California Sighting--cool old RV
Visiting my sister in California saw this cool old Ford Econoline RV. Anyone recognize it? Wish I could have seen the inside.

We owned this 1969 Chinook Class C (?) for several years. We called it a "chassis mount" style RV back then:
- Built on a GMC 3500 chassis with the 350 engine
- Three kinds of lighting - 12 volt DC, 120 volt AC, and propane
- One piece fiberglass roof
- Propane furnace with no circulation fan ... easy on the battery
- Designed with no park gear in it's automatic tranny ... put on the emergency brake, block the wheels, and cross your fingers
- Could crawl through into the coach area from the cab
- Large wrap around window all the way across the back and around the corners for a great view when eating or sleeping there
