I tend to agree with the OP on graphics, especially the company names. I saw a class C on a Mercedes chassis at a campground in Kansas that looked like a road kill pheasant on steroids. It had flying graphics all over it proclaiming the name of the camper - "Siesta Sprinter" and Mercedes. Its not my cup of tea.

Ironically the most famous truck camper is Rocinante, the vehicle John Steinbeck used in his search for America in 1961, "Travels with Charlie". As Steinbeck wrote, "“I wanted a three-quarter ton pickup truck, and on this truck I wanted a little house, built like the cabin of small boat”. It was a GMC rig with a Wolverine camper.
Compare it to the "Siesta Sprinter" and you'll see where we have gone in the last 50+ years.

Having said that, I am happy with whatever people choose. The point is to enjoy yourself....That's what we do with the 67 Avion which has two small badges along with conspicuity tape for safety.
