AVION Travel Trailers

How have the Ecoboosts faired in terms of reliability? Say once they are approaching or past the 100,000 mile mark? That's an interesting question. It was a love-hate relationship among owners, particularly prior to 2017. Those that followed recommended maintenance gave them rave reviews. Those tha...

That is really good. I am 9.5-10.8 with a 2017 6.2 F250, and ran 14-16 with a 2015 6.7 Cummins (stock) on the same camper. For reference with our 90’ 1500 suburban with 2WD and the same trailer got 10-12 towing. What’s the fuel mileage of the TV with same load at same speed otherwise? All else the ...

Im really torn between another Max Tow F150, and a total overkill F250 diesel. What’s the weight difference between the adjusted-empty and loaded-for-camping (with passengers, max fuel and not hitched)? At or near about 50/50 FF/RR weight balance before hitching? What’s a better tow vehicle? My 20,...

Thanks for the thorough explanation! I was just browsing some vehicles in FB marketplace and and some popped up. I really appreciate the insight about pre-2018 years! I've read many stories of people who have high mileage and no issues with the pre-2017 3.5LEB engines. I suspect these are original ...

You’ll be glad of every small pain taken. The Hensley-patent hitch is VERY obvious as I’m overtaking then passing a rig. The TT is motionless while underway. All the other hitch designs (obsolete) allow the trailer to continually oscillate. Always moving thru three axis. I don’t see them often. But ...

Bubble level still easiest. One,Two boards or three under one side. Pressure treat 12” W. 8,’, 6, 4, with tapered ends. Or just use a bottle jack. Adjust FF/RR as desired with tongue jack. There’s no reason to make it perfect. I don’t even worry about “close”. About all that’s needed is to measure t...

The Silver Streak dealers used a mix of Acetone & Olive Oil (or ATF). Lasts until abeavy rain. Wash and re-apply. Goes fast. The goal isn’t the close inspection. It’s the general impression from a reasonable distance with 5005-Anodized. Differences per panel exist. And will. “Satin Glow” (not sh...

Country-of-origin on those leafs? American-made 5160 (High Alloy) Spring Steel is the single acceptable replacement. There are no high-end travel trailers manufactured with leaf springs since the early 1990s. Ergo, no market for quality. EatonDetroit can maybe make some if an original shipped to the...

Heat is what kills tires. From dead-cold overnight parked, it will take 1.5-hours at steady-state cruise for tire pressure to equalize . The trailer rides on air not rubber. The rubber is a case. It has to expand to the degree which the pressurized air inside of it stops expanding. Too little air, ...

Start here. 3800 or 4800.

Radio gear will last decades.
