I always enjoy hearing about how others choose the RV they own. I'm a purist, meaning I like tongue pull, long trailers without slideouts. I also hate the...
I was interested in your saying you like tongue pull trailers without slideouts and but you are planning to upgrade to a fifth wheel. We are not purists. To...

I know the spots are from water damage, I just don't want the world to know forever that I let it happen. It has been fixed, that part was easy.Now to hide...
I do not know what your ceiling is made out of or if the damage just needs a cover up or replacement. I would assume that paint is not an option since you...
I should mention that I do not scrub with Oxy Clean. I just put it on the stain I want removed and it does the rest. You can watch the stain disappear....
All, I am restoring my trailer and have some floor rot about 12 inches out from the inside skin toward the front of the trailer. (Haven't got to the back...

If memory serves me correctly, the "Whale" was manufactured in 1988 or 1989 only. Have seen a few and one friend had one of the first. GOD bless you & GOD...
The Avion 'whale' 5th wheel was manufactured in 1990. There were a total of 75 made. Cayo RV Corp. also made five "Fifth Dimension" fifth wheels in late 1973...
If I remember correctly, The 1990 fifth wheel had problems with flexing, resulting in skin cracks. The 1990 model was a "last ditch" effort by Avion to stay...
