- Pat, wow, sorry to hear about your accident. As far as the weather goes out here, I actually live in Petaluma and the weather is pretty benign in the winter compared with where you are. Probably not as warm as Texas though. We are expecting some rain as this will be an El Nino year in the Pacific. The winter temps will be in the 40's to low 60's with a few 30's here and there. Bodega can get windy for sure but it is a nice little town and there is a hill that blocks some of the wind. There an not to many camp grounds around up north and if it were me I'd head south like to Morro Bay. It is another nice old fishing town but with some more to do and it will be warmer and drier. It is not quite Southern Cal but getting close. Hope this helps, and good luck with your search for an older 'C', there sure are a lot of them out there. We keep a Tyvec cover on ours and it really helps preserve the exterior when stored. Cheers, Dave.

Julie Karyn said… - Thanks Pat :) I love Oklahoma state parks (and OK.)- have a friend that lives and works at Thunderbird St. Pk. east of Norman (she's F/T RV'er). Haven't been around Tulsa in awhile (Keystone St. Pk. in 2000)- was at Grand Lake a few years ago. I would like to camp host in Texas again- lots of nice lakes there! Glad to hear from you- you are right down the road! Julie

If I were looking for one of these again, I'd be looking for a 21' - 23' TelStar, either Champion or Firan (from the 1990's). That would give the best combination of comfort, maneuverability, and options.
Hey - I'm on my way out the door with the wife & critters for a weekend RV'ing - email me on Sunday and I can add a little more.

The TransVan was originally a "low roof" - but by the early '80's the other similar RV's that had a raised roof were beating it out, so they added the raised roof to it too - not as wide as say a TranStar or TelStar but still enough to comfortably walk down the aisle and get around. TransVan was the "low" end model for Champion in their "super" Class B line. According to the brochures, there was something like 75" or so in the passageway down the middle of the van and 83" in the stepwell area. The raised roof on the other Champion/Firan RV's and the other companies who made essentially the same vehicles almost full-width, with what they called "submarine" windows. The Original TransVans were only 7' high not counting A/C's and the taller versions were between 8' and 9'6".
Hope that helps.

This is a good looking site and thanks for the welcome. I'll add what I can over discussions. We're working on being able to Boondock as much as we can.

6'3 - the early Champion TransVans only had the "stand-up" area in the back galley area. Later ones often had the raised roof (like '84-'85 & later). TranStars, TelStars (both also Champion products), Firan (after they bought out Champion for a couple of years), TravelCrafts, Broughams, Cozy Crafts, and TravelMasters all were pretty standard with the raised, "stand-up" roofline down the center. There are still a lot out there, a lot in decent shape. Try the Yahoo Group "Classic B Vans" (http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Classic_B_Vans/) - they discuss a lot about those critters and have some great photo galleries.
