That is one of the most compete C-10's I've seen , even has the TV antenna . One would be hard pressed to bring a lesser one up to that condition for that price . Someone will make a good buy .

Here's another C-10, and I do not recall ever seeing this configuration. it appears that it may have been modified at a later date. it gives a much bigger bed/seating area, but then if someone needs the bathroom they are climbing over each other. A little cheaper, but needs more work too...

Those are Awesome!!! I keep thinking one of those would look great on my 77 CC dually. I wish I could get my wife to go for a TC.

That was a factory option , it was called a " Custom Front Dinette ".
Another almost compete C-10 minus the cushions , which almost everyone has redone anyway .

It can be an effort to convince your partner that this is a comfortable and reasonable way to camp. But, send along the wonderful travelogue of SeldomSeenSmith that is in this Forum today clicky


While it isn't impossible to enjoy these areas with a trailer or a 5er, it really is quite different, and downright romantic, to get away with the TC. Ask our other resident TR maven, The Great Whazoo.

Very nice looking examples. Neat layout in the first one too.


Happy Camping!

I have seen most of The Great Whazoo's trip reports, they are truly spectacular. We now have a 22ft TT and my wife thinks its to small, there is no way to convince her at this point. Hopefully it will be easier when we retire and do not have young children around. We only have 30 years or so until retirement. [emoticon]

Ticki, that is a terrific brochure. I've never seen it before. Is there any way to scan it so that it reads out a bit larger?


See if this is any better [image]

Ah yes, Ticki, the last line says it all: - you don't spend money for Avion Quality. You invest in it.

Actually I'm not sure what that means but it sort of sounds right. At any rate, I'd love to see the entire brochure and it also mentions a "full-color-and-sound film". Wonder if thats still around. We could stick it on YouTube.
