Richard:

You may want to consider an out-of-town subscription to the Rocky Mountain
News.  Or perhaps their classified ads are now on the web, even.  "Four
Wheel" Campers were made by a local Denver company, so there are a BUNCH of
them running around town.

In fact, I believe that there were two of them at the 98 RMIHR, and if my
memory is not totally worthless, I think one of them was for sale.  They pop
up periodically in the classified ads (pun intended) -- usually for sale
with the truck attached.  They replace the entire top of your Scout II, so
having a "cab-top" is not a requirement.
