Re: Determining condition of anodized aluminum
The anodized finish is electro-chemically achieved and won't really wear off except in extreme circumstances, like getting dipped in oven cleaner. If you want to see what it looked like, or close to it, off the factory floor, wipe a section down with WD-40. Or don't, because then you'll be for ever ...

Re: Hello from new 1971 T28 owner in Nashville, TN
Hello Innocent.smith and welcome, I'm a pretty recent member here but have been over at Airforums for awhile. Started with a 1964 Silverstreak, then a 1977 Airstream, realized how much better built the Silverstreak was and stumbled on Avions and searched until I found the one... 1978 28M center bath...

Convenience light lenses on eBay
Just a heads up, I just bought three of these for my '78 28m. Mine (exterior door, hitch and dump valve lights) are all intact but severely yellowed. I'll replace the door and dump lenses and hang on to them for back ups. The hitch light is useless as the propane tanks block the way. Get em while he...

Searched for an Avion after getting frustrated with all the issues with the airstream which is curre...
