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...

Garry, I hear you about jacking the camper on a windy day, especially the gales you get up there. With the interior gutted, mine was so light the wind really shook it on the stands. I leave it in the bed of the truck as much as possible. Have fun on your outing.
67 Im game for an Avionista meetup but things are too up in the air at the moment for me to commit to any time or place.
Muley Point is both a metaphorical and physical destination to me. In the metaphorical sense, I think I will be there soon. Meaning the camper should be completed to the point of usefulness in a week or two.
Muley Point, UT as part of the 'Grand Circle' has been my physical destination since the beginning. I've been past it dozens of times, camped Monument Valley, climbed Mexican Hat, but never knew it was there till reading about it on this forum. This camper was made for winter boondocking in the desert southwest.
That said, its looking less likely that I will make any westcoast Avionista rally this year. Just too much to put together a cross country trip on the heels of this huge project. Time, money, the usual. It didn't help that I used travel funds to buy a new LP furnace for the camper yesterday. If you're gonna race up the road to Muley Point, you gotta know when to hit the brakes!
Unless something changes, Florida is a more realistic goal for this year.
Rastaman, can you turn up the thermostat a bit? 43 isn't gonna cut it. Sounds like your getting it done, plumbing can be a real pain. BTW I have the original sink/faucet/shower from my C11 but the chrome isn't great. I put propane to the new range, works well enough, easier than my Wisperlite.
Ticki, Im not sure what those doors are all about. There were a few doors under the kitchen counter that were particle also. The others were ply but all veneers seemed to match? If no one wants them, Ill get rid of them. My buddy with the Ultra said he'd take the face frames.
Silver just go ahead and rub my noes in it...."finished in a week or two" yeh yeh big deal :-)
Hey I am all in for a Florida meet up now that our fearless leader 67 has suggested it...I am sure he can sought out the scheduling.
as a matter of fact if I could get you down here my C10 would be done in days....btw any idea if your faucet doesn't leak? I may be interested, however looking at mine I dont think they can be rebuilt,
I ordered the stove....should be here soon.
If you are down here in Florida in the summer, you will be eating those words.
67avion....we plan on heading down to Terlingua in April, (close your eyes picture the desert....I know you are tempted...come join us)
