Doesn't seem likely to me, anyway...look at those back wheels!

I can't imagine how on earth it would drive with them spread so far apart...

But stranger things have happened!

Perhaps it's an early version of Coyote RV's P.U.L.S.E.?

Search the Truck Camper magazine site for a bit more info.

Found this image on the web. The caption said that it was a "brand new" 1969 CJ-5 with a camper option. The Jeep had rolled down the hill in the Petrified Forest according to the caption. I think the image is authentic, but with the web you never know.

Yup totally stock...in fact I know that Jeep in the picture, a local. It was bought by his grandfather almost brand new and was given to him a couple of years ago. It needed an almost total restore and he sold it.

His grandfather also had a rare Scout 80 factory camper. I bought it from him in early 2003, but lost it to the "Old Fire" that fall. Here is a pic of one.
