked, "Was that what that was? SOmething kept shining in my eyes and I thought it was the sun reflecting off the chrome on the truck". I about rolled on the ground laughing. :rotflmao

Yeah, I love it. Â But it has 2 AM/FM/Cassette players that have to go. Â One in the truck and one in the camper. Â Haven't these folks that owned it previously ever heard of COMPACT DISCS??

It was kinda hard to drive though. I mean, the truck drives great but I couldn't keep my eyes on the road. They were afixed at the gas gauge literally watching it go down lower and lower. By the time we got within 10 miles from home, I was switching back and forth between gas tanks trying to make it home......

I was hiding from it behind the camper but he would move the truck over more to the shoulder.

Let me know if you ever want to part with the camper, that's pretty much what I've been looking for, as long as everthing works.

Potable water? Â Is that the waste water? Â If so, I'f I'm not mistaken, it is near the rear of the truck, on the drivers side. Â The fresh water is in the front of the camper right under the cab window. Â It's sorta like an L shaped deal, with the waste water tank sideways on the Rear left side vertically, and the fresh water across the front horizontally

The drain is most definitely in the rear, right near/under the generator (Under the camper though, not under the generator)
