Product Description In the late 1960 s, American Charles Chuck Platter came up with a new design in search of the ideal camping car.
His idea was to put the body structure on the standard Jeep CJ5.
But the short wheelbase Jeep could not extend far beyond the rear end.
So he added a special axle for the living room and sleeping space to accommodate the camping car body.
The single-axle camping structure, accurately made to the dimensions of the rear part of the Jeep CJ5 series, could be docked, transforming the Jeep CJ5 into a camping car.
The interior of the camping car was not less comfortable than the other camping cars of the time.
Also, thanks to the long strut, the camping car could be used without any connection.
There were several advantages to doing so.
The owner of the camping car could not only use it as an off-road car normally, but could also enjoy the camping car without any restrictions.
Moreover, the special camping car was much less expensive than the regular camping car of the time.
After taking over the licensed production, Jeep Kaiser improved the camping car body in a short period of time.
It went into mass production and from 1969 it could be purchased at Kaiser Jeep authorized dealers for US $ 2198.
The body could be docked with any CJ5 produced on the production line since 1955.
In 1969, a total of 336 buyers wanted to travel in the special camping car body of the Jeep.
By 1970, this special body was out of the model range of the Jeep.
