Riviera campers

[Dean Rechner]

...an M-Plate on the frontside of the passenger bulkhead isnt the anymore.
Just two holes.

The seats are no swivel seats. I don´t know which modell.

There are aluminum windows installed. The cargo doors have two windows and on the driver side are three aluminum windows installed. Each window consists of three glass plates, which can be placed.

When I removed the windows from the loading doors you could see cuts in the corners.

I really don´t know what kind of interiour it is.

My .02:
It is a swivel seat (even if you got no 'swivel' currently). Look at the stand.
That doesn't look like a Riviera camper set up inside. But that was a panel van originally.

Here ist a photo of the seat.The seat is too wide, so that he was on the side widens metal base with a wood to provide enough space for the seat rails.

The seat was trying to relate. The original reference was blue and is still partly present.

I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since I bought my bus. I've had a lot of fun with it, but am disappointed I have not made further progress on the restoration. In fact, I've only driven it about 3 times in the last year. The last time I camped? July 2012. Sigh. I guess I need some motivation.

I hear ya, dude. I've been there. My Riviera has been off daily driver status for a year now and already the larger projects have waited as I've addressed small stupid things. I try to drive it once a week or so.

And camping...yeah, didn't happen at all in 2013. Thankfully, the whole family wants to get out there this year.

Maybe I'm wrong, but this appears to be a '66 Riviera built from a Kombi rather than panel platform. Am I wrong? Is it fairly rare to see a Riviera Kombi?

Hello split bus people!

if i may post a couple of bay window pics here, i'm looking for some info on my 68 riviera, or more precisely the sliding windows. These look similar to the ones used on some of your split busses but longer.

Does anyone have any info on rebuilding these? Mine leak water in the bus like crazy, damaging the wood paneling. and that makes me sad. I'd love a source for the inner seals. anyone?

Also the pop top leaks because the shape is all wrong. the edge doesn't follow the shape of the roof, so the seal is useless.. but that's another problem.

Roland, are you sure that is not a RoadRunner camper conversion? A friend of mine had a 68 RoadRunner camper many years ago, and it had those windows.

Also, as a side note, I really love a foggy morning. Thanks for the photos.

Roland,
My big "picture window" has a large aluminum 'drip edge' mounted over it and that seems to keep the water in check. Not sure where you would find it but worth a look...
