AR Wanted - FWC K5 Camper

[ZooMad75]

You should scrounge it up and get it. You know it'll flip, esp if you only add a few $ for your troubles.

I should, but I lack the time and the spare funds to do so. Erie is about a 150 miles from me so it's a little bit of a haul. Plus I've got no way to carry it.

These campers have no floor. But they do have a back wall with the door that reaches to the floor. So there is no way to just set it on the deck of a trailer. Easiest way to move one is to bolt it on a blazer.

There's a Chalet in OK that's for sale, much work to do. $1,000 on FB Marketplace.

Even with the rotten wood $500 is a STEAL. Plus he wants to keep the Blazer which is a major bonus.

I was second in line , even offered more money. Barely missed it.

If I find one , I’ll take several pieces of 2x4 and screws and sawzall. Basically build a platform to bolt it to on site. Then add some straps and hope for the best. I’ve even thought about hauling the K5 to wherever I find a camper , then swapping on site , haul it all back. Either way , IM STILL SEARCHING FOR A CAMPER.

I've thought about doing that with a trailer. Key thing to remember is mount the camper backwards on the trailer. This way the rear door is facing into the wind. Otherwise that big wide opening is going to catch air like a parachute while driving.

I'm always looking so if another shows up I'll shoot it your way.

Have you considered buying one already restored? I have thought about selling mine and building one like America Mike did.

I built a dolly when I bought my camper. Bolted it down and strapped it to the flatbed trailer. Put in on with the door facing the tongue of the trailer. Make sure to secure the drawers. Almost lost one. Drove from Grand Juction, Co to Sedro-Woolley, Wa without a problem.
