Great advice... It is like the iceberg that the Titanic hit. Full speed ahead until the 75 percent beneath the surface does serious damage, to your vision, your schedule and your wallet. Most renovations don't even come to a conclusion and the owner sells them off mid stream. Don't get me wrong, my reno turned out awesome but it did take a year and a half and damage to the pocket book.

We have an exhaustive discussion of Avion campers on the string that Ticki suggested.
Here is some advice: campers almost always look better than they are. The really bad stuff is often hidden. The price is high unless the camper can be checked very thoroughly in advance, and I doubt that there is anyone around who is familiar with Avion tcs. If the fellow won't let you check out the systems, then walk away.
The asking prices are ranging, for non restored Avion tcs, from around $1500 to $8000. An average is around $3500....you can see them on eBay from time to time. A rule of thumb is that a good restoration will cost between $10,000 and $20,000. Add that to the purchase price.
Hopefully you have some experience with older machines and know the level of work, and disappointment, that is possible.
But, I assure you, it's one of the best TCs ever built.
Best of luck.
