The Amerigo truck campers are a fixer uppers dream come true. I have heard about a person who buys the campers and restores them.
He has some problems with the nap and snap sags from time to time, but he finally overcame that problem and is now on his fourth truck camper with great results.
I know he bought one in Rhode Island that needed restoring and then he sold it to another person in South Carolina.
You can take any year camper, a 1997 or a 1998 and use the same configurations and plans for each one. Restoring truck camper shells back to camping condition takes a little hard work, but this something that a majority of people enjoy doing. I know a few people who do this as a hobby and make a little money on the side.
If you like to camp and a pop-up trailer is not for you, the truck camper is idea for people who prefer the confinements of the truck. It is spacious and the pop-up top adds to the room you have inside the truck camper. The nice thing is the fact that you just stop anywhere and open up the back door and have access to everything you need for BBQ’s or resting while out on the road.
The Amerigo truck campers are around if you just look. You can find a new or used camper online or in camping magazines. The years vary and so do the prices. If you find one with a great exterior and in need of help inside and the price is good, you could also fix it up yourself to be what you want. You would always have a special little camper to travel and camp all over the country.
