Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos

The screws for the upper compartments are under the hinges?
what is the thickness of the floor? two boards 3/8" with a little more than 1" of isolation in between? both screwed on wooden slats? dimension 1x2" ??
think that was it for the beginning. i am pretty shure, i will bother you with mor questions

You are one strong Avionista. Not only do you buy an Avion and truck, but you ship them back to Germany. In addition, you have been reading our discussion in English - not your native language. My hat is off to you.
Now, to your questions:
Yes, you should remove the upper cabinets and cupboards in the rear of the coach. Number everything and place all of the parts in seperate plastic bags with information written on this. I'm sure that is what you do anyway, but thought I'd mention it. Next, remove the cabinets over the wings, the bed and other items on the lower part of the coach.
The space would be empty at this point.
Now examine the wings, floor and cabover for rot. If you find rot then make the repairs.
Paint the interior of the cabin using a very hard automotive type paint. The American OEM was Zolatone.
Begin replacing the parts in the order that you took them out. At this point you can decide whether you want the old stove, refrigerator, water heater, water pump, batteries and other paraphanalia. You may also want to upgrade to led lights.
The same process will happen in the bathroom with removal of the toilet, inspection of the floor and installation of a better black water and gray water system.
So, I hope this helps. It still makes sense to read this Forum from the beginning...but I get it that its difficult in English.
Please ask questions, its not a bother for anyone. But, its best to ask one or at the most two questions at a time. Too much and folks don't respond.
