Last month, we set out to definitively chronicle the history of automakers offering camping packages for their vehicles, either as factory specials, options, or accessories. It was a fun exercise, and as we expected, our knowledgeable readership responded with a few more that are worth mentioning.
We’ll start with reader Lew’s mention of the slide-in camper available for the Studebaker Wagonaire, a camper that looks at first glance like the aftermarket trunk-mounted campers for sedans of the 1950s and 1960s, but that took advantage of the Wagonaire’s sliding roof section. Andy Beckman, the Studebaker National Museum’s archivist, was able to not only turn up the hi-res photo above but also a brief article describing the camper combo, which debuted sometime in early 1965.
