The Craigslist poster calls it a Penta, but you can clearly see it's called a Pennant in one of the photos. Have never heard of this brand and can't find a thing about it. |

Someone posted a pic of one of these last year. We had a lively discussion about the dome in the back. I think we decided it was where the old man had to sit when he came back late at night and inebriated.

Not familiar with Pennant but Coachman and Arrow both made campers with aft looking domes. Don't think Gramps would fit in the dome though. The inside pics I have seen of such campers turned out to have a full width set of cabinets across the back. Guess the kickout was to keep headroom to a max to the rear of the camper. This camper seems to have a ventilation window placed on the one side that might indicate it could be a sleeping ledge for possibly anorexic campers or children. Perhaps the designers figured the little campers wouldn't break wind so much, if the dome faces to the rear. I believe domes break wind no matter which way they face...  |
