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...

Ah GREAT...there are still a few of us hanging around in here..
67Avion...So sorry to hear about the damage your unsinkable Avion had. It has certainly taken a licking, but as you said it will be back.
67avion 2.0 ...or is it . 3.0 or 4.0 :)
I am embarrassed to admit in public that still after 7 years of ownership we have only ventured out once for an overnight trip with our Avion C10 :o
But to my defence 2-3 of those years were spent doing the rebuild.
This year was going to be the year that the maiden voyage was supposed to take place, however with the gas prices, plus the fact that I went out to Terlingua, Texas and retrieved the 1974 Terry Taurus 19' Travel Trailer that we have owned for the past 19 years, that was sitting on our property out in the desert, (under cover) and brought it back to Florida, (as we are thinking of selling the property).
I spent January- June doing exterior repairs and minor interior stuff along with updating electric and plumbing, then threw on a coat of fresh paint...Looks awesome now.
However...That has created a huge problem. We are planning an extended trip early next year for a couple of months. Hence the problem....which camper do we take? The larger more comfortable Taurus, or the more compact Avion? (on the Trailer, which allows me to take the motorcycle to explore remote areas, plus I still don't have a truck that can carry the Avion). I feel like I am cheating on the C10 with the TT...ah well.
