THIS INFO ABOUT THE FRAME IS FROM A March 16, 2018, ad:

“THIS IS A FRAME FROM A 1970 JEEP CJ5 CAMPER. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I BOUGHT THE JEEP & CAMPER IN 1970 NEW IN SO. CALIF.

WE MADE A MOVE TO OREGON IN 1990 & I DISMANTLED THE CAMPER BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING BADLY & MY THOUGHT WAS TO BUILD A NEW CAMPER ON THE FRAME. I NEVER GOT TO IT. I SOLD THE JEEP A FEW YEARS AGO & NO NEED FOR THIS FRAME.

THE CAMPER WAS MADE BY EL DORADO CAMPERS IN RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA. THEY MADE CAMPERS FOR PICKUP TRUCKS & THIS WAS EQUAVALENT TO AN 8 FOOT PICK UP CAMPER.”

    I have read all the attached threads and even followed 2 more…. and I still dont understand how the heck this works?

    Does it bolt solid to the backside? Or is it on some kind of pivot like a pintle? If the top is attached by the windsheild hinges how do the back wheels not bind up?

    I’m confused yet slightly aroused…. (pun intended)

    John, you are not alone, it is bit illogical.
    The subframe is under the back half of the camper. The front half goes in the bed between the rear fenders.
    The hitches have multiple components, that rigidly lock the sub frame to the jeep. No horizontal or vertical movement. The camper and jeep are locked together.
    Hope this helps. Brian
    Look at the CJ Camper website for more info.
