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...

As promised here are some pictures of the awning. Not as easy to set up as one of the new style ones but this is in better shape than the one that is on a 2005 travel trailer I have.
In this picture you can see the awning enclosure above the kitchen side windows.
A “Quality Product from A&E Systems”.
First you can see the two clips along the topside of the enclosure which has protected the awning for so long.
Opened up you have the lower arm folded attached to the awning drum and the upper arms that are clipped in above the awning
The awning partially out, upper arms not connected.
The mounting clip on the side of the camper for the lower arms. They could also be placed directly on the ground and staked in.
Detail of the upper arm clipped in to the awning drum
Awning out in position. Unfortunately the front lower arm is missing the proper stop and thus was not holding.
Overall it took me about 10 minutes to set up the awning by myself. The biggest issue with the awning was that I needed a 6 foot ladder to set it up, which is not something I'm likely to carry when camping. Which is probably why this one is in such good condition (it was used very little). As cool as it is to have an original awning I do like the way and ease of your set up 67avion, and will probably do something similar off the back of the camper.
