Four Wheel Popup Campers in Ford Broncos

[offroadaction]

Stan, thank you for taking the time to respond. I can totally understand your reluctance to do custom work.

You can find them used on ebay & craigslist.

Craigslist in Colorado is by far the BEST place to find a used one.

They are awesome when fixed up !

Stan,

What year did Four Wheel Campers move to California? I have a Scout camper - do you know when the last one of those was made? Any idea of how many?

Thanks in advance!

On a full size bronco (78+) they are even better. Check out this thread... http://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/...ad.php?t=82181

If you have customs ideas, we always wecome you ask to see if we might be able to do it. Sometimes we can do them, sometimes we can't. If we do something like go from a 48" cabover out to a 54" cabover we are going to need to retest the strenght of the cabover, build a longer soft-sided liner, re-do the jigs for the roof framing, re-work the arctic pack measurements, etc.

The last Bronco Model we built here in the shop was here for almost 2 years. We won't be doing that anytime soon. We lost money and the customer got a smokin good deal for a ground up, custom built camper. Good for him, bad for us.

Would some of the standard models work if the customer wasn't interested in a pass-through? I understand there would be fab work on the angle between the vehicle roof to front camper bulkhead on both K5's and FSBs, but is the wheelbase that different between the regular cab/shortbed and the Bronco/K5?

Phoenix Rv will build a camper for a box style bronco or anything else you want a camper on.

The guy that owns it is the family that started 4 wheel campers so they have been doing it a long time and are really reasonable in their prices. However you do get what you pay for if you want a prevost then pay for one. I see people dog their campers on the forum here and there but the bottom line is they are half the price of a Hallmark or outfitter, and they will build it anyway you want where no one else will do that. My personal opinion is the structural quality is there (welded aluminum frames) but the fit and finish is not that of a Tour Bus. But for me I like to camp and enjoy the out doors so less money spent having top of the line counter tops means more money spent going somewhere I have never been before which is the point of a camper for me anyway. Good luck with your search.

Damn, I'd almost forgotten my first truck, a 75 Bronco. I would have killed for a site like this back then.
