Greetings from Vancouver, BC, Canada! I have a rare beast. I am still learning how to use this site, it doesn't seem to like the photos I am attempting to upload. I will post a google album later. What I have is a very hard to find model - usually these have pop-top tents instead of a slide-out. It is built on a '90 Toyota LiteAce CM65, called the Campmate. Here are the specs: Engine: 73hp/96ft-lb 2C (Diesel) Trans: 5 spd on-the-tree, 4WD Hi/Lo on floor (front hubs locking) Chassis: Truck RV Conversion Stock: steel body, fibreglass hull, separate shower and kitchen sink w/60L tank, 12V lighting, 12V fridge (no propane), couch that splits into a twin bunkbed and an extra large queen foldout bed, 6 ft slideout (2x 3 ft stages), folding table and seating for four. Modifications since landing: 100W solar panel w/50 ft lines, 30A solar charger, propane (1 lb bottle) hot-water-on-demand heater, 12V water pump w/50 ft hose, LED lighting w/remote, secondary battery bank (total 360A/hr), 110V inverter w/third battery bank (150A/hr lithium), FRAM air filters, and a whole lot of elbow grease. Future Plans: Restore everything to original condition (almost there, just need to replace awful green carpet on slideout). I spent a few years looking for the right one; most are gutted or missing parts. This one is almost all original and was covered in some awful attempts at painting... It still needs a fresh coat of paint but I might just do a wrap. Long story short, it has been difficult to find like-minded people in my area. I have joined a few facebook groups but found most of the members are overseas, only in the southern US, or located much farther than I can travel on a weekend... I hope to find a tinkerer, someone not afraid of trying to modernize a vehicle without losing its character. Anyone in my area?? Here is a photo of one similar, my rig has different colour trim.
