Yeah... There's one I've spotted driving a couple times here in Stoon (tried flagging him down, he just looked at me like I was crazy) and a buddy says he keeps seeing another going past his house that isn't any of the ones I've seen/know of. I've had to quit looking at the ads because it makes me sad I can't adopt them all, but I've been tempted to reply to some of them with just the Comanche Club url. It just feels too much like spamming.

don't just reply with the url, add a note with it. Like, if they say that such-and-such on the truck is bad, offer up the site as a way to help them fix it. :thumbsup:

 

This is why Pete is our ultra cool leader. Like Moses, creating CC.com to lead the wandering to the digital MJ promise land. Ye all have but to heed his words, less be staggered in the wilderness land of Canaan controlled by evil Philistines, Toyotas and S10s.

Hi, I own one of the 3 Jeep Comanche motorhomes For about 10 years now. It had 60,000 miles when I got it now has 80,000 I have put lots of love into fixing various parts inside and out replaced all the shocks Put a new radiator in it and replace the vacuum hose kit. I am considering selling it not sure what it might be worth if any of you may be interested please text me 7609370596

Ok guys, I now have 2 of the campers so where is the 3rd one?

#2 is being delivered from our neighboring country next week (back in the US finally).

 

Last I heard #3 was in North Carolina, If so could someone get a contact number for me...

last digit VIN #s 90 and 91 so the last one should be 92

So you're getting the one Pete posted with the ...90 VIN?

Was this the one he mentioned?

 

This one is a mess, it has to be towed here (unknown cost at the moment and we are diligently working with DMV to get it across the border) I did find that the VIN numbers are sequential as they were all registered the same day in 1990 as they were auctioned off. The first one I bough has been registered in California all its life, the one I just picked up was last registered 1998. Waiting on a lost title now. 

Vin Numbers first one  1JTMR65U5HT106491 (at my shop)

Second one 1JTMR65U5HT106490

Both are Identical MJs Laredo package 4x4s

All original Comanche campers that were built were the same and have a manufacture badge with 2 Vin numbers Camper and truck, some knock offs were made and registered as truck only. Original title naming by DMV was "Automobile House". Holloway Debraal was the commissioning company (money behind the deal) New Horizon supplied the campers, (looking for the Toyota alternative due to axle and rim law suits). Holloway Debraal files Chapter 11 and the BK court seized all assets to pay creditors. 

The 5 proto Types (yes 5 were made) were finally sold at auction in 1990. The trail goes cold after that and the court sealed the records.

 

The 2 I have, one has original 83k original miles pristine OEM condition, the other one coming has 200k, (if the odometer is correct).
