This last weekend we went a couple hundred miles north to visit family and go to the stock car races (dirt track). Saturday was clear sunny and very hot at +32c or 90f. There was this old rig sitting in the infield so never got a good look at it until it was moved back away from the track. I went over and talked to the owner about it.

1975 Bendix Centurion 25'. He bought it from a farmer that bought it new and for a couple years would (in the summertime) take it down to the lake where it sat till fall then storage for the winter. This farms health declined and so it remained in storage (in a quonset) until the current owner asked him if it was for sale and they made a deal. 25,000 original miles but all rubber hoses, belts etc where changed. Engine ran fine and because it was sealed good no critter damage. Anyways, GMC P-30 chassis w 454 and TH400 auto. Can't find much other info on it so if any know anything feel free to add it.

Centurion front passenger side: Just a couple small doors but I have no idea for what (storage?) at the back.


This is from the Rear passenger side. You can see a louvered panel behind the spare tire, thinking this may be for a generator but again I'm not sure


Drivers side rear. Another door with some smaller louvers that may be for propane.


Drivers front


I never got to see the interior which I would have liked to however he was leaving to go racing. In aug he is supposed to be back so may try to get some then.

My buddy's parents bought this in the 60's and gave it to him few years ago. Still using it to this day. No clue what make or model it is.

I hope this is not off topic...if so...sorry, but last night the DH and I were flipping channels on the TV and noticed the episode on the Brady Bunch TV show of their family trip to the Grand Canyon. Anyhow, during the scenes that caught our eye were showing their pop-up camper. It really had a large floor area and we wondered what year or model that PUP might have been. Does anyone know? Just curious.


HAPPY CAMPING!!

Fglaab, looks like maybe a Nomad. My parents had one.


If you want all the comforts of home, stay there.

Tvoy.
Background info. The first three taken in the older section of the Salton Sea, California. The sea rose, flooded the entire area, and ruined a whole mess of trailers many years ago.

The last one was taken at Dos Cebezas, Arizona. it is sort of a ghost town but with inhabitants.




here's the other side of the Salton Sea photo withour Road Trek in the background. the place is an old subdivision called Bombay Beach and the place is full of old trailers and cars

Help me out. I recently purchased a used camping trailer to restore. (A very unprofitable hobby) The people did not have a title to it as they would pull it to the woods for hunting season. My problem is I don't have any Idea what year it is.
The trailer was Manufactured by BONANZA TRAVELERS INC. they went out of business in 1980.
