However I would like to add a water tank and some a grey water tank even if it needs to be portable (i have to take it out to dump)
I am not sure how this would be plumbed so as to prevent feed back to shore water source which I would like to keep. Is a one way valve used?
The kitchen sink should have a hose connection on the outside of the camper that you can hook up a hose to and route to a separate collection container (bucket etc). As you go through the Thread you will see other options.

I would also like to add an AGM battery.
I can live without black water holding tank.
I would like to reinforce the front jack support area, can you or anyone suggest a way to do this from the inside?
Having some pics will help us help you know where the battery was originally. but an AGM is a great choice. The black water tank is incorporated under the toilet and under the shower. In Fact the Toilet, Shower and bathroom sink all drain to the black water tank.

The first task will be:
1..Clean the outside: What is the best way to bring the shine back out?
2. Clean the inside.
3, Get the running lights working.....Is there a source for replacement lights?
I am sure I will have a lot more questions...and yes I am reading the avion thread here. I still have over 285 pages to go :) at the end I am sure I will be much better informed...right now I am anxious to do things.
The exterior is Anodized, so will never shine like and Airstream, unless you de-anodize it as one of our members did, and then spend alot of time polishing... ;-)
In the thread I posted sources for LED replacement lights and what they look like installed and lit up. I will try to dig it up, and post a link to the exact page. If yours is a 65, do you have the same propane access door I have on my 66, or do you have the smaller door from the very early versions? As you clean, you may be able to lightly sand the doors etc to remove the paint, then use Danish Oil to revive the original Birch plywood. I didn't have paint to worry about, but mine were de-laminating, so I had to re-glue and clamp, then sand and re-oil.
