Mine too has vinyl covered aluminum on the interior.
The edges of all the aluminum/vinyl interior wall sheets has a white vinyl J molding that covers the exposed edges. I have found similar moldings online but not exactly the same.
The reason I need some more of the j molding is because I cut the main interior wall panels in the front and rear to be able to remove them without taking out every interior sheet. Additionally, The piece on the ceiling and the main ones on the walls are so big that it looked like it might be a real pain to take them off in one piece.
Ticki, to get the end caps off you either have to take off all the interior panels or cut them like I did. The caps are under the ceiling and wall panels and have another inner aluminum piece that they are riveted to as well.

General information , re: J edging for interior panels . I found this at VTS . It has a little more lip but will work . I decided not to use any edging on the new wood grain panels except where it meets the white original panels and for that I used the original edging that was where the plastic front met the aluminum .

67 avion , it has been mentioned , ( avion c-11 ? ) , that the roof rivets were pop rivets and not buck rivets . When I did my repair I found that they were all buck rivets . Will yo tell us what you find ?
Good luck with your repair , any questions give a shout .
'68 Avion C-11
'02 GMC DRW D/A flatbed
I call it a C-11, but it's model plate on the back says:
9-3513SD
Maybe that is why it also has different jacks.
Ford F-350 4x4 Diesel
1988 Avion Triple Axle Trailer
1969 Avion C-11 Camper
67 may I ask a stupid question? Why do you
not just rivet a patch over those holes and call it
a day? (again I think it just adds more character to
a beautiful camper, and besides those little pppdings are symetrical)
That's how I customized mine.
That vent strainer, is that a plug? I need some of
those.
Just lovin on the road yall!

What a cool looking rig!
Thanks Dave; thats what its all about!
Avion campers are one of a kind. I am
installing a marine electric hot water heater with heat exchanger.
That way I can run off truck engine heat when rolling and I am installing a hydronic
heater to also run off the water heater. I have
a wave 3 but I am just too paranoid about gas fumes
to use it in a confined space. If anyone is interested,
I certainly can pass my experiences along. It certainly
isn't stock, but is neato!
