Re: C/30 Pics: Frame-Mount RVs
I'm curious what kind of power these things have. Can they pull a long grade and keep up or do they drag down to nothing? How bout pulling a boat or a car on a trailer ... is it even feasible?
We have so many hills and mountains out here I wonder how well they really work.

Re: C/30 Pics: Frame-Mount RVs
Nice one! Love those Chinooks. You'll make lots of friends here with that one. Welcome from Maryland from another drummer. (A rusty one)

Re: C/30 Pics: Frame-Mount RVs
Thanks for the welcome! Attached are the interior and problem pics. Bought this a few years ago and moved it into the shop to function as breakroom and office until I had time to use it (wondering when that day will arrive).
The po did a great job reframing the camper and interior (just wished he used oak or maple instead of redwood for the custom ledge he installed at the back window. 78K original miles. The cab interior is in new condition with original 8 track. 327 V8 4 speed with granny. Only real problem is the rust. Heavy surface rust on the frame and undercarriage and a big bad spot under the passenger side cowl vent leading down to the passenger fender. Hit the bad stuff off with a hammer and had quite a rust pile. My shop neighbors next door are great welders and metal workers. Hoping to purchase replacement panels or have them patch areas. Glad I found this site! |

Re: C/30 Pics: Frame-Mount RVs
I have a 71 C30 with a Franklin chassis mounted camper. I am going to break the 55,000 mile mark on it pretty soon. CG asked about performance....Just the camper it runs like a race car. I was passing cars the entire way up the Cumberland Gap pass without a problem. I have also pulled my 71 Suburban on a tow dolly and a 20' enclosed trailer filled with parts. It can be done, but you can really feel the 6000 to 10,000#'s it was pulling.

Re: C/30 Pics: Frame-Mount RVs
Actually the normal gas mileage is right at 10 mpg. Those 402's don't really change much loaded heavy or running light. I didn't check it for the last show because it was so close. Maybe I will see what it does with the trailer this weekend.

Re: C/30 Pics: Frame-Mount RVs
That is a clean camper you have there. That's would be a handsome rig to see going down the road with trailer in tow. It's true with big blocks,they like to drink gas just cruising empty,but throw a load on and mileage changes very little if at all.

Re: C/30 Pics: Frame-Mount RVs
I just sold my 2nd motorhome. One was 86 gm the other was 85 ford. Both big blocks and both got 6 mpg. So 10 mpg would be real nice. Ive always liked these old chassis cab motorhomes. Some day maybe Ill get one.

Re: C/30 Pics: Frame-Mount RVs
Those are really nice! In regards to mpg, it sure hope mine gets 10 mpg! but never have driven it fully loaded out. PO said to expect 10 mpg on average on highway. I have a 327 with 4speed granny 1st.
