Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos

I note that another poster has put up an Avion truck camper listed at $8995. When we first started this string I think that the average for a good Avion TC was around $2K to $3K. That's quite a jump in expectations.
Recently Jane and I were cruising the back roads near Marion, Kansas. We took a couple of wrong turns and came up on a shop with dozens of Airstream trailers in various states of repair. The guy, whom I met, went into business about 5 years or so ago and he sells through the internet as Airstreamguy.com.
Here is what was interesting. There were Australians and Germans walking around his shop in the middle of nowhere Kansas. They were buying Airstreams and shipping them back home. I talked to the guys and they had developed businesses of completely restoring the Airstreams for their respective markets.
So, I turned the corner and there was a C-11 sitting inside the shop. It was listed at $7,000 and had drawn the attention of the Australians since they have good sized trucks.
I was stunned by the entrepreneurship that was tapping into a worldwide demand for the aluminum crafted trailers - and now perhaps for the Avion TC.
The resale numbers appear to be rising...
