Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

nibulus · 04-18-2017, 04:15 AM

Since I couldn't find a picture thread for '67-72 motorhomes (only) and the camper season is lurking around the corner...here we go:

Please feel free to post pics of your own motorhome(s), finds on the interweb, craigslist etc.

Thanks for your contribution.

I will take some pics of mine as soon as it quits raining and I pull the tarp off of it, it is a 69 GMC Openroad motorhome,I bought it about 6 months ago

feller · 04-19-2017, 03:05 AM

I've been on the lookout for one, but I know it's going to be a lot of sucking up to the wife

Surprisingly, once my wife saw this in person I think she wanted it more than I did. When we didn't get it the first time we saw it, I caught her searching craigslist for another one! We've got 6 camping trips in it so far. Averaged 11 mpg over Mt. Hood to eastern Oregon for a raft trip.

Sir, that is one of the best looking motorhomes I've seen so far.

I seriously love those C30 campers (so does the wife). I hope I'll find a proper one this year...

**Chevyland** · 04-19-2017, 02:05 PM

I've been restoring this one.
Cool seeing other Chinooks above

Thanks!
I can take no credit for it. A man named Gary gets that. It's got 50,000 original miles. And everything inside minus the furnace is original. I am not ashamed to admit I paid $12,000 for it. At first I was sure I wouldn't pay more than $8,000. Then I got some good advice on this forum. after last summers camping adventures with my 3 kids, wife, and trusty Trigger the dog, I'll tell you I didn't pay enough for it!

That is SUPER, I say SUPER. 11 MPG is pretty great. I'd have expected 7-8. Quite a few of these posted are "desirable".

Awesome thread OP. I have visions of selling my travel trailer and getting one of these. In hindsight, it would have been cheaper and more better.

Awesome camper rig! Do you have any interior pics?

Pic of my 68 Open Road before I removed the rotten camper from "Homer's" back.

AWKS1 · 04-19-2017, 10:39 AM

Well, it’s too late, this its what became of the red one. I sold the body to a good friend and this is it now.

El Dorado Jim · 04-19-2017, 11:27 PM

there are some cool motorhomes you guys have posted, will have to post mine with the tarp on it anyway..then will post some when I uncover it...maybe tomorrow..

nibulus · 04-20-2017, 06:41 AM

Moving picture.

C30 river crossing

57Suburb · 04-20-2017, 09:28 AM

What should a guy expect to pay for one of these in unrestored but good mechanical condition?

nibulus · 04-20-2017, 10:11 AM

Classic academic answer: it depends.

I've been monitoring the (US) market for about a year and a half now. C30 motorhomes in good-very good condition (both mechanically and inside/outside) are usually offered for roughly $5-8.000. Many seem to struggle selling them, though.

For instance, this one has been for sale for a very long time now (C30 priced at $7.500, allegedly in "excellent condition").

I've seen a few go for more, but then the buyer seem to be a) liquid and b) very keen to have that particular piece.

The challenge is, one can get a full-size motorhome built on a C30 van chassis for much less ($2-4.000) in a significantly better condition. Thus, the buyer must really want a pickup-based motorhome AND willing to pay more (=minority).

Fords go much cheaper too.

57Suburb · 04-20-2017, 10:52 AM

Yeah, I don't live far from that one. I have it on my radar, but it's pretty obvious that it's not the original mileage as they claim. I'm in contact with them, but in my mind, they are about $2500 overpriced.

Take a look through the C/L thread I (and some others) post them when we find them. Usually only found in the summer.

nibulus · 06-22-2017, 12:38 AM

A nice '69 for $7.500 in Idaho. Click.

Rare! 1969 Chevy Open Road one ton chassis mount camper with factory patio door and fold down deck. I have never gotten so many thumps up's and people stoping by to check it out especially when at events and we were setting on the fold down deck! MPC even made a plastic model kit of this exact same truck/camper. first two pictures are when i first got it to show it with the deck on it. have owned for 5 years . selling to help funding to buy a piece of property in the mountains.mechanically sound runs very good. 350 with th350 transmission. original paint no dents or rust. Most of the paint on the camper has been stripped to get ready to spray. Skin has a couple areas that need repaired. Fold down deck and sliding back patio door is Factory original. deck is off right now as I was going to rebuild it. It has a slight bow in it. I use this 4 to 6 times a year and it never fails to start. Has a second RV battery in it with a battery isolator so you will never get stranded by leaving a light on in the camper. Tires are good I wouldn't hesitate to drive this across country. Very rare and hard to find in this condition. For more detailed information calls ONLY!!. Steve
