nice camper. I'm curious if anyone knows what the price was in 1974 for such a camper.

[Bob Miller]

According to the original sales literature, my 1973 Hunter Compact-II (A more deluxe model), was $2495.00 (about $13,100 in 2014 $$$) when first sold at Meeks RV in Union City, CA, in November of 1973 including:

3 burner LP cook top
cold water system with kitchen sink and holding tank
AC Lighting
AC Outlets
Dinette/Full bed
LP/AC refrigerator
LP Tank
Pop-up top
Bathroom w/marine toilet & holding tank

I have heard that the base price on the Compact-I was $1795.00 or about $9400 in 2014 $$$.

Thanks for putting the information together Bob, that was pretty interesting.

Bob,
Yes, loved your info on pricing. I've got the Compact II, also, but the original owner in '73 must not have had the inclination or the money to put the marine toilet into the small privacy room...I believe this option just cost $39 extra to be installed by the factory!
Did they only make the 3 Hunter models for only 3 or 4 years, and if so, was the Compact Jr the first, the Hunter I the second, and the Compact II the best and the last?
I listed the Jr as first, because it has the least going for it. Other than the largest bed, there's not much there...not even the beautiful diamond vinyl upholstered walls and ceiling, no privacy room, no side window awnings, and I think the closet was dealt away, too.
Would love to hear more.

I haven't a clue about which came first. I have two brochures on the Compact-II with no mention of the other two models.
