So the journey begins!
Hello everyone!
Very new to the world of campers and especially vintage campers. However, one always has to start somewhere, might as well do it right the first time. After searching the local craigslist hoping to find a gem, I may have finally found one.
It's a 1966 Avion C10 Truck Camper. I've spent time reading through the restorations of other fellow C10/C11 owners and I was hooked. This one was located about 80 miles away from where I live, so I contacted the owners and tried to get as much information as possible before making the drive.
Once I arrived, the camper was in the condition they said. The bathroom/shower was removed, they put a new vinyl floor in, and rebuilt the right-side wing. They put a different refrigerator in it, a microwave, and a free-standing AC unit. The stove is original and in working condition. Overall, it will need to be restored one day, but for now, I am going to freshen a couple things up and start living in it.
I purchased this unit as I'm about to move across the state to start a college program to become a certified flight instructor for helicopters. Instead of paying the high utility and rental rates (along with school costs), I opted for a slide-in camper. I'm excited to start this journey and everything it brings.
Once I get some stuff situated, I'll try to get some more pictures of the Avion uploaded!
