Reader Alan Auty sent us pictures of his 1975 Woodsman 4×4 RV. I had never seen one before! The unique rig is 20 feet long and is powered by a 2 barrel 360. The transmission is a 727 with a full time transfer case. The front is a Dana 44 with no hubs. Inside, there is a shower, three way fridge,furnace, factory air on motor and a hatch back rear door. He has to put the table down to fit his 16′ canoe inside, but it fits. The windows on the roof should be tinted bubble type, but Alan is still looking for replacements. He has been told of other Woodsman but but is still waiting to see one or even a picture of one. Have you seen or heard of a Woodsman RV? Anyone have any photos?
Hello. I like the pics of the Dodge Woodsman, but not sure about that rod holder. I also have a Woodsman. I am currently upgrading mine to a 440 with part-time 4×4. I will have her on the road in the summer of 2010.
Thanks for commenting Brian. Do you have any photos of it? I have never heard of a Woodsman until Alan sent me these photos.
I can send a couple pics, but how do I do that?
Brian, email me at weskibble@offroadaction.ca Thanks again!
Woodsman’s were neat rigs made by champion home builders co, in the mid 70′s. These two are first I seen to survive.
Thanks for the photos
Hey Dave,
Thanks for the information.You have an interesting website. Do you have much more information on the Woodsman units?
Not much is known about them. I did not think many suvived. I have seen two in junck yards but never on the road before other then a couple owned by members of our club. It is good to see more of them around.
I do have some literature but no manuals on them. So more info, from one of our cfo members….
Champion home builders co, only made about 500 total of the 4×4 woodsman’s and only about 50 or so had the lift up door.
correction the lift up door was the most built one, only 50 were like the modern toy haulers with a ramp type door. I have yet to see photos of these.
[...] x 4. Check out the rear flip up door for loading motorcycles, canoes, kayaks, large friends, etc. 1975 Woodsman 4×4 RV! – Off Road Action | Off Road Action Another Woodsman 4×4 RV! | Off Road Action __________________ 2008 Sandstorm, [...]
