So true.
Jane wouldn't let me take the Mokie Dugway. She just took one look at it and said no. Then that night she was surfing the web while we were camped at Muley Point (you can get 4 bars there...) and looked up Moki on Trip Advisor. Trip Advisor???? Who knew?
Thankfully it had good reviews, so we went down it in the morning.
Life is blessed on Muley Point ;-)

Does your faucet look similar? I think the spout section may actually be removable from the base on this one also. If any of it will work for you, you're welcome to it.
I lived in central FL for about 3yrs, the heat never bothered me. It's those **** mosquitoes, you dont swat em off you wipe them off. My project would never have gotten started if I still had to contend with that.
I hear Alaska is worse?
Very few skeeters in southern UT. Blessed indeed.
Just imagine a parade of classic aluminum winding it's way up the Dugway shortly before sunset.

Yes!
I am really hoping I get this thing done before summer, I don't do well down here in the humidity.

I just had a look at the sink faucet. Pretty sure the packings on this one are serviceable but the 'spout section' is busted where the shower hose comes out. Sorry I hadn't noticed before.

Sorry I can't help out with any OEM Avion bathroom stuff. Mine was all given when I bought mine. As for Mosquitos in Alaska, it really depends on the time of year and part of the state. Kodiak doesn't have much a problem with mosquitos. While anywhere on the mainland can get really bad. This year with the mild winter we've been having, mosquitos will probably be pretty bad this summer. Of course if you come here in the winter, there is no need to worry about mosquitos! ;-)

It's been forever and a couple of days since I've had a chance to get in here. Lots of changes. New job, but nearing retirement date. We have put our home on the market, and set up an Estate Sale person to liquidate most of our belongings, including the AVION. and, we just bought ourselves our new "home", a 1998 28-foot Coachman 5th-wheel. Like I said, lots of changes and adjustments.
Learning to be a full-timer is much more complicated than I'd imagined, so I began researching where I had learned so much about our AVION, thought I'd take a look at what's been going on since last time we were online, and just say a quick "hello" and Thank You All, just one more time for all the great photos, tips, and encouraging words.
Best to you and yours. Hope to see you in the parks.
See y'all on the roads, or in the parks.

I went the tiny window unit route to cool the avion, mainly because no new holes needed to be cut. It just went in the old frig vent. The problem has been that it cools the floor well, while the loft stays hot. Then just when the loft starts to cool off, the unit shuts down because the thermostat only goes so low. A fan helps quite a bit, but the problem isn't solved. The solution I found is a device called Coolbot, it allows a window unit to cool down to 38^ without freezing up! Now I can hang meat in the camper!!!!!!!!
Garry You're right about the mild weather this winter. I really enjoy it now but know the mosquitoes will come collect their due in record numbers. Can't see the Auora with 24hrs of daylight, hmmmm...
Good luck Tonyj and Shirley. Sounds like you are transcending to a whole new level of freedom. Enjoy it!
I wondered where winter was? Cajun has it trapped in his camper.
Keep it as long as you'd like.
The plan was to put the new furnace in the hole from the old fridge just like Cajun's AC. I had the lines marked, snips in my hand but couldn't bring myself to cut the louvers in the fridge door to accommodate the furnace vent. But the furnace had to go on the left wing, I had no other place for it. Once again, precious inches are pilfered from the dinette area for projects of a higher priority.
The dinette 'bench' ended up at 5'7".
The table 36" x 22-1/4"
Long story short, she's done. All systems function, no leaks(for now). It could use some trim here and there, curtains or shades and probably a few things I've completely missed. Enough work! Time for a test run and a beer(not concurrently). Just have to go over the truck to see what kind on trip it's ready for.
