The Tequila (or rum ) in Terlingua sounds great to me, As my C10 (affectionately called Armadillo) really needs to be seen to appreciate it's 'carried' functionality.
And I for one will have to see Argo..they say, seeing is believing, and I want to believe that beauty.

Oh....Grand River will be welcome too.. [emoticon]

Lets do this

Well Rasta, if you don’t object to mixing Carribean cultures up a bit, I’ll bring the mint for the mojitos!

Actually that’s “Caribbean”, but you get the idea...

Makes me tired just looking at it...
Does anyone know how to interpret the serial numbers on the Avion builder’s plate? And how many Avion truck campers were actually made before the change to Cayo?

In the upper left the Serial Number has S-67-1022 Which I believe means San Jacinto October 22, 1967

The Model is 2182DC10G Which I have no clue as to its meaning.

The Coach was manufactured in San Jacinto, California and bears a lower tag that certifies the heating and electrical systems.

This is the sort of thing that Ticki has usually informed us about...

I think the 1022 on your serial number refers to the sequential number of your unit . Most likely they started with 1000 that year , so yours would be the 22nd made . Not sure about the first 5 digits in the model but the last 4 would be C10 goucho . In 68 they changed the system . My 68 sn is FH004 ,F=6 , H=8 , 004 is 4th produced that year . The model is simply C_11 . It says in words Benton Harbor . I believe 1970 started the Cayo era .

'68 Avion C-11
'02 GMC DRW D/A flatbed

If others chime in we should be able to narrow it down better.

My builder’s label says serial number FI 083. Model number C-11.

Kind of hard to see - it’s dark here just now.
My title says this is a 1968 or 69 Model.
Any idea how to interpret these numbers, ticki?
