What's inside of our Avion C10?
Overall it's in pretty good condition, especially compared to other 50 year old truck campers and maybe 50 year old campers of any type. It's a Center Dinette model which doesn't seem to be as common as the Side Dinette layouts that seems to be in most of the Avion truck campers I see around the internet. All the original appliances are there except for the hot water heater and toilet which have been removed by a previous owner. The dinette table drops down and the seat cushions can be arranged to make a second bed. There is very little evidence of any water damage, just a little at one corner of the front window. The floor seems to be pretty solid except for a few inches that that will need attention just inside the door, and the wood door threshold itself will need to be replaced. Our first impression is that it has a lot of storage areas for its size, especially in the overhead cabinets and a wardrobe of sorts in the cab-over bed area. There are also deeper storage areas under the dinette seats and a "compartment" that reminds me of the ones in the Millennium Falcon in the dinette floor that would be good place for a toolbox or heavy cast iron pans. The woodwork is not banged up but will need to be refinished, in a few few places some of the cabinet veneer will need some attention. The original speckled interior wall paint is intact but fairly dirty, once it's warm enough to work outside we will have to see how it cleans up to decide what happens with it.
