1966 Welmade Enterprise Camper

23.7k Rymanx03  2 months ago

The 1966 Enterprise was an odd one in Welmade's history. A pickup truck and van, all on the same frame. Same power plant, suspension, and to a point, interior. But, even in its similarities, it always stood out in the crowd. Everyone knew by the cab what you were all about. Single? Hard work, no fuss, and grit. You could guess that it was probably pretty muddy inside. Crew? Utility, grocery getter, and a fun weekend machine for running with the boys. You could probably guess it was also pretty messy in there. Camper? A true outdoorsman, or a family roadtrip hauler with no quarrels against sleeping under the stars. Or, you could get away with guessing that some teen smoked a LOT of drugs in that thing at one point in time (not condoned by Welmade). Especially if it made it through the 70's.

Whatever the body, when you saw that badge, you knew that someone was going somewhere. Not only that, but that they planned on making it there no matter the weather. Be it the job site, grocery store or that much-needed getaway always out of reach, they'll be there on time.

Trim Level

This body style is for the real adventurer in all of us. None of that fancy motorhome glamping that these rich retirees call being outdoors. None of the difficulty or danger of having to hike all the way to your site. None of the struggle setting up your tent. Simply park wherever, fold the rear seats into the bed position (not simulated here), and enjoy.

This Enterprise also provides a larger roof rack, so packers and overlanders alike have plenty of space to store all their unnecessities.

So, controls. This build is tuned in for VR use, with Trim being the main throttle control (easily reconfigured, only the one engine and the gearshift to press a couple of buttons on) and Yaw controlling your steering.

Ag1, 2 and 3 activates all of your lights, not much else to say.

Ag4 and 7 opens your extras, 4 for the side and 7 for the tailgate / barn door.

Ag5 and 6 opens your driver and passenger doors, respectively. Be warned if you have motion sickness, as opening the doors will turn the seats outwards.

Part of the Enterprise 4-Pack.

    That looks more like a van with lots of seats to me. But it can still seem to be a camper
