appears that this was Ernie Irvan's race trailer. Ernie started
racing for Kodak in the late '60's ('68?), and the bumper sticker
is from that era...." |

AVION H24 |
| Purchased
in January of 2004 it is a work in progress. This is a rewarding
project but not for the faint of heart or mechanically challenged.
The unit will serve as a spare bedroom and retro conversation piece
at our lake cabin. It is trailer-able and will probably make a camping
trip each summer once complete. I take that back. It may never be
complete hence a work in progress. |

AVION 18 FOOT SPORTSMAN |
| We
started looking for an airstream. We searched for a decent one for
a good price, we had already decided that we wanted a small one,
under 24 feet. We had discovered all the cool web sites and even
monitored E-bay. One of the web sites we watched had an Avion come
up. it was about an 3-4 hour drive away so we decided to check it
out. .............. |

AVION C11 Truck Camper |
| One
of the biggest projects in renovating a trailer or truck camper
is dealing with rotted wood. Charlie's project photos have many
good shots showing what it looks like and how to go about fixing
it. In the case of truck campers it often results in a total replacement
of the floor and the wings. |

AVION 32S |
| My
wife was sure she was done with trailering forever. I was depressed
but already thinking about buying another AVION. That is when I
found Dr. G's web site and began looking at Avion's for sale. |
