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...

Howdy!
I thought these campers were made for traveling
not just tinkering!
Im not sure, I'm gonna have to look into that... lol
There is more snow on those bikes than we have had here all winter!
Sunday morning update...
My shower drain setup left me an inch short of getting a Hepvo in there. The shower drain kit is actually for a bath tub and came with a nice stopper so I'm going to hope that works for now. If not Ill just construct a small trap from street elbows or something.
I would like to keep the interior lightweight and am using a mix of solid cherry and 1/4 birch ply. With all the rivets in here, I dont mind letting a few screw heads(all stainless) show if it saves me lots of time. Laziness, honestly.
I dropped the grey tank and gave the underside of the camper 3 coats of Rustoleum Aluminium(seemed fitting and was the cheapest color). While the roller was wet, I decided to try this color on the bustle. The roller gave a nice texture that hides many flaws and the color is good enough for this year.
The rear bustle trim has not been installed yet.
Probably should have thought of this before but I extended the overhang to Queen width. The cherry board has a dado to accept and stiffen the plywood extension.
The original sink and new range in a repurposed stainless table top.
New pegboard assembly. I might even drill a few holes in my new overhang extension to provide additional airflow.
Running the original overhung cabinets through the 'copying machine'.
The original face frames only needed a refinishing but wouldn't match the new interior. Some of the doors are done for but some could possibly be refinished but they are veneered particleboard.
Free to a good home. I would preffer not to have to ship them, especially the frames but realize its probably inevitable.
