Our camper and truck are both for sale, either as a unit or separate. Our only goal is to find a nice new home for both. They have been treasured companions in so many of our adventures.



Our build, ownership, and adventures have been well documented here on Wander the West from the initial camper build –



Building Our New Camper



to a detailed review after 11 years of use –



Our All Terrain Camper – A Review After Eleven Years of Use



The truck and camper are also featured on the Wander the West masthead above.



The camper was built in 2013. It is a little modified in dimensions from a standard Bobcat from that time and I built out the interior as documented in the build thread. The truck is a 2003 Ford Ranger FX4 Level II with 274,000 miles. It has been well cared for with repairs and maintenance as we’ve depended on this vehicle in so many remote areas.

The camper weight - as an estimate - is around 1000lbs when traveling.


First off – the dimensions of the camper. It is 69” wide (standard Bobcat is 72” wide). It is 51 1/8” wide at the end gate. The floor is the standard 80”. The bedside depth is 17” – if you have a deeper bed, some sort of riser/platform will be needed. The distance between the truck bed wheel wells is 39”. The measurement at the front – truck bed to bottom of cabover – is 41 ¼”.



The above links provide all the details you should need as to current condition and systems. Here are photos from yesterday with additional information.

The roof has Yakima tracks, one fantastic fan, and two 100W solar panels (total 200W). Last year all the screws were replaced with new.

The interior is built using the plywood ATC uses along with solid oak trim throughout.

Power is supplied with a Renogy 100ah lithium smart battery under the front seat. The battery is monitored (SOC, etc.) with an app on Julie's cellphone.

The 50-amp Renogy dual charge controller is behind the seat back (along with 2 charging ports to the right).

6 AWG marine wire is used to an Anderson 50-amp connector for the run to the truck battery/alternator.



The table is fixed in place for a side dinette configuration.

The three side storage boxes have 2” thick cushions fixed to the lids. For seat back comfort, we use our pillows.



Last April I installed a new Truma Varioheat furnace. It is excellent and we are very pleased in its performance (so much so I installed one in our new camper). The control and sensor are mounted on the cabinet face.

The camper has an arctic/thermal pack that we built.

A year ago, the lift panels were replaced at the time Marty at ATC installed the new headliner ATC is currently using.

Also, I used solid oak for the push boards on the ceiling.



The foam used by ATC in their campers is very good, but a few years back (Julie, of course has the receipt in our files, over $700) with high resiliency foam (firm). The seat and bed cushions we find incredibly comfortable.

The layout of the camper suits Julie and I so well, I’ve duplicated it all in our new camper. Bottom line, this is an excellent camper you can put right to use. If we could have made this camper fit to our new Ford Ranger, we’d happily continue to use it for as many decades as we have left.



The truck, although it has lots of miles, I’d still hop in it and drive anywhere. Off the top of my head, the front suspension was recently rebuilt. The 31x10.5x 15 Cooper Discoverer AT3 LXT (load range C – I’ve always ran C tires with no issues) are new from a year ago. It has new Bilstein shocks. It has a new Optima battery. Three (memory wise here) years ago, the rear axle was rebuilt. The latest engine oil analysis by Blackstone Labs was very positive. The engine does not use oil – although visually I can see weeping from the rear main seal. The 4.0L SOHC engine is known for timing chain rattle. Upon start up, the right bank chain rattles until oil pressure is up – a few seconds. I know this truck inside and out and have personally done the majority of maintenance and repairs. I will be completely honest about condition, concerns about the truck and the camper. Both have always been garaged when we’ve been home.



We are asking $16,500 for the camper. The truck – we love this old truck – unfortunately for us, is not worth much (age and mileage) on the automotive market. I ran Kelly Blue Book yesterday and got a private party range of $4000 to $7000 with the mid being $5400. We believe it is worth much more but that cannot be justified. We’re realistic about that and ask $6000 for the truck. Want both the truck and camper as a unit? $20,000.



These both – disclaimer time - of course are sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied.



Please contact us through a private message. Our location is Pollock Pines, CA on the highway 50 corridor on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada. Since we live in snow country and the new truck and camper are in the garage, the truck and camper are stored at a friend’s place down the hill below the snowline.
 
I’m volunteering to be on the committee that interviews prospective buyers of this fantastic camper and truck, as it should only go to a worthy home.

While that is humor, someone is going to get a wonderful rig.
 
When I first heard of your recent upgrade and decision to sell your old Ranger, I gave it consideration to purchase it to use around Rancheria Ardilla. Then last week I got my vehicle insurance bill for my two vehicles and the unexpected 35% increase to pay for the vehicles destroyed by hurricanes Milton and Helene ... :oops::oops:
 
I'm not a fan of current social media, like FB, Instagram and the like. I did join FB once in 2023 to sell my former home after I developed my acreage and put a new home on it. I joined under a pseudonym and gave no personal details. Within minutes my phone blew up with ridiculous offers and stupid questions, but I did sell it to the parents of a next door neighbor in short time. After that I deleted my account.
 
Greg, thank you for the tip but Facebook is a place we never go.
i get it. just relaying my experience selling a ATC. i was totally surprised at the increase in inquiries, and helped convince me to not just reduce the price.
i use a fb woodworking forum that focuses on sawstop tech, and it has been very helpful with saw advice, workshop, etc.
