Just spent two plus hours on the internet. Apparently I own the only surviving or pictured 1986 Travelmaster Pompano M-240 24' Class A camper in the world. :)

  • New kitchen sink
  • New bathroom sink that sits on top of the counter
  • Faucets
  • Window treatments
  • Stereo and speakers
  • Counter tops
  • Upgrade the table and booth somehow
  • New exterior mirrors

Travelmaster Pompano 1986

Before summer of 2016 I never heard of a Travel Master Pompano. This one was made in 1986 and is long out of business.

It's a Series M-240CB

Like so many others back then it was built on a Chevrolet P30 chassis which is a 1 Ton truck. So getting parts for the chassis is much easier than the coach.

As it sat on the EAA field for sale I didn't have my hopes set very high, I mean really, 30 years old. This is our fourth camper but first class A. So I decided to take a chance, I don't think my wife was very happy.

It did have some updates done to it so I bought it...
