SOLD - WilderNest Pop-Up Camper for Dakota
Looks like an ordinary bed topper/shell. The pickup bed remains accessible and usable. Stowed in the top six inches, however, above a zippered headliner, is the Taj Mahal of tent camping. Pops up and stows in less than five minutes.
The tent is nearly six feet tall at the center peak/ridge. Add that to the height of the bed and the height of the topper, and you've got nearly nine feet from floor to ceiling. You can do jumping jacks INSIDE your tent.
The topper opens like a book and hangs over the passenger side. Sleep two comfortably in the pickup bed; sleep two more comfortably in the "upper deck". Huge screened windows on both sides, and smaller gable windows (also screened) at each end of the ridge. All will zip up tight if you want.
The topper itself has sliding windows on the sides, and a slider up front by the cab. Standard liftgate window in the back. Lockable, and I have the key.
$750 and it's yours. Located in New Milford, Connecticut -- near Danbury. $1500 gets you this cool topper AND the 1992 Dakota LE Club Cab it's sitting on.
- strong-running 5.2 liter Magnum V8
- automatic transmission
- tow package with 3.92 axles and limited slip
- Class III receiver
- electronic brake controller
- all wired and ready
- AC, power windows, mirrors and locks, cruise -- all the goodies
- barely worn Michelin LTX tires
- new battery, new ignition coil
- alloy wheels (only two center caps, though)
The bad stuff:
Windshield is cracked. Paint is peeling off the primer on the driver's side. (Primer is well-bonded to the metal, though.) Surface rust on the roof where I tried to sand and repaint. Hasn't been driven in a year, so there's surface rust on the brake discs, etc. Brakes need to be bled, but there's rust around the bleeders. Brakes require TLC all around. Gas gauge never goes above half (common).
165K miles
Easily worth $2K even if you just part it out, without even counting the topper. $1500 gets everything.
