Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos
Without going into too much painful detail, we had a mishap several week-ends ago. While working with sand bag crews on the Mississippi River, the truck and camper fell into the flood waters as a road...

Hi my name is Joerg and coming from Germany.
I own pickups since beginning of 1990, started with a Campertop, than, when my daughters where born, I changed for a 1990 Chevy Crew cab and bought a Fleetwood Elkhorn. After 2 Years I sold it to buy a Palomino Maverick 1000 sl (found in Helena Montana). The last few years I owned a 2007 GMC Sierra k3500 drw. That was enough for me till this year. Whenever I have seen an Airstream trailer I looked astonished and started dreaming. Coincidentally I sold my rig for good money. Also coincidentally I found an Avion c11 from 1968 in the US and bam, it was mine.
A friend of mine now has to arrange the shipping.
I try to read and follow this wonderful informative threat, but its too much to read in such a short time.
When the Avion gets here, I have to check, what has to be replaced, what can I fix or buy here in Germany etc.
At the time I´m on page 15 (add a greywatertank). I have to change Waterheater, etc everything with gas, because these Parts are not allowed in Germany.
I think I will have lots of questions, when I inspected the Avion, and lots of Questions are already responded, but maybe its already a few years ago. So you have to excuse this (also my bad English).
I will keep on following the news and follow up what you guys wrote the last years, restoring your Treasure.
