I'm thinking early/mid 60's? I thought my family was first class in our 12' Scotty until we saw a Dodge at Myrtle Beach.

The distinctive taillights make about a '64.

Yeah it is an earlier dodge moho. I think they had a 318 motor. Those Scotty's are collectors items now. We had a maybe 1966 Forester camper. This picture was taken in 1967. The other photo just after this one are of Echo Canyon in Utah, so I'm thinking this photo was taken in western Wyoming along I80. The wagon was a 1965 Chevy with a 327 powerglide. I recall the rear differential burned out and we waited to get that fixed and my dad was telling me as the mechanic who had it on the lift was filling it up the rear end with coca cola. What he actually was doing was filling it up with oil from a empty coke bottle with a spout on it. The other improvement made on the trip was my dad had an additional transmission cooler installed as that old Chevy was pulling hard and really heating up over the Sierras. We went all the way from Des Moines Iowa to Disneyland and up the coast to Canada and back east to Winnipeg and back down to Iowa that summer. The next long trip we did was back up to Winnipeg and then headed east across Canada and down the US coast and back along the Ohio river valley. That year my dad bought a brand new 1970 Chevy wagon with a 300hp 350 with a 3 speed automatic in it. He installed a tanny cooler on it before we hit the road. I helped him put it on in our garage.

Tamrock - Love the Coke bottle story! It's funny the odd things we remember from childhood.

We also had a '65 Chevy wagon. Never a camper but I spent many nights sleeping in the back while travelling from Texas to Illinois to visit grandparents.

All this brings back so many memories!! We had a 63 chevy wagon. Most of the interstates were open but we still went the old way it took FORVER to go 200 miles to the coast!!

I'm guessing this is not an old family home movie... What are you watching? National Park Service film?

 

[HuntinDog]

Yeah... Those were the Days.
No seat belts climbing from seat to seat, fighting with brother.
Dad yelling, Mom smoking, all the windows rolled up....
How did we survive

And your sister wining about being carsick. Yep that's the way it all was, before the academia's of today saved us from all our ignorant redneck perils. Who can't love someone else doing all your own thinking for ya.
