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...

ticki2, Thank You!
BTW, I've just been looking and reading about your C-11 adventures and rebuilding, all I can say is Wow! I wish I was younger, healthier, and sill had my 1970 Chevy C-30 truck and Avion C-11 so I could "finish it" the way I use to dream of (but never had the funds for). I don't think the camper was in very bad shape, at least no rot that I was aware of. It did need some things, toilet (flushing related) seals, a new "city-water" regulator, the oven wouldn't wouldn't stay lit. Stuff like that, but nothing major that I knew of. Well, the outside finish was pretty rough & the interior upholstery could have used updating although it wasn't tore up. The truck wasn't too bad for it's age either, but it did have a few annoying but minor oil leaks, the seat-bottom cover was trashed, and it needed all 6 tires badly. Of course there was more cosmetic and other minor mechanical stuff that likely needed attention, but other than the tires I had no fear of it breaking down on me, which is saying a lot about a truck that old, even in 1997 when I last drove it.
