Jeep Camper
What can be said, in late 1967, through 1970, and guys these numbers are hard to find, but Jeep made a factory option of a camper designed for the CJ5. Yes a over the cab camper that was so long it had a set of tires mounted under it with it's own suspension, to help carry the weight. Jeep suggested not selling it with anything but the V6 with 4.88 axle ratio to handle the load.
There has not been a lot of stuff written about what may have been in the camper but we do know it had sleeping for 4, propane stove, sink, water tank and an icebox, options were a refrigerator and a 10,000 btu heater.
Knowing the size of a CJ5, I can only imagine the space inside.
It is very rare to find this option still in a rebuildable condition and are highly prized when found. Pictured below are several advertisements for the option, notice 2 are of the same pictures with different backgrounds, I guess even the advertising department found them rare to photograph.
