AVION Travel Trailers

I have just peeled the onion that is the belly pan in search of a grey water leak. Dr. Gradeless said I should have the ply wood shelf supporting my tanks, though when I pulled the underwear off my girl, I found the grey water tank held up by two pieces of angle iron. This both delighted and disturb...

Based on the model it was built somewhere between 1960 and 1965. The serial number you gave is really big, they weren't that big back then (I don't believe) but lets see: 240210... the "24" could refer to the length, so maybe it was the 210th one made? Although I am totally guessing. The &...

What an interesting question and idea. I have absolutely no business trying to answer this question, but since you posed the question, I have now thought of my avion as a possible faraday cage. So, yes is my answer, I've thought of it. A lightning strike is the most common EMP so let's start there. ...

hey there and welcome...

A little more info please,
Ian

Welcome Christine and Mark! Would love to hear more about your Avion. Don't hesitate to ask any questions here, as there is a small but active community.

That actually helps greatly.
It looks a wee bit longer but by far the closest one I've seen.

I'll pick one up tomorrow and see how it goes.

Thanks for that,
Ian

Ok... wow. This is turning into a thing. The shocks I received (Monroe 555032) were massive compared to the ones I pulled out. No way they were going to fit. So back to the drawing board today. After stopping at a custom trailer place, and rv repair place an Airstream dealer and figured I throw a NA...

Hey Kyavion,

How did the penetrol hold up in the long run?
I saw another thread with you and Nralifer about the truck box polish, is that any better?

Thanks,
Ian

Rostam, I got the shocks delivered today about an hour before my wife and children returned from a trip... Hopefully will get after it tomorrow or the next day and will report back. Also, I noticed several options for shocks on Avions even of the same year. I'll post the shock number I'm replacing a...

Yeah, that would be a bargain.
Seems like almost too good of a deal.
