Got a glimpse of this ? Avion ? just before they got underway the other day in Upstate NY. I think it had TX plates. A long way from home!

Very neat working vintage unit in classic location. Just a quick chance to grab a photo. Hope this is where it belongs.

Oh yeah, looks like its in great condition. I've got the gaucho as well ( I think). Its a pleasure to see these classics on the road. We'll have to form a caravan at some point and visit Garry up in Alaska

A classic TC in a classic location, WalMart. The only way to make it better is use a classic truck.

That camper would look great on Whisperides' new '68 F350 dually or Dak's old 70's F250. If it were mine, I'd put it on a '73 F350 Super Camper Special.

That is for sure an Avion C-10. It is the gaucho version, since there is not a water heater on the passengers side. The gaucho model had the hot water heater on the drivers side. That is a very clean unit. It even still has the single center jack on the pass side.

Very nice for sure!

I'd sure like to fix one of those up some day but unfortunately, I'd have no place to store it. Still it's fun to look.
Is there any website specifically for the Avion TC's?
