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...

Welcome IH!!
I love old Binders! Just helped a fella Friday when his 1967 Travelall ran out of gas while I was loading the Avion to get ready for our trip.
Here are the recent pics from this weekends work and preps for our Thanksgiving in Anchorage.
The new Alure-Ultra Travertine flooring.
The new restructured heater/closet/storage area.
The revised dinette,
Bathroom with the new flooring.
The view forward.
This is the rear view of the dinette, and against the wall, I have a friend that does upholstery, so he wrapped a piece of 1" foam insulation with a similar fabric to my seats, and it now is between the wall ans the cushions to provide insulation and padding when seated or when sleeping.
Here is the re-worked area of the heater and the closet. At the bottom is a new compartment for the sewer hose and other odds and ends, since external storage is limited. (Stays wrapped in plastic after thorough rinsing ;-))
Here is the ugly interior of the closet. The previous owner ripped out the fiberglass corner to fix a dented shell, so I do not have an interior lining, and I have foamed it in to keep it warm. Also find the covering for the Atwood Everest 12000 btu furnace. All works really well.
BAthroom door yet to be skinned on the inside...
and a final view forward showing the new upholstery by the dinette. the new round LED light fixture on the ceiling that replaces the previous round fluorescent fixture. (Now I don't hit my head on the light!)
Thats all for now, just need to continue loading for our trip, even though it's pouring down rain here, it is going to be low 20's during the day in Anchorage, and low teens to single digit at night...
