The camper unit itself provided ample overhangs to install storage underneath. You can see the stock rear fender still under the boxes. Another unique feature was the welded wire pockets that stored leveling blocks to put under a tire if off camber ground was encountered at the camp site.
Driver's side rear compartments.
A similar configuration was on the passenger side.
Here’s a shot with all the lockable doors opened. A brass sash cord was attached to each door to hold them open if needed.
Here’s a handy little rod to help out in the rear of the camper. Access is in the top of the rear compartment. The brown cord you see is to provide 120 volt electric to the inside of the cab.
At the rear you flip up a fold down shelf, slide the wooden rod to the rear and you have yourself another fish cleaning station!
Rear view of the folding shelf.
This access door in the rear leads to a compartment that runs the full 10’ length of the camper. A “Most Excellent” place for all the fly rods!
Here’s the maintenance compartment. Another great use of a metal can! The gas filler had to be extended to accommodate the wooden boxes and oil and other necessary equipment was stored here.
Ahh, the spare parts compartment! I found a front hub and a couple of water pumps and such stored here.
Now here’s a state of the art, back in the day compartment! I asked what the wooden rod was for sticking out of the wooden box was for and John said that was put there so he wouldn’t forget.
You open the door, slip the rod out of the notch it was fitted into, and it holds closed a secret door.
To a storage compartment that holds a lantern.
That is connected to the LP gas tank stored in the camper.
Pretty cool aye? It mounts to a hook located on the corner of the camper.
