Trailer: 1970 Boler

Don't laugh, there is a guy in BC that has a Boler mounted to the back of a 3/4 ton truck. It looks rather odd.

I wonder about the economics of any motorhome. Purchasing a new motorhome of any kind seems to me like a big loss. Depreciation has to be huge, let alone all the maintenance.

Just thinking out loud.

Looks quite a bit like the molded fiberglass Roamer truck campers. It would probably be cheaper to modify the back wall of a truck to allow entry into that type of camper than getting the one piece featured here. Roamer's website is http://www.roamerrv.com. I get the impression they are a small shop that thrives on word of mouth.

Edited the earlier posts to add the Roamer website link.

Elaborating on what I said earlier, I'm thinking it would be more economical to go the Roamer route than trying to retrofit an old Scamp moho shell atop a newer truck. When the truck dies you just move your camper to a differnet truck; hopefully a more modern, more efficient truck.

after having many pickup campers and two moterhomes over the year I would never go back.

the 25' Sunlite and the 13' Burro are much nicer to travel with.
You find a park leave the trailer behind and sightsee and get around with eaze ( or as much eaze as you can in a Surburban )

Our trip to washington state and oregon would not been near as enjoyable with a moterhome.
