Topic: Avion truck campers - Hundreds of photos

Interesting. I had the remnants of the "removable clothes rod" in my bathroom, but they were in rough shape and the rod itself was missing so I took them out.

Does anyone know what the storm windows were like?

The storm windows are clear Plexiglas framed in aluminum with a small step in the frame that matches the step in the window trim.
They're held in place by the plastic "clips" you see on your window trim.
Mine are in storage right now otherwise I'd post some pics.

I remember when this thread started, and now we are on page 125! Well, mine is in the yard waiting for some minor cabinet adjustment to install the 12V Engle refrigerator. Can't wait, since the kids are ready to do some camping! Just trying to find some time...

Gary, it has been quite a thread. I'll probably post the final pictures of the 67 Avion restoration in the next week or so. I've had some last minute issues with it, as I noted in some other posts. In particular, I couldn't make it to the Overland Expo because of electrical problems. That was a real disappointment. But, we all keep plugging along. I hope we'll hear from some of the others as they make progress. In the meantime, may the clouds part and the sun shine in Kodiak.

I will be starting the restoration of my 1968 C11 within the next two months so I'll be posting progress and asking questions.

I have already learned a LOT from this forum and the Avion posts specifically. I plan on gutting the interior and adding things like solar panels. I hope to restore most of the original wood cabinets. I will install a Corian countertop in the kitchen. Will be adding a Stable Lift lift system which I already purchased used. Lots of ideas it's just a matter of time and money. Looking forward to the challenge.

What kind of jacks do you currently have on the camper? If they are La Jaga jacks, let me know if I can purchase the crank handle and maybe one jack.
