Product Description
--In search of the ideal camper, Charles Chuck Platter of the United States devised a new design in the late 1960s.
――His idea was to put the body structure on the standard Jeep CJ5.
――However, with a short wheelbase jeep, it was impossible to create a structure that greatly protruded from the rear end.
――So he added a dedicated axle for the living room and sleeping space so that he could fit the body of the camper.
--The single-axle camping structure, which was made exactly to the dimensions of the rear part of the Jeep CJ5 series, could be docked and transformed the Jeep CJ5 into a camper.
――The interior of the camper was not less comfortable than other campers at that time.
--Also, thanks to the long stanchions, it was possible to use the camper without connecting it.
――By doing so, I got some advantages.
――Jeep owners can not only use it as an off-road car as usual, but also enjoy the camper freely without any restrictions, and this special camper was considerably cheaper than the normal camper at that time.
--Jeep Kaiser, which took over the licensed production, improved the body for the camper in a short period of time and started mass production, and from 1969 it became available for purchase at an authorized Kaiser Jeep dealer for US $ 2,198. rice field.
