Atwood Direct Spark Ignition Water Heater

I had planned on just swapping out the old Atwood water heater with a new gas/electric direct spark model, but as most projects go there was a little more to it than just that. Unfortunately, the floor around the water heater was rotten. Luckily, unlike my prior 79 Airstream, this was a relatively s...

Re: 1987 34W - Resealing the upper edge of the beltline

I need to do that on mine as well. Does the color of parbond match pretty well? I was looking at both Parbond and the Aluminum Gutter Seal on the Vintage Trailer Supply site.

Entry Door Window

So I noticed today that my new Avion does not have glass for the entry door window. It's looks like tinted plexi or Lexan. Is that standard or is it a repair?

Re: Kool Seal

That's the problem--a few leaks. I went ahead and ordered some Eternabond and a gallon of Koolseal, so we'll see how it goes.

Kool Seal

I was on top of my new Avion this evening and learned the entire roof is covered in a rubbery yet dense coating. I'm not sure since I've never used it before, but I'm wondering if it's Kool Seal. To remove the coating would be arduous since the entire roof is covered, so I plan to just touch it up w...

Re: 1987 34W - Rock Guard Painted

That polish looks great. Have you tried Bon Ami as well?

Welcome

Welcome to AVIONtrailers.net, a place for discussion about anything related to silver AVION trailers. As a former 1979 Airstream Sovereign owner, and now a 1984 Avion 30R owner, I found it a shame a threaded board didn't exist for AVION trailers similar to that for Airstreams. After all, AVION trail...
