Re: 1967 Avion 24' Holiday Restoration Thread
I did not find that the C channel needed to the replaced even though it was somewhat corroded. I cleaned it and reinstalled, moving the screw holes over where I had to get "aggressive" during the removal. The interior skin is really easy to remove and reinstall, esp. if you take out all th...

Re: 1967 Avion 24' Holiday Restoration Thread
Hi J. Fair! Re: the floor... I am trying to figure out where to begin with this project without compromising the structural integrity of the trailer. I have read about the need to brace the frame to make sure there is no shifting with the subfloor removed, and was wondering if it may be best to rep...

Re: 1967 Avion 24' Holiday Restoration Thread
Well done! You should be proud. Be sure to get a "replacement value" with an insurance company as soon as you are all done. You will likely need an appraisal first. Thanks! What do you think its worth? Im thinking of selling it once I secure the title. (easiest in VA to do that with a rep...

Re: 1967 Avion 24' Holiday Restoration Thread
Next on the list is to replace the axle. I want it to be perfect if Im going to trust is across country. Anyone have any recommendations on a new axle/suspension kit? Hoping to keep the wheels if possible, I didnt like them originally, but they are growing on me.

Re: 1967 Avion 24' Holiday Restoration Thread
Well, its been awhile. The trailer is near complete. Vertical strand bamboo floor came out amazing. Exterior I went with paint instead of the ugly, uneven polishing job I was getting. About two days after I painted it still with some hesitation and mixed feeling about painting an aluminum trailer, I...

Re: 1967 Avion 24' Holiday Restoration Thread
Haven't posted in a while, because I've been busy digging my self out of the cluster I got myself into. Ripped off the 1990's AC unit that was WAAAY to heavy for the roof. After popping about 5 rivets, the whole roof almost caved in. Most likely the kitchen and cabinetry inside that once existed add...

Re: 1967 Avion 24' Holiday Restoration Thread
Thanks for the advice on the pressure sensor- Not sure these wheels will be permanent. I really want full or baby moons to complete the exteriors vintage vibes. Today: - Cut off all the old bolts and nails attaching the previous floor to the C-channel. Not a single bolt on this thing is able to be r...

Re: 1967 Avion 24' Holiday Restoration Thread
First post on what I did today- - Pressure-washed the outside and used an incredible aluminum cleaner that took it back to OG in about 30 seconds. I'll be buying more this week and posting that info. - Replaced the tires on the 15" wheels (may not be original to the can) I went with the Carlisl...
