Camper Built On An Old Car Chassis
![]() |
About the only part of the Hudson still intact is the dashboard, which is original. Caltvedt hired out most of the camper's construction, which includes a corrugated metal exterior, rear escape hatch, and a roll-out side awning for shelter during cookouts.
The plywood and plastic interior contains a bed, sink, shower and toilet.
The homemade camper is powered by a . 318 hp. Dodge engine and is equipped with a Chrysler rear end. It gets about 12 mpg and cost "just a fraction" of a similar-size commercial RV. "It attracts a lot of attention in campgrounds,"says Caltvedt.
