AVION Travel Trailers

I have owned two different Avions and I have used three different tow vehicles. My old Avion was a 1976 26' LeGrande. My current Avion is a 1981 34V. My original tow vehicle and the one I still use on occasion is a 1965 IHC D1200 Travelall Custom 4x4 with the SV304 V-8, 4-speed and 4.09 gears. My se...

Hello! Last summer during our epic journey across 15 states and 7100 miles we saw and did a lot of fun things. One of the places we visited was the Badlands in South Dakota. There is a reason why they call it the Badlands! While traveling through the Badlands we were in the edge of a tornado. Weirde...

I put in a Fridgidaire to replace the OEM Norcold. There was so much wrong with the Norcold I never even considered repairing it. The Fridgidaire is almost the same size inside as the Norcold I took out but the exterior size is considerably smaller. If you haven't noticed, due to the way in which an...

Hello and welcome to you! As you prepare to find a proper tow vehicle you will need a vehicle that is rated to tow at least 5,000 lbs. According to the factory your Argonaut weighed a little over 4,100 lbs. By the time you add junk and plunder, water and gas, and all of your personal stuff you will ...

I stand corrected. That is exactly what the interior of our 34V looks like.

As part of the epic journey we took last summer we wanted to visit Yellowstone National Park. I had been advised by several other people who had been to Yellowstone in the last couple of years that the best way in which to see the park was to take a bus tour. Now as a former bus tour operator I am a...

As part of our epic journey this last summer we had to be in Columbus, OH for a conference. There is another campground much closer to downtown but all it offered was a space to camp. With an 8-year old along we needed some more amenities. As a consequence we discovered Cross Creek Campground in Del...

Part of our epic journey this last summer included a stop to see Mt. Rushmore. I think the first time I ever really "saw" Mt. Rushmore was in the Alfred Hitchcock movie, "North by Northwest" starring Cary Grant. Ever since I have always wanted to see Mt. Rushmore in person. It wa...

Our awning was black and white striped but that was the only stuff that was striped on our Avion. Our 34V has brown/gold toned upholstery in a sort of floral pattern. The bolsters by the twin beds and the bed covers are brown. When we got our trailer the carpet had been taken out and the linoleum wa...

Hello, We have a 1981 34V that we purchased three summers ago. Since that time I have done quite a bit to get it ready to camp, most of which involved a lot of elbow grease but not a lot of anything else. I am continually amazed at the quality of materials and workmanship that went into the building...
