AVION Travel Trailers

Thanks everyone, it feels so right in there. Really looks like it could’ve been done back when. I like to pretend Stanley Kubrick had an Avion commissioned and now I have it. Anyone need some French Provincial hardware? I’ve got loads including a bunch of doors and some complete drawers. If you want...

Interesting, I’ve never really given it much thought. I just replaced my tires on to matching wheels that I purchased and both were rated to 80 psi cold. These are aluminum wheels and I ended up going with Good Year Endurance tires. Load range E. Since I’m not at full load and I’m a sissy when it co...

I just replaced my spare with one. The rubber looks good but is dated 2013, good enough for a spare I guess and it matches which is a plus. Are these the same wheels as yours?

Got the bunks painted and installed and also made new cabinet doors and drawer faces for most of the trailer. As I said in a previous thread, I wanted to update and brighten the interior without it feeling like a departure from its vintage. I feel like I did a fairly good job at having it be “70’s m...

On my ‘78, it has 15” wheels with a 6-5.5” bolt pattern. In fact, I just put on a new set that matched my old set (discovered a wheel with wallowed out lug holes, couldn’t find just one wheel but found a set of four) and am putting 2 wheels up for sale. I’m keeping one as a spare and not sure what t...

On Monday, we will head up to Colorado for an extended camping trip in the Avion. We needed a better sleeping situation for the the 4 of us which up until now has been: A bed extension for the rear double bed that filled in the aisle and made a queen effectively (wife, 4 yo daughter and I) and a mak...

Here’s what the double bed option looked like as well as a link the the sales brochure...

Hope that helps...

I take it you have the two twins midship, yes?

Could you post some pictures and measurements to help you get some ideas?

Hey y’all, I’m updating a few things in the Avion before we go on an extended camping trip in a couple weeks. One thing I’m doing is making bunk beds for the kids in back where the bureau is/was across from the bed. As hard as was for me to commit to it, I cut the drawer section off to accommodate t...

Wow, that’s pretty amazing!

No doubt that’s a Cayo, kudos to whoever designed it and even more to you for the eye to find it.

Good work!
