DEBUT #1: Coyote RV Debuts Custom Ford Raptor Camper
Robby Rowe is up to his usual unusual custom truck camper tricks again. This time a Coyote RV customer requested a special black on black camper to match his black on black 2010 Ford Raptor SVT. The result is one dark and handsome truck camper rig.
The Ford Raptor SVT is designed for the high-speed off-road desert rigors of the Baja 1000 where the truck finished third in it’s class. This may be the first matching the Ford Raptor has had with a truck camper and the combination should make for a very capable off-road rig.
We would really like to see this rig at next year’s Overland Expo. How about it Robby? Bring the Zebra and the Raptor to the Expo!
DEBUT #2: Coyote RV Debuts the Avalanche Camper
When we visited Coyote RV in May, Robby was hard at work modeling a truck camper for a Chevy Avalanche. When we left, he had just started to construct the model in wood to see if the shape and design was right before framing the camper in aluminum for the final build.
Now six weeks later, we’re looking at the finished Coyote Avalanche Camper. Together with the recent Zebra and Raptor, the Avalanche is something of a hat trick for Robby.
While this remains a one-off custom camper, Robby did indicate to us that he’s interested in building more Avalanche campers now that he has a proof of concept. With nearly 600,000 Chevy Avalanches on the road, Robby may be onto something. Nice work Coyote RV!

Just as John Steinbeck traveled with his dog, Charley, Andy travels with his dog, Guinness. Andy and Guinness, featured in the TCM article titled, "Andy and Guinness Spedden: Adventures in New England", found us earlier this month while we were on a factory tour at Aluminess. They are currently on a California adventure in their Northstar truck camper. While in Salinas, they visited the John Steinbeck museum. They sent in the following photos and information:
"John Steinbeck's Museum is at One Main Street, Salinas, CA 93901. It has the actual truck camper he had built to drive through thirty-seven states with his dog, Charley. He wrote the book, Travels with Charley. At the museum, they have things from the movies made from his books and lot of history about his life and times. In the same building they have the history of the Salinas valley farming, which is all for one ticket price. Go to www.steinbeck.org to learn more about the exhibit."
We know that the RV Hall of Fame has a truck camper from the early days and that the Steinbeck Museum has John Steinbeck's Wolverine. Our question is, "Do you know of any other museums that have truck campers displayed?" If you've seen a truck camper in another museum, please

and let us know.
Thank you Andy and Guinness for sending this in.
