Hey Lookin1,

Here are some things I am looking for - 2 of the closet door handle and 3 or 4 of the drawer pull, centers on drawer pulls are 2 3/4" or a smigen more. Is the bathroom vanity door louvered? I am looking for one that is not louvered.

Thanks,
Tina

PS - if you have any more photos, we'd love to see them.

To further Tina's post the body style changed in 1973 so this unit comes in as 72 or earlier.

Lookin1,

Do you have a photo of the Avion serial plate? It would look something similar to this, as this is from our '59. The leg o matic chairs look exactly like ours.

There is also a Avion Yahoo Group "Avion Camping and Restoration." You may find more folks there who may be interested in your items as you part it out, they are definitely "Avion" focused.

By the looks of the entrance door handle, this is most likely a 1969 Avion. The Chesler door lock was used on the 69 Avion. Avion used a "code" for the years of their trailers.
This data plate looks like the letters are FI indicating a 1969 model.

Awesome - I think someone had those travel stickers in a drawer from a trip they went on and saved them for this trailer. Maybe they got two each time they went and eventually ended up putting them on their "new" trailer. You definitely have a late 60s trailer. That's not bad, it's just good to know what you've got .
