Our New 1968 Travel Queen
Alright - We have our camper, now we just have to make it ready to use. Should we have gone new, or newer used? Perhaps. But what we found was too cool to pass on. Here was our opportunity to join ran...

I'm only mentioning these issues early on, so you don't end up wishing you had done it different, later. 67Avion is speaking truths in how threads like his and potentially yours really take off, in popularity.
Dave Pete, I looked through your album. It looks like great stuff. You might consider posting pix directly on the Forum for several reasons. First, the reader has to find the link to your site. I see that you put a link in the last post, but it may not happen all the time. Second, the images are not described in the album. I didn't look real carefully, but I wasn't sure which of the campers was which.
Many of us have used a narrative style where the pictures are part of the post with full descriptions. Also, a poster mentioned a method for keeping the posts coherent. The Avion TC thread is hundreds of pages, and somewhat difficult to search. Luckily we have posters who know much of the thread and can give out page numbers. Thats a great thing, but not to be relied upon.
I wish I had a better answer, but I don't with the given mechanics of this site. We need searchable strings. If you put "black water tank avion" into the search box, it returns nothing. But we have discussed that a dozen times - at least. So that is where we are.
I can assure you that good photos, clear text and exciting restorations generate a lot of interest. Its partly because the vintage RVs carry a certain nostalgia for an America that is slowly fading in the past, and its also because people are interested in something that is "authentic" and unique.
Best of luck.
While posting in Photobucket is fine, it does become just a dump of Pictures. 67Avion, 69Avion, WYomcuttergirl and garyk6 provide sooooo much more on their narratives. It shows they put effort in their postings. As does another, doing a ground up build, Jfret (I think)
Page listing only works when you are on the "same page." When you join the RV.net Forum you have choices in how your pages are displayed. Thus the pages are not even close to what you might be looking for. Then compounded if you sign in from
A different Portal (Woodalls, Trailer Life and more).
