Julie and I dropped a lot in elevation yesterday, drove down the hill, and visited the All Terrain Camper facility. This was our second visit since Jeff’s retirement earlier this year.
Marty was very kind and allowed me access to photograph, as I’ve had in the past. I can report that the facility is well supplied and the owner and staff are happy. It is a fun place to visit.
Long time employee, Chad, is installing the outside trim to a new camper in production.
The roof frame is completed and ready for further assembly.
I’ve always been impressed with the arch – for greater strength – that All Terrain builds into their roof. Note: the frame is upside down on the wood table.
Here’s the reason we were down at All Terrain Campers. Our camper is now 10 years old. It has been well used and well loved. But it has not been babied. A pet peeve of mine is product reviews posted after a very short period of ownership. Years back I decided I’d do my first detailed review after 10 years – a decade – with our All Terrain Camper. I asked Marty to get involved by taking a detailed look at the camper. I’m knowledgeable but Marty built it and knows so much more than I do. And, I know I’ll get an honest report.
The inspection started with the roof. Julie was involved too.
Most of you do not know Marty, but what followed is typical Marty behavior. He also wanted to know how the components he puts in a camper are holding up. Here he’s cleaning out the dusty furnace. He wanted to watch it ignite and operate.
He had Brad thoroughly check out the propane tank. Then he said he was turning it over to Brad and Chad to further go over the camper. And he asked if we could leave it – not that they saw anything wrong – but so they could really dig into an inspection.
It sure felt strange driving a naked truck home. Julie told Marty, “We just need it back before Monte turns 71.”
Julie and my review of our All Terrain Camper after 10 years will be coming……………
