Just when you think you know what is coming next from Menards they come up with something unique and different. Mark and crew job well done. Another home run..................Paul 2
Very nice and fun, but still looking for those warehouse/small manufacturer flats for the business district serviced by my railroad.
Open Season? I can't see if there's a rack in the back window of the pickup with a shotgun, just the same, I assume the Critters are keeping a sharp eye out for the dude who's camping out?
Mark, The Menards Train Guy: When will we get the Road Kill Cafe?
Now that is very cool! I don't know if I have a place I could put it, but if I do it will be ordered! Great job Menards and Mark!
Rumor has it that inside the camper is a very small, secret brewery! LOL
I can understand having lights inside the camper, but why would you want the car's headlights lit? In what situation would this be normal ? Is there a visible driver inside?

Looks like a secluded meth lab to me.

You know, you could be right. Just might be a staircase leading down to it underneath the layout!
One of my guesses was correct.

I'm stilling waiting for this:
Now that is an absolute necessity !
Trailer is similar to the Hallmark Christmas ornament.

The answers to both are in the description Menards posted earlier.

We thought of that. Actually, to be completely prototypical for this vintage of pickup, you’d only light one headlight, as the other would always be burn out! But then they would all be returned as defective! After all, no good deed ever goes unpunished. 😊
There is no driver visible because this is Camper Vic’s hideaway. Let’s remember that this is for fun, guys!
Thank you, Mark the Menards Train Guy

I second that!!
I think this is cute little accessory suitable for a layout that has a small unfilled area. The lights for the truck are on, because Vic needs to charge the battery as it has a habit of running down due to the clock on the dash and some electrical draw from the radio.
Anyone with an old car can relate to this as those clocks and radio's would draw the battery down over time. 
This camper would look great park along side the Allegheny River. Anywhere between Freeport and Warren.
I am guessing truck is a ‘53?
Mark,
There are complainers for everything, just let it slide. Its a great little accessory with very little cost.
To those who don't like the lights on the truck! Here is a thought, don't PLUG IT IN. Problem solved.

2 questions first is this, one of their normal size trucks, and can it easily be removed so I could put a different vehicle there. ( I wouldn't want two of them with the same truck
Learn the difference between a complaint and a question. It's not hard.
This was a "just in time" accessory, as wife and I just installed a waterfall that kinda looked out of place. So we will rearrange some layout things (advantage of not having buildings wired up) to place this right next to waterfall.
As to truck you could always black out one headlight or leave whole thing unplugged for daytime or imagine owner was in bed (lights out) dreaming of that big next fish catch or 10 point deer! 
Duh No! If the lights are out they are not BRILLIANT! They are Dark! LOL
Since we camp I thought this would be a good addition to my layout. I modified a few things though. I removed the flamingos and put a fire pit in its place. Added a stack of firewood near the fence with additional wood in the back of the truck. I am still working on the surrounding area around the campsite.

Just picked up the campground (after a glitch with Menards not notifying me that it had came into the store). It fit right in and we just stuck in our trees into the pre-drilled holes. Later we will add shrubbery around the base to blend it in to the layout base.
Happy camper!
