Hello rastaman. I haven't an Avion. Mine is a stick and paneling built Travel Queen. However, what you described brought my mind to my own situation.
I just replaced the cab-over bunk floor in mine and it started life as a 3/4" piece of plywood. I went the other direction and sandwiched 1x4 pine boards between two plywood sheets 1/4" thick. In the created cavities I placed foam insulation board. But then I live and play in potentially cold country!
My bunk was held together with support from the sides and front having nails stuck all along the plywood edge. And at the rear on top of the vertical cab wall. But all in all, the bunk floor is suspended from structure around and above. The original engineered design lasted 45+ years and on my rebuild I think I improved on that design.
I much prefer my insulated and arguably stronger bunk floor for a number of reasons. Mostly how the supporting fasteners are now into 1x material instead of plywood and are screws instead of nails.
Pick up the thread here if you are interested in the details of the floor removal and originality, then go here to pick up the same thread where I start replacing the bunk floor with the new one.
