I also replaced the tie downs that were rotten.

Gary they come with diagonal tie rods to take
the sway out when the stablelit is off the truck.
In other news, the Facebook group continues to grow; currently at 24 members. A few of those members are searching for one of these fine campers, so hopefully they will join our ranks. To assist in that, I've been scouring the internet trying to help them find one. As I write this, I've been able to find 13 C10/C11s currently for sale across the US.
I have around seven more months to go before I'm able to move back to Kansas and start back on my C10.

Thanks! Wasn’t sure about that piece.
The PO and I had been using the brackets as the tie down. I think the roads and rough travel that I have put the Avion throug nor having dedicated separate tie downs may have lead to the final failure. As shown above in the previous post. I intend on using the sandwich method and may add an interconnecting plate to tie the wing to the upright of the tub.
More later!!

Congrats on your Facebook Group, unfortunately I don't do Facebook so I will be a member in spirit only. I sold my Dodge 3500, so at the moment my 65 C10 is immobile. I am contemplating mounting it on a trailer, but not sure how that will look. So you might be able to add mine to the list of 'for sale'. I really hate to part with it after almost 3 years of work and never used it.
Oh well

I've seen a handful mounted on trailers and it doesn't look bad. I believe we had a member in here that had his mounted on a trailer, I remember seeing it during this archival process, I believe it was 69 Avion.
I am currently working on modifying my trailer...so I/we will see how it looks and works out hopefully soon.
One issue I am undecided about is the overhang at the rear that sits lower than the main body,( i cant remember what it is called). I am undecided if I should attach spacers to the camper or build a platform for it to sit on. A platform would seem simple enough however i am concerned that I would then have to deal with not only the platform moving on the trailer,but also the camper moving on the platform.
As always suggestions are welcome
