Don't know if Wiki is right, they say that the "Camper Special" was dropped in 1982:
«For the 1982 model year, [...] the free-standing Camper Special option package was discontinued, functionally combined with the Trailer Towing package.».
That is wrong. The Camper Special was still a separate option in 1982. They did however drop the camper special badge on the front fenders.
