Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Have Travco, Will Travel

What a great place this forum is;  it's polite, it's literate, it's respectful.
I'm relieved to have found it.


I am divorced (I'm not doing that again, thanks ;0) ), definitely not retired, but really, really not going to sit around until some arbitrary time for fulltiming kicks in.


Does anyone else have an antique rig?  I have a 1969 Travco 210 I bought from the original owner's daughter.   The Travco has been almost 2 years undergoing the way-I-want-it process.  Which will probably never end...

Before the Travco, we had an Avion T-20 for 25+ years.
Yes, I have learned how to pack small actually. 

Thanks to Howard & Linda for providing such an oasis in a Web littered with commercialistic noise.

Trish

Welcome aboard Trish. I don't have an antique rig...I have seen a few while workamping. I guess I should start taking pictures of them. I could only find one Travco using google and it was a 1971 model.

Welcome to the forum, Trish. smile

There's quite a few older RVs out on the road, but not many as old as yours. Probably if you did a few searches on the Internet, you could find others who have Travco's also.

If you have questions, be sure to ask. You never know which one of the friendly people here on this form will have an answer for you.

Jim

Has anyone pointed you to tin can tourists yet?  They're whole focus is vintage RV's.

I always liked the Travco motorhomes, nice looking rigs.

Good luck in your adventure.

Couldn't agree more. This is a wonderful forum. Topics encompass virtually all facets of RVing and contributors are helpful, friendly, and supportive. Only wish I had discovered it sooner.

Thank you, all, for the warm welcome.

I belong to the yahoo Travco group and would have given up a year ago without it.
Great resource for parts and, especially, for good ideas.
But it's pretty low-tech, so it's easy to work on.   My son got me a GPS, a flatscreen and a few other electronic goodies and I'm actually not sure how to use them.  ;0)

Growing up, we had a 1960 Avion T-20 and by 1973, people were all over it!
They couldn't believe how old it was and how nice it was. 

Comparing the two, aluminum is much easier to deal with than fiberglass!

Tin Can Tourists hosts an annual Sept. weekend in the Fingerlakes;  I am hoping me, "It" and my bike make it this year.  The Travco won't go anywhere until it's perfect.

Greetings Trish-We have a Vintage Coach also.  Ours is a 1979 Dodge Sportscoach, which is a cousin to the Travco.  We almost bought a 1980 Travco 3300, but settled for our 79 Sportscoach 3300 instead.  Travco.org is a great website for Travco owners, full of information.  Travco even has its own motorcade club.  There are a lot of vintage coaches still on the road, but very few websites dedicated to them.  This is the most useful website and forum that I have come accross.  And the people here are extremely wonderful and helpful, even to us older coach people.  My husband and I have owned a lot of antique and classic vehicles over the years.  I think that is one of the main reasons we were drawn toward a quality built antique coach.  We did a lot of research before we figured out what we liked, needed and wanted, and we have no regrets in our discision with purchasing a beautiful old working piece of time.  Welcome to you - Ann and Don

Trish the only thing old about our RV is me. Welcome to the forum from Sherri and I. Whenever you decide that you are taking off on the road let us know. We are scattered all over the USA and would love to meet up with you. Don't be a stranger here...

Joe, I'd like to take off right now. Mostly because there is a laundry monster in my basement demanding attention. ;0)


However, needs must. My daughter goes in the summer, but I must get her through HS first --and get her through with A's.
Then there's the house. No sense in trying to sell now or for a few years. But, I have no mortgage and will get a good price when this mess straightens out. In time.

Meanwhile, I'm sorting and selling. There'll be a cream-puff S-10 in the Classifieds shortly.


Don & Ann--
I get old vehicles. I don't new, I want good.

I was undecided between a 1973 Avion Class C or this Travco. The boring-ness of the 318 won.
Low-tech is the way for me. Something I can fix or figure out without a tow truck and a "tech."


Thanks very much, to the both of you... I'll be around. On the road, on the big screen, you'll see me.
Yes! I just got hired for 2 more movies in Pittsburgh. And I am thinking about taking the Travco to leave in the movie lot. Who says only 'stars' have coaches.

Trish - wish we had the time and means to meet up with you in Pitt. We are about 4 hours north east of Pitt. We still have a lot of things to get rid of and ready before we hit the road so for now we are tied fast to where we are. Hope to see ya too. If you are passing through this way stop in. We live about 22 miles north of Williamsport.
