Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos
Without going into too much painful detail, we had a mishap several week-ends ago. While working with sand bag crews on the Mississippi River, the truck and camper fell into the flood waters as a road...

Avion C-11-- I have been sitting on the sidelines just being a Fly-on-the-Wall but want to get more active so here goes. Perhaps you know this or not but wish to begin by saying how beneficial your efforts to document your work and the photos have been to my understanding and planning for my project. I have known about Avion TCs for many years as my Father-in-Law has one back in RI but we are on the Oregon Coast. Well happened to pick up a '66 vintage C-10 last summer locally for a good price but, as should be excepected, "requiring some work". Well having access vicariously to your project has both motivated me pursue renovation of mine and given invaluable information on what goes into such a project-- many thanks for both.
OK- now for the specific reason for this post: have you considered what you will use to re-foam the interior? I see in past posts that most are using "rattle-can" spray foam (either minimal-expanding or expansive type depending on area) to patch dug out areas. I came across a source which looks to be a good kit to replace large areas-- "www.sprayfoamdirect.com/products/spray-foam-kits"; they have several but the "Green Spray Foam" appears most applicable-- the kits are not cheap but neither are individual small cans and appears the control and final results would be much better with this material. One potential aspect of the spray-can type foam I have seen is that some (all?) are not "closed cell" which means that over time I would be concerned that the area would absorb moisture from various potential sources-- condensation on interior surface, leak (hopefully not but potential), etc. What are you planning to use and/or have you seen the product in the above link and your thoughts. Anyone else using something similar? Thank.
