I've got a 78 Apache Roamer lovingly known as the To Go Box or Roamie.

We just bought a 1988 Coleman Columbia. Haven't even had a chance to camp in it yet.

How old does it have to be to be considered a classic or vintage?  I don't think mine fits into either.

1990 Flagstaff 617SD.

This was a quick overnighter in the Mined Land area of SE Kansas.  We were on the way to meet some friends at Big Spring Missouri for a float trip.

"My" rule for classic/antique.  Stuff my grandparents owned are now antiques.  Stuff my parents owned are classic.

I know in the auto world, 25 years was considered vintage.

Since my camper's 33 years, I'll say it's vintage or classic.

Our 86 starcraft might fit the time frame for classic but like my old 79 Ford that I had as a daily driver I would never think of either with classic titles/ plates. 

(always makes me think of nice fixed up cars with special plates that catch your attention.  We'd be more of the old beat up chevette with pop riveted rocker panels and the almost but not right colored hood)

Here's "Lady" when I found her

We have 2 1966 Westholt Cruiser models. We use one all the time;  the second Westholt was gutted when we bought it.  It is our project pop-up.  We are looking forward to having both on the road together.

Our PUP isn't a classic by any means, but I tow with an '89 Volvo.

I have a 1969 Nimrod Camelot Deluxe pop up. No manuals, VIN, anything. popuphistory.com is how I identified it. It has kind of a unique lift system wherein the roof raises (using a big spring) as the bunks are pulled out, one at a time. What's the difference between classic and vintage and just plain old? LOL

Currently trying to restore a 1967 Apache Mesa. Can't get the beds to deploy. Need a way to disengage them from the chain and sprocket system. It should be a quick restoration once I get the beds out of the way.
