Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
This is the only picture of my "mini camper" rig I had when I lived in the Flagstaff area (Mountainaire). Picture was taken in '80 or '81 in Page, grabbing some goods at the store before camping/exploring in Moab.

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
Any standard camper (floor about 48" wide) should work in a step side with the proper box length. Problem is, most campers have doors inside to access all that valuable storage space remaining in the bed.

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
My three "current" favorites are the Alaskan and Four Wheel pop ups and the Travel Queen hard side.
Here is a very nice slighly later 10' Travel Queen in all its period round top glory.

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
Check out this 1967 Avion recently sold on eBay. It's previous owner is also selling a 1970 GMC 3/4 ton 4 x 4 CST that was posted a few days ago. There's a picture of the truck in this listing also.
Does anyone have the patience to transfer the listing photos to this thread for future reference? I'd try, but my right hand is in a cast for a couple months. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Avion-C...p2047675.l2557 |

Oh man. Oh man. I LOVE that thing. Have seen several El Dorados - and have seen a few in the original Chevy camping sales brochures also. Very cool - thanks for all the interior pics. Thanks for the inner-Alaskans, have never actually seen one on the inside. Now I know why you like em so much - pretty nice inside and a unique look outside. THANKS for all the interior shots. Believe it or not, if I ever want to take the spousal unit camping, it's gotta have a crapper and a shower. Nothing I can do about it, it's just a fact of life... Thanks again - these are some great pics from everyone. ![]() |

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
I keep finding these cans, and a few others, in my planter. Please cease and desist!
![]() BTW, my camper shell is as old school as it gets. It was installed when the truck was new, and has been on there since...1970. I'm going to have to rebuild it myself. When I retire at the end of this month, I will have time. I plan to make it a cab over, with a flap in the front that lowers at speed to keep rain out. I have yet to fix the drip rail around the roof. The only thing that saves me is that global warming has kept the rain out of California, thus keeping the corrosion under control while I did not own it.

Re: Period Camper Tours - show us!
This is my 1971 11' camper. It was my first Chevy truck and the camper came with it. 49,000 miles. Still have the camper but the truck rusted away around 115,000 miles. It sat in the green 69 longhorn for a summer but was never on the road then anymore. I can hook you up with the owner of the camper if someone is interested.
