Vintage Avion Trailer Specifications, Weights and Dimensions
Avion travel trailers were first introduced in 1956 and are some of the highest quality trailers built. The body is two complete aluminum riveted shells with treated fiberglass insulation between them. Avion’s high standard for quality can also be found in its hardwood floors and dovetail cabinetry.
Pre-1963 Avion trailers have an aluminum skin that can be polished to a mirror finish. Shells made after 1963 have a satin finish and are more durable.

I have a 1966 AVION Travel Trailer which I am trying to restore. The door handle is broken and I need to replace the window in front (by towing bar)as well as insulation on the window strips. Everything works except the vent over the stove. Even the AC. Someone had taken out the heat unit and replaced the refrigerator with a house model. The unit needs cleaning and I do not know what to use since this model says it is Anodized. Help
Where can you find out the build date of a vintage Avion Tailer from the serial number?
There should be the manufacture’s plate on the Avion. It will state the serial number, model and the year it was produced.

Where can I get a outside door handle for a 1971 v-25 ?
Hey Trudy,
We had a 1970 31′ Le Grande and I can’t remember who the manufacturer of the handle was. If your door handle is a Bargman L-66, eBay will be your best bet, however, plan on dropping between $250.00 – $500.00 for it.
What is wrong with yours? Missing key? (you can get replacement key cylinders) Broken Handle (you can get a repair plate)? If any of these are you reason, try Vintage Trailer Supply or Vintage Campers.
Hope this helps,
Ross
Hi Ross, I have some questions about my water system on the 1963 Avion Holiday…do you know about this model and how the system works?
Any ideas where I might find the VIN number on my Avion T-27?
Hey Kara,
There should be the manufacture’s plate on the Avion and should be on the curbside. It will state the serial number, model and the year it was produced.
Ross
Hi! Can anyone tell me what the water tank and waste tank (s) sizes are on a 1966 Holiday 24? Thank you!
Hey Kelly,
It’s hard to locate that type of info, but I did read a 1966 Avion sales brochure and it mentioned that they had 26 gallon pressurized water tank system. I would guess that the waste tank would be the same size.
You can check out SilverAvion.com

On a 1973 Avion (LaGrande) the door is warped like and does not close correctly. The bottom section does, but not the top. Are there straps inside the door to re-bow it? Does anyone know how to go about repairing the door to seal shut with the trailer?
Thank you for your time,
Ken and Wendy
Hey Wendy,
I never had that issue with our 1970 La Grande. However, Avion Camping and Restoration is a great place to ask your question. It is a Yahoo Groups forum
Hope this helps and hope you get your door fixed!
Ross
Hi Ross, Since you seem to be answering questions. Do you know about the water system on the 1963 Avion Holiday 24 foot? I am trying to figure it out! Not getting into the Yahoo forums for some reason so looking for another way….Loveofthai@yahoo.com
Hey Stephanie. sending an email. It’s going to be easier this way, so hopefully I can answer some of your questions.
Ross
Hey Stephanie,
Haven’t heard from you. The email must not have gotten to you.
I believe that you have a pressurizer system. I don’t know a lot about them, but would be able to help you with what I do know.
You can shoot me an email and we can go from there.

Just got an all original beatiful avion camper. Cant find a year but it says serial 2015 model r23. Any info anyone can give as to year and value would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Bo, Sorry for the major delay. The Admin’s on this site just now posted your question and one other.
Congrats on your Avion! We loved ours, when we still owned one.
Here is an awesome site for general questions, parts info, etc:

Here is a great forum, “Avion Camping and Restoration”. It is a Restricted Group with 1710 members and is a YAHOO GROUP Forum.
Hope this helps!

HI Ross
We have a 1971 avion le grande, it is in excellent vintage condition. Just needs little things like vent crank mechanism, fans work but just need plastic block that the crank goes through. Also the ouside step will not stay locked in place when pulled out. And we need a new battery box cover. Also was wondering if you knew what wheels originally came on the trailer. It has white ones currently which don’t quite look right. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give us!
Sincerely,
Jim and Dawn
Hey Dawn. I hate to “Cut & Paste” but the info is the same.
We had a Le Grande….loved it, loved it, loved it!!

You will find that CAYO Repair Service has several parts that they manufacture.
Here is a great forum, “Avion Camping and Restoration”. It is a Restricted Group with 1710 members and is a YAHOO GROUP Forum.
As for the correct tires, the Yahoo Group would be my first stop.
I don’t know a lot about the Avion’s, just that we owned one. No one on this site was answering any of the questions, so I jump in and help where I can. I am more of a vintage Shasta buff, when it come to vin#’s.
The 2 sites that I listed above will have all the answers to your questions and if you can’t find them, just ask. The Yahoo site is full of very friendly and helpful people!
Hope this helps!

Would anyone know where I would be able to locate my VIN for a 1971 Voyager? I have the month/year, Serial#, model# and a RVI# but no VIN. Did these trailers have VIN’s during that year? Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thank you!!
Jennifer
Hey Jennifer,
I am no expert about Avions, but the vin# is usually on the manufacture’s plate, which should be on the curbside. It will state the serial number, model and the year it was produced.
This link is from eBay, of a 1979 Avion’s manufacturer’s badge. The “VEH IDENT” NO would be the vin#.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anodized-Aluminum-1979-Model-M-8-1-2M-J-28-AVION-28J-Travel-Trailer-Airstream-/201631465627?forcerrptr=true&hash=item2ef22c009b:g:iPsAAOSwRgJXlnT~&item=201631465627
On other vintage campers, the vin# can be located on the curbside of the tongue (on the side of the tongue), just before the coupler.
You could also check out http://my.execpc.com/~drg/avionrem.html which is all about Avion Travel Trailers. Tons and tons of info on this site!
Wish I could be of more help.
