Hi!
My husband and I are currently popup camper owners. We purchased our pup about a year and a half ago and we did a complete floor remodel as it was leaking and had some pretty bad water damage. While we love our pup, we also love the idea of a camper we don't have to set up and can access easily without having to set it up in 100 degree weather that south Louisiana so graciously offers us 😀.
Since we pull with a 4 door Jeep Wrangler, we also have to be careful of how much we're pulling. I pretty much had my heart set on a scamp as our next camper until I came across a fb ad for what's listed as a 1962 Flagstaff. Now, I know it's not a Flagstaff as my research tells me they weren't produced until the 70's. I'm pretty sure what I'm looking at is a Monitor. Title has it listed as hmde (homemade)? I do know that it originally came from Indiana.
Unfortunately, Google was pretty much useless when it came to looking anything up about Monitor Campers or the company that made them. (So if anyone has info they can share on this topic, I'm super interested!)
We're going look at the camper tomorrow. They only want $500 and I'm told that it's only had 2 owners. This will be our first full restore if we decide to purchase. My husband is extremely handy, but I'd appreciate any tips of what to look for tomorrow!
Here's a link to the listing (it's not sold).
