According to the seller, this 1975 Dodge Woodsman 4×4 camper is one of only eight made. There were several versions of Woodsman’s produced over the years, but apparently, the 4×4 version with a bare aluminum body was very rare. This one can be found for sale here on eBay with a current bid of $5,100 and the reserve hasn’t been met yet. Located in Simi Valley, California, the interior has been stripped which gives the new owner a clean slate to finish it to their needs. Let’s take a look at the interior and thanks to Alex for the tip on this cool classic camper.
The ad says the interior was completely stripped down to the frame which was sanded and coated with a rust preventative. New beams were laid on the floor topped with 3/4″ marine-grade plywood that has been covered with Tyvek wrap and sealed with a marine wood sealer. You can also see spray foam has been shot on the walls and a new layer of aluminum covers the floor.
This RV only measures 20 feet end-to-end, so some space-saving build techniques will need to be implemented during the design of the interior. With the trend of tiny homes and “Van Life” a ton of ingenious ideas are available for anyone building a project like this one. What are some must-haves if you were completing this RV?
The base for this rig is a 3/4-ton Dodge 4×4 pickup chassis. It features a 318 cubic inch V8 with only 22,600 miles on the odometer. The engine is backed by an automatic transmission and is said to drive well. Overall, this is an awesome project if you’ve been looking for a unique RV/tiny home. What do you think?
