New to me 1965 Avion C-10...have some ???'s

[rastaman33609]

I just rescued a 1965 Avion C-10. It is still in very much original condition. The cabinets have been painted over and carpet on the floor.
The TC is in surprisingly good condition considering it is 50 years old.

I have started reading the "rebuild page' here and have been picking up a lot of information. However I still have over 300 pages to go and its getting really tedious. I am anxious to start doing some stuff to it and have a few basic questions if some one could point me in the right direction.
Firstly I am assuming that these units were not designed to be self sufficient. I have found what appears to be a galvanized water tank up front which I think is pressurized by air. So ?...I would plan on putting a on demand pump in place,what have other owners been doing?

Then I can see a battery meter mounted on the step below the overhead bunk. but cant find where the battery went. Did the 7 pin connector that hooks up the running lights provide a battery charge from the truck?
There are no holding tanks that I can find..where does the kitchen sink drain to. or the shower.

I am trying to avoid tearing into more than I have to.
Also what other sites may contain info on these campers??

Does any one want to volunteer to be my 'coach' as I stumble along the road of getting this old lady road worthy?

Thanks
Rasta

Many old Trailers did not have grey water tanks. MY 1966 Banner had only a black water tank, the grey water was allowed to run onto the ground or you could hook a hose to the exterior drain and run it away from your trailer,
This was legal then

That's not just a rebuild page so post your questions there, you'll be with others that have C10s & C11s and can answer whatever questions you might have.
This is the most informative site for the Avion tc.

Congrats on your Avion.

Did you check TinCanTourists.com, maybe you can find some info that will help.
