To add a little bit here. Think of Commer (as in commercial, not sure if
that's why, though) as kind of the GMC of Chevy. Mostly trucks and the
like. The campers were also in the US and some are in the Ohio-Indiana
area. They were sold as Funwagons and I believe Bluebird (of bus fame and
in IN) was somewhat responsible in the mid-60s. Fully equipped with beds,
stove, etc.
