She's petite and cute as a button. Can't wait to get her on the road this summer.

So I called Cayo Trailer today to ask a few questions on a couple of repairs I need to make (furnace and fridge). I talked with Chuck I believe. He told me that these Suntrails were made in the truck camper facility and very few were made. They would put these into production whenever orders for the truck campers would get soft so they wouldn't have to lay off the workers. Consequently many of the components used in the Suntrail were actually C10 or C11 components. Even the shell shape was based on these campers.
I wondered why I rarely saw mention of these models in forum discussions. Now I know.

A few quick interior shots. Original everything (except maybe the curtains) including upholstery. I did add a new awning.

Another bit of Avion/Cayo history that I have never heard. Thank you for sharing.
I would love to take a couple of weeks of and go work with Chuck. I think that would be awesome!

Great pictures. Thank you.
Would like to know where you got the awning. It looks sweet! Need one for my 68 t22.
