AVION Travel Trailers

I’ve removed the curtains, and sewn new ones, but wanted to keep the hardware original. The traverse rods appear to be stainless steel, but the slides the curtain hooks insert into are some sort of steel alloy. As you can see, they were fairly corroded. But after a soak for a few days in white vineg...

The traverse rods appear to be stainless steel or aluminum, but the the curtain hooks insert into slides that are some sort of steel or brass alloy. As you can see, they were fairly co...

Thank you for the reply. I believe the doors to be solid. They appear to be plywood with a Baltic birch veneer. Although I don’t have a planer, I know someone that does. I haven’t done veneer application before, but willing to learn.

Thank you for taking the time Bob. This pretty much what I thought — wishful thinking, but I was afraid it would be much worse. So your reply comes as welcome news.

My question is this: how much would one expect to pay for this type of repair? There’s an Amish man in our area that has a reputat...

Would appreciate information related restoring, repairing or replacing the fiberglass cover for the front window. Not only is the fiberglass in bad shape, the aluminum hinges/arms are in pieces. But it appears the parts are all there. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you in advance.
