Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

I saw this on CL in SD and just had to have it. It's a 1969 C30 Open Road motorhome. 350/th400/4.10's. It's been nicely face lifted inside and is just a solid piece. The PO delivered it 90 miles to my house too! The deck was the selling point I think.

Wow it looks sweet as heck,any inside pics?

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

Good thing you saw it first. I don't think I could say no to those flamingos!

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

CONGRATS - you are sure to enjoy that thing - very good truck under it (even with autotrans), although those Open Road campers were not as nicely finished/well-made as some others of the era. Then again, you never will wear it out. NICE DECK !!!

Now that is neat. Congrats.

My driveway is rather made for another vehicle. I have decided it should be a panel or a Burb but having a motorhome would be pretty cool.

I had a 66 c30 Open Road with the deck. We had a lot of fun with it. Ours had a 283 2 barrel with 4 speed granny!

I saw that on CL! Was hoping a board member would buy it as it is out of my budget for now. At least I get to live (kind of) vicariously through you. Congrats on the buy!

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

Very patriotic. What did you pay for it? More pics palease.

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

Fixed it for ya...more big enjoys!

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

What a timeless classic !! Congrats on a great buy :chevy:

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

No backup camera needed for this one. Just drop the deck and get a panoramic view of what's behind you!

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

Thanks guys! I am happy with it so far. I ended up paying $2,700 after he delivered it for me. Not bad, not great, but fair I think. I will try to upload pictures when I can. The inside is in very good condition. I've been eyeing these beauties for years and thought I'd never find one let alone own one. I've always wanted a burb really bad, but I will get a lot more use out of the motorhome.

I think you made out very well on that deal. Is there a tremendously large hole in the cab to walk back into the camper portion?
And just to reiterate… I think you made out very well on that deal and it was delivered!!

Yes, there is a large hole in the back of the cab large enough to pass through comfortably. It has blazer buckets in it so you can easily go from the drivers seat straight back to the camper.

Very nice, IMO you stole it!

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

love those things!

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

That's a sweet machine! Nice to see another active ND member on here

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

I also think you did well considering it includes the delivery fee.

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

What a score!

Hey, this wouldn't have stumped most people on here; but being a newbie when I bought my 1970 C10 it still had the points distributor; and when I tried to look up the serial number on the distributor I didn't know what I had;

Finally I figured out it was a motorhome chassis distributor that the previous owner had installed.. (photo attached)..

So anyway; in the unlikely event yours still has the original points distributor I would be interested to see a photo of the number on it and if it was the motorhome version or a regular small block chevy truck distributor series.

That piece that the second picture refers to has the total degrees of advance (built-in) stamped into it - so that will be handy information for when you start to tune your new baby...

I have some interior photos finally for everyone that asked!

you sure did good, alot better than the 72 green one for 12000.

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

Those interior shots remind me of the single-wide trailer my grandmother lived in during the 70's and 80's. It had the same faux pas brick walls.

I hope you get to take that thing on some trips.

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

Wow, sliding glass door. Beautiful interior. Nice looking rig. Great score. From this angle I'd be a little weary of the deck stands. They don't appear that strong to me, but that's just from the picture.

It made the 154 mile trip to Brainerd International Raceway this morning with the 65 Impala SS in tow! I was impressed. I was able to keep it between 60-65 without a problem. I averaged 7 MPG. Not bad for having 6,000lbs behind it!

Cool picture there!

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

Diggin' your new purchase. These c30s are rad.

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

Nice score!! You gonna make it to the nationals in brainerd?? It's awesome to see another ND member!

I'm planning on going to the Nationals, but only for Sunday and I won't be bringing the motorhome. I'll probably ride my harley. It's a little better on gas haha.

Hey that's alright! I got the wife talked in to going next year! I missed the last couple years. It's a good time!

Re: Picked up a new rig on CL this morning! 1969 C30 Motorhome
 

Where were you off to today?? I saw you driving through Fargo today. I was the one in the black Honda pilot giving you the thumbs up a couple times! We were driving along side each other until you turned north onto highway 59 in Detroit lakes. I saw that motor home and was telling the wife how I knew you! Haha small world!

That's crazy! Haha. You made my day, I was smiling ear to ear after you gave me the thumbs up! I was heading to Walker MN, Shores of Leech Lake resort. I'm going sailboat racing this weekend with my dad and grandpa. I was elected to bring my motorhome haha. What a small world, great to see you! You made my day with the excitement!
