Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos

ARGO, THE ALL ALUMINUM CAMPER- INSIDE PICS
Welcome to Argo!
I glued 2 layers of 1/2” foam board inside, did the wiring and then spray foamed the last layer to seal everything up.
The new skin with its protective plastic film.
Building the interior framing for closet, bath, counters, and so on
The curved wall of the bath is inviting.
Shaping up the galley counter
And the dinette side overhead cabinets.
Teak cabinetry complete, to match the two yacht doors I found at a marine recycle shop and that were a perfect fit for the bath and closet.
The finished galley with a Dometic stove and oven.
Hydraulic lifts on the overhead cabinet on both sides
The dinette makes a single berth
Which converts to a dining area
Using an ingenious Scandinavian mounting system
To create a comfortable dining table for two
The junction between the cab and camper has been padded and upholstered
The closet also houses the Propex forced air heater.
A self-contained Dometic Curve toilet.
The faucet pulls out from the sink to create a shower bath. The light is waterproof.
The cabinet is a repurposed attaché case...
The water system is double filtered. A demand water heater is under the galley.
Water storage is in two custom 20+ gallon bladders,, one on each side in compartments just forward of the rear wheel wells.
And there you have it. Five years and many thousands of dollars later, my Avion C-11 has become a custom Class C 4WD adventure vehicle.
Would I do it again? Wrong question. The right question is “How far is Muley Point?”
Thanks to everyone who has offered help and support over the years. I hope I may do the same for other Avionistas coming up.
