Vicki’s Westholt Tent Camper
At the Popup Portal Rally at Dead Horse Ranch State Park last April, I was given the chance to see Vicki’s Westholt Tent Camper. I had no idea these campers existed before that rally, but they are really cool.
They were made in the mid-sixties and are a great example of mid-century design. See more about her camper and a video tour of a 1964 Westholt after the break.
Here is an old advertisement for the 1965 Westholt Tent Camper and Truck Camper.
Vicki was very nice to give me a tour, but it was really dark, so some of the photos are a little blurry.
We were all camping at that rally, so the inside of the camper wasn’t car show ready, but it’s amazing. It can easily sleep six people: four on this side.
And two on this side. There is also a small galley by this bed.
This table can be used inside or outside.
I was amazed at how little trailer stabilizers have changed in the last fifty years.
She replaced the tail-lights and they look really good.
I had to take a picture of the name of the camper or I was sure I would have forgotten it.
In the light of day and all packed up, her rig looks amazing!
Here is a video tour of a 1964 Westholt. It’s in desperate need of editing and was filmed vertically, but it does give you a good idea of how the camper works.
It was so nice to see such a well-preserved piece of trailer history! Thank you, Vicki!
