| Scout Camper Photo*Interior Photos From Jim Allen: "1963 Scout 80 Deluxe Camper, showing the cooking area. The Scout Camper was a collaboration between International and Fibertron (a division of Dickson Boats). A partially stripped Scout 80 chassis with select options was shipped to Fibertron and a camper body was installed. It came in three configurations, a commercial version, which was just an empty shell designed for cargo, the Standard camper and the Deluxe camper. The Deluxe had a kitchen, dinette and toilet installation. The sides dropped down to make a pair of bunks inside tents. It was a very innovative idea but major quality issues and very low sales volume doomed it to a production run of under 100 units. The idea was conceived and developed in 1962 and production started in December of that year and continued sporadically into early summer of 1963 before it was discontinued." |
