10k: Sandwich Foam: 1968 Chevrolet Van, Kamp King Koach
The first Chevrolet Van was built on the Corvair chassis with a rear mounted aircooled flat-6 and labeled the Greenbrier. However, the Greenbrier was phased out by 1964/1965 and replaced by the Chevrolet Van that used a more conventional front-mid engine setup. A regular Chevrolet Van is a great classic to putter around in as a work/weekender truck, but the a camper conversion is less useful, but cooler. Find this 1968 Chevrolet Van with Kamp King Koach conversion from McNamee Coach Corp for sale in San Diego, CA for $9,500 via craigslist.
The van conversion added a sandwich foam constructed house on top of the van body. Sounds like a winner…but the use of Kamp King Koaches trade name is questionable.
The seller includes a vintage McNamee Coach Corp flyer that calls this thing a Van-A-Home and includes specs. This 3K sleeps four with an optional two over head bunks for a total of six.
This thing looks a bit like the Eagle 5 (Lone Star and Barff’s Winnebago from Space Balls The Movie) and has a sweet pop-out rear section.

I don't know about you… but I'd figure out another letter to substitute for that final "K".
Add 4WD and it's good to go!
~ something about the rear end view looks disturbingly familiar.

I love this van.
Perry here. I hope it's made better than my Kamp King pocketknife was. I live in SD. I fully expect to see this someday driven by one of the many "motorhomeless" dudes that park around town.
I love it. That's why I tried to buy it in San Diego when it was listed twice for $800 bucks. The guy who beat me out has had it listed ever since but has now dropped his price from $15,000. Rarity doesn't always associate with high price. Matt in Reno
I didn't know how rare it was until after I bought it and started to research it. When I finally had to sell it I had no other similar vans to compare it to and thus determine an asking price so I started high (what I thought was high) and figured that I can always come down on my price which I did.
Perfect for Bombay Beach or Slab City, desert rat living!
