It is a 1984/5 Toyota pickup with a 1985 Dolphin camper on its back. Mom and Dad always took good care of their things, and passed that on to me, but I cannot believe how well this little camper is preserved. I know my parents, and camped with them all my childhood, so I know for a fact that Mom cooked three times a day for Dad. Sandwiches for lunch maybe, but I'm sure there was always coffee and probably soup. Then the catch of the day for supper. So, when you see the stove you will not believe that she spent years of camping trips cooking in that camper. 
In this one I am standing at the door looking toward the back of the camper. The galley on the left, the bed in the rear across the back, closet over and to the right of the bed, then the bench and table on the right side. 
This one looks the other way. Back to front. The driver's seats are all the way front and a step down. The overhead bunk is low, so I usually go out of the camper to get into the driver's seat. You can see the over the cab bunk bed, where I'll be storing my easel and art supplies. To the left and beyond the table is the bathroom, which has a potty, shower and sink. (Not a large space.) It is my hope that I can drive someplace in Colorado and just sit there for several days. Hiking, taking sketches and pictures. Maybe read a book. Mostly just being outside in our beautiful state. (And higher than here. It is currently 3:20 p.m. and 101 degrees.)
Of course I'll have Gizmo with me. It will be interesting to see where he will settle and call his own. It will be different. I don't plan on, or especially intend on using KOA's. Will first set my sights on the valley where Hans is and settle in there for a while.
I guess this it. Hope you like my little home away from home. I'm sure it will give me a lot of pleasure, as it did for Mom and Dad. Now if I can just take as good a care of it as they did ...

I love your camper!
When Jim and I first married, I never understood the draw. Now that we have a babe it's much more appealing! I have thoughts of getting one and driving it around the country and showing Reagan great things. Maybe someday.
I would suggest heading southwest, but I'm partial. Durango has some fantastic spots. They have some neat camp grounds in the national forests that are near streams and, perhaps most importantly, not KOAs. :) Have fun!
Well, thank you. I think it is going to work out fine. But it is small. We always camped in a tent. This motor home was Mom and Dad's when they were older. (That means no kids.)
You have got to be kidding, southwest ... it is hot there. Even worse than here. North, cool, that is the only direction to go!!
Actually I'm looking to head for Gould and the Routt National Forest. (Above the Poudre Pass.)That is where Hans is, and where he/we always went to hunt.
Thank you for stopping to say hello!

A person necessarily help to make critically posts I

Fantastic task!

Thank you for your comment. I enjoyed your Campervans. They are certainly easy to pick out in a crowd! Very nicely arranged inside too. Wishing you good luck with your business.
