In 1970, as ownership of the Jeep name was in transition, this camper edition was offered for CJ5 or CJ6 with the V-6 powerplant. The Dauntless engine was 160 hp and its lightweight V configuration allowed for less weight on the front end and greater fuel economy.
According to the sales literature, in could take you to the ‘boondocks” for hunting, fishing and easily run back to town for supplies. It slept 4 and had a kitchen, toilet and running water.They even pictured two kids peering out the front window of the camper while driving. (A really SAFE practice- NOT) Of course, there was no other place to ride as the Jeep was still a two seater.
Its hard to believe the strain this weight must have put on a small CJ and I doubt many were sold, but it was another foresighted effort to find uses for the Jeep.
