... Airstreams ... taking ... I'm an expierenced Airstream owner that will easily admit that Avion, generally, built a better trailer in nearly every respect....
Thank you for the links - I will see what we can find to retrofit a door handle. We have no idea how long the Avion has been sitting on the lot where we found...
I have a few decals that I've been trying to remove from my 61 avion T- 27 trailer. Today a well meaning friend, without my knowledge, tried using a wire brush...
For you folks who have coupons for those converter boxes, in case you don't know it, they are issued with an expiry date. I wasn't aware of it when I received...
Eric, Yes the early pre 1968 Avions had Alclad aluminum. Polishing is a tricky business. I'd avoid any type of abrasive removal of any scratches until you...
Thanks for the warning.We recently bought a brand new tube-TV for $130 at Walmart that had digital channels already in the TVSmall but big enough for the Avion...
The scratches probably won't polish out. A few weeks ago, I tried the cheapo abrasive blaster from Harbor Freight to remove paint from an aluminum boat with...
I went thru the same uncertain feeling about towing my Avion when I bought it. That's why I had the Avion brought to me from NH to MI on a flatbed trailer,...
Hi Gang, Going boondocking next week and may be able to take a genset. I'll be using the batteries from dusk 'til dawn for lighting (only a few hours on the...
I strongly recommend pulling the wheels, greasing the bearings, and checking the brake system thoroughly before any attempt to tow your "new" Avion. You do...
Eric, That is unfortunate. Alclad is very soft because it is aluminum alloy sheet which has been protected from corrosion by the application of a very thin...
here's a link to it: <http://tinyurl.com/Truck-Camper> Looks like maybe the 1st C-11? has some commonalities to both the C-10 and C-11 campers. This seems to...
Rol, Do you think I can polish out the surface scratches if I used a coarse grit polish? If that worked then I could just go ahead and polish the whole trailer...
I can't agree with Bob and Rol more. A lot of heat can build up in a wheel bearing even in 5 miles or less. And a rotten tire may not last much longer even a...
Eric, I am not an expert on Alclad polishing so I will leave that to others to answer. However I would be very hesitant about using coarse abrasives. You...
Rol, Thanks for the tips. Do you have any opinion on nuvite polish? http://www.perfectpolish.com/Nuvite.htm I'm thinking of getting F7 Medium Coarse because my...
Eric, Nuvite seems to be what the Airstream folks use - but I've never used it myself! Cheers, Rol 1978 Avion 30 R 1987 Avion 34 X 1985 GMC Suburban 2WD auto...
Thank you again for all of the information. We are lucky in that the trailer is pretty close to home AND we have at least 30 days to figure out how to GET it...
Mary Susan, That sounds like the best plan for your situation! Have a good trip! Cheers, Rol 1978 Avion 30 R 1987 Avion 34 X 1985 GMC Suburban 2WD auto 3/4T x...
I'll sleep much better knowing you'll use the flatbed. Look forward to following your rebuild. ( How are the tires and brakes on the flatbed? : ) Sincerely, ...
Keef, Just when I thought I was the only one cautious enough to transport on a flat bed, you posted an inquiry about the condition of the flatbed! Got a...
Has anyone added additional insulation to their water heater? It seems like our new water heater comes on an awful lot. It is electronic ignition, no pilot. It...
Hi Kara, I will post some interior photos of our '87 25-H in the folder "The Silver Hind." They are self-explanatory. I'll post some exterior photos when the...
John, Please be sure to follow our forum convention of naming your folder 1987 25 H The Silver Hind So the folders sort by year and model in the list. Thank...
General reminder: When each Avion forum member joined the forum we sent a very specific welcome message with our requests to make the forum more organized so...
Hi John, Thanks so much for renaming/recreating your photo folder! I have a couple of folks who have ignored prior reminders. I hope your example will nudge...
John, I took a look at your photos - they came out great, and I really like the framed photos on the walls. They really look nice and professional, and make...
I'm glad to help, Rol. Here's what I did: 1) I created a new folder with the correctly 'formatted' name; 2) I opened the original, incorrectly named folder; ...
