I know alot of you guys like camper C10 trucks. I don't think this one comes with a truck though. Maybe someone is looking for a camper to put onto their truck though. Not mine. Just thought I would share.

I saw something very similiar to that not too long ago on Cl here in Dallas or Houston for about half that price.

Interesting. I don't know anything about these old campers. The price seemed kinda high to me, but you never know.

Cool camper, wait till Mike chimes in on how much he paid for a similar camper.

A little high priced for such an old camper but I remember those. It was one of the best makes.

C-10? It is a job for a 3/4 ton Custom Camper people.

**FleetsidePaul** · 01-09-2010, 05:04 PM

I'd like to have it on my C20. I'd buy it if I had the scratch.

My words exactly.You may get away with some campers on a C/10.But,not an Avion or any other with a full bath.I think this is a reseller who doesn`t know what a C/10 is.Like the newbie truck owners who refer to their truck as a Silverado.I`d still refer to my new truck as what it is,by the weight class,no matter what the advertising approach of the week was.If this seller ever had it on a truck it wasn`t a C/10 and he wouldn`t be suggesting it would go on one.This would also explain why he`s asking so much,as well as all the hype about it being the nicest one.Call the Smithsonian.I hear they`re starting a truck museum.

And...I wonder how long this guy would want to actually live in that thing.It`s a totally cool camper.But,you can buy a hella travel trailer used for that money for something to live in and unhook it in minutes.
I`d buy it if I could,too.

The model of the camper is C-10 fellas. They also made a C-11 if I recall.

In Avion speak it stands for Cabover 10' long.

I'm a huge fan of Avions, I've restored a 30' r bumper pull. Avions make an Airstream look like junk in comparison to construction quality.

A mid 80's Avion triple axle 34'er ran about 45k at the time. Sadly, they went the way of the american walmart mentality.

First thing I thought when I read this was that people were going to get the C-10 confused with the truck model. Everyone is stuck in Chevy land here.

I am sure a C10 CL search is how he happened across it. lol
