AVION Travel Trailers

Hi folks! First of I want to thank the admin and moderators for having a forum for this site. I am letting you in on a secret. I am a spy. I don't own an Avion trailer but a 22 foot 1963 Avalair trailer. It was built in Baroda, Michigan, maybe 10 or 20 miles from the Benton Harbor Avion factory.
I am spying because the trailers are cousins of each other, and many parts and building techniques are the same. Three Avion engineers started the company which only lasted about three years.
I plan on beginning restoration beginning in the Spring of 2023. I want to keep it as original as possible, minus the asbestos floor tiles! I just bought it this summer after waiting more than 10 years from seeing it the first time.
I will be needing a lot of advice since this is the first trailer I have tried to restore. I want to do it right, that is why I am here.

Howdy. Me and your trailer are same age. Don’t know who looks better. I’ve had my avion a few months now. Been doing some work on it. I can’t believe the number of rivets that were used, never see that again for sure. Looks like yours is same build quality. Good luck!

Thanks! I was born in 1955, so I am just a few years older than you. I don't know how my old body will adapt to working on this project.

Ha ha ha... i am the same age as your trailer, too!!!

Welcome to the forum! We are glad to have you here. I have read about Avalair... might have some info stored.. I will need to look. But.... Congratulations on your Avalair!

Thanks! I see that you are quite active in the forums. Thanks for your help and for seeing if you have any information on the Avalair.

Welcome! Look forward to be seeing your progress!

I looked and looked for pictures I know I have saved somewhere, but I could not find them.

Thanks for looking. It will show up someday when you least suspect it.
