That is very cool. What is it? Die-cast? Plastic? Scale??? And what do you mean, he sent it to you? Did you paint it? Did you paint something else and this is a thank-you gift? I would dig having a camper or two....

HEY NEWT..5TH WHEELER IS STYRENE PLASTIC JUST LIKE KITS ARE..CUSTOMER SENT THIS TO ME TO STRIP & PAINT A RACE SCHEMED THEME ON THIS & THE DUALLY..DID A SET FOR HIS UNCLE A WHILE BACK IN CAMO.. SCALE : ? IT FITS PERFECT BEHIND THE 1/24 DUALLY..DIMENSIONS ARE : 15" LONG X 3 1/4 WIDE X 3 1/2 TALL..1/24 SCALE FIGURES WILL FIT INSIDE, NO PROBLEM..INSIDE IS COMPLETELY EMPTY EXCEPT FOR A WALL SEPARATING THE UPPER BEDROOM...PRETTY COOL TO DECORATE YOURSELF (ENTIRE BOTTOM UN-SCREWS FROM BODY).. CUSTOMER GETS THE CAMPER FROM A WHOLESALER @ $60.00 A POP..DOESN'T SOUND TOO "WHOLESALE" TO ME BUT, HE'S FOOTING THAT BILL + THE PAINT JOB...HE CALLED ME LAST NIGHT & SAYS HE'S SENDING 2 MORE ..

Very Cool !
I'm surprised that the model companies have not kitted any tow-behind campers yet.

YEAH, I'M SURPRISED AS WELL...TRIED TALKING A RESIN CASTER IN TO DO THIS ONE WHEN HE SENT ME THE LAST ONE..HE SAID IT WOULD COST ME A HUNDRED TO MAKE THE MOLD & JUST THE BODY WOULD BE $40.00 TO $50.00 EACH..PROBABLY A LITTLE RICH FOR MOST OF US GUYS..? ON ANOTHER NOTE I HAVE A GUY CNC MACHINING A COUPLE OF VINTAGE '60'S PULL BEHINDS RIGHT NOW OUT OF .040 MM STYRENE..THEY WILL BE AROUND 20' IN 1:1..THE GUY DOING IT, IS AS SLOW AS OLD PEOPLE RUN...
