1961 Apache20 Motorhome - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kerber63 · 05-23-2014, 05:29 AM

A guy moved in down the street from me and parked his motorhome out front with a for sale sign on it, so I decided to get nosey. I went down and talked with him today and snapped some pictures. 283 with factory barrel shroud, 3 on the tree, deluxe heater, custom comfort seat, original rubber mat, no rust. The 10' box was made by Royal Coach Manufacturing in Santa Rosa. According to a rep. Ser#88992 means it was the 2nd box produced in 1961. It's a pretty cool time capsule. Enjoy!

He said he was looking to get $3700 for it. I don't know how long he's been trying to sell.

TJ's Chevy · 05-23-2014, 11:18 AM

That's a nice truck! I think 3700 is a fair price.

Do I see a "Come on, MAN!!! No love" in the top left picture, upper right hand corner of a 1960-1966 C10? Kerber could that be your 1963? Haahaa

Nice find.

Revelation · 05-23-2014, 07:48 PM

i'd be happy to give around $3,300 for it. I'd love to find one of those closer to home.

Wow good eye. I didn't even see it lurking back there. Can't see it but the 'burb is in my driveway across the street. It's like I'm running my own classic lot. Sorry pimpston.

Okay good because if that wasn't yours, I was going to jump in my vehicle and start searching the streets...lots of trucks to pick from. Haahaa

Let us know if you buy it! I looks like it's been taken care of.

It's not quite my cup of tea. But it is in excellent condition. Previous owners have obviously cared for it.
