Thanks for your contribution. ;)

I will take some pics of mine as soon as it quits raining and I pull the tarp off of it, it is a 69 GMC Openroad motorhome,I bought it about 6 months ago

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

I've been on the lookout for one, but I know it's going to be a lot of sucking up to the wife

Surprisingly, once my wife saw this in person I think she wanted it more than I did. When we didn't get it the first time we saw it, I caught her searching craigslist for another one! We've got 6 camping trips in it so far. Averaged 11 mpg over Mt. Hood to eastern Oregon for a raft trip.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Here are a few pictures of the ones I've owned over the last 25 years.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Sir, that is one of the best looking motorhomes I've seen so far.

I seriously love those C30 campers (so does the wife). I hope I'll find a proper one this year...

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

I've been restoring this one.
Cool seeing other Chinooks above

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Saw this one at an antique store in Indiana. 65/66 grill

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

there are some cool motorhomes you guys have posted, will have to post mine with the tarp on it anyway..then will post some when I uncover it...maybe tomorrow..

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Moving picture. ;)

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

What should a guy expect to pay for one of these in unrestored but good mechanical condition?

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Classic academic answer: it depends.

I've been monitoring the (US) market for about a year and a half now. C30 motorhomes in good-very good condition (both mechanically and inside/outside) are usually offered for roughly $5-8.000. Many seem to struggle selling them, though.

For instance, this one has been for sale for a very long time now (C30 priced at $7.500, allegedly in "excellent condition").

I've seen a few go for more, but then the buyer seem to be a) liquid and b) very keen to have that particular piece.

The challenge is, one can get a full-size motorhome built on a C30 van chassis for much less ($2-4.000) in a significantly better condition. Thus, the buyer must really want a pickup-based motorhome AND willing to pay more (=minority).

Fords go much cheaper too. ;)

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Yeah, I don't live far from that one. I have it on my radar, but it's pretty obvious that it's not the original mileage as they claim. I'm in contact with them, but in my mind, they are about $2500 overpriced.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

I am keepin it on my list also, I think it's really pretty nice - but to be honest, when it comes to actually buying one, I prefer a TH400 and 71+ for factory disks. As much as I like wrenching on trucks, the less wrenching I have to do on a motor home to add disks or add a/c or swap an auto trans, the more time I can spend actually using it. Ha. Cool truck. So, if the seller ever frequents this site, he now knows at least three people are looking and will probably raise the price! Quick, delete this thread! :lol:

And I agree, this one is a little overpriced, but it sounds as though it's quite negotiable. Prices are relatively low anyway for what you're getting for your money because the market for them is so small - most folks don't have room to leave a class c motor home lying around the property. I'd have to kick multi vehicles out into the cold just to get this one into the barn for an oil change - if it could even make it thru the door.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Yeah, all the little details I had in the back of my mind too. ;-)

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

You guys read my mind. If it'd be a -71 or -72, it might be worth $5.000. For me.

However, for that one I'd offer $4.000. Judging by the pictures (only), you'd need to invest about $2.000 in it to have it road- and campingworthy. Depending on one's standards/needs, of course. It'd need at least a new set of tires and loads of technical attention. The gas and water systems might be real money pits.

I'm a bit price-sensitive though, since I've probably seen too many good ones for $5-6.000... Registered and ready for camping.

But now we're drifting off-topic.

Here's a bit more of camper love. BOOM.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Thanks!
I can take no credit for it. A man named Gary gets that. It's got 50,000 original miles. And everything inside minus the furnace is original. I am not ashamed to admit I paid $12,000 for it. At first I was sure I wouldn't pay more than $8,000. Then I got some good advice on this forum. after last summers camping adventures with my 3 kids, wife, and trusty Trigger the dog, I'll tell you I didn't pay enough for it!

The day we got it. In laws we're watching the kids. We Told them we were going antique shopping. Pulled up and dropped the deck. It was a big hit!

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

I'm super jelly. That is exactly what I want. :metal:

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Yeah. Exactly like THAT. That's what I'm looking for... very nice. When folks post, please list mfgr details if you happen to know them, am always curious!

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Another positive way to look at the purchase is that it will probably be one of the only RV's in your town that is actually going up in value every day, every year....rather than down.
That certainly doesn't happen with the new ones...which start to devalue pretty quickly.
....and that constant gain in value helps offset some of the gas costs that the older units are challenged with...lol.
So darn it....get out there and enjoy that thing!....it looks great but you may spend half your trip fending off campground fans...lol, not that that is a bad thing.

All Good

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

beautiful rig!!!! makes mine look crappy, but you get what you pay for.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

What a beauty, is that a sliding door on the back?

Greg

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Yes it is. The original open road Monterey came with a 4 piece rear slider. Both center sections opened out. PO had 2 problems with that. 1 it was hard to walk by the table and get out. 2 his Harley would not fit through for toy hauler status!

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Nice rigs! :metal: Wish I could find a nice one that wasn't all the way across the country....:(.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

this one was on cl a few months ago - wish I'd looked into it. Did contact seller, but she didn't seem to be too into selling it - wouldn't take any additional pics, ha! Anyway, wondering if a member ended up buying it - 72 C20 Cheyenne Custom Camper in dk olive.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

THAT is just cooler than the other side of the pillow. ;)

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

That is the coolest one I have ever seen. I love that sliding door and the deck.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

Sad one. I snapped this picture about 10 years ago. It didn't look like it was that bad until the wrecking yard got a hold of it.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
 

i just bought this (you can ignore the pickup) 1967 rancho el rae cabover camper. built in nephi utah. it's surprisingly complete and functional. doing a little cleanup and getting it in good working order. i've tried researching it but it seems to be really rare. i can't find a single picture of another one on the internet! if anyone knows anything about them i'd love to hear! it would be awesome to pair this with a 67 pickup.
