Vehicle description
1970 Avion A24 ???? Vintage Trailer / Camper
Avions were designed as an improved/luxury alternative to Airstream. Engineers added rigid foam insulation, aircraft grade aluminum, metal framing, wider center aisle for more headroom. But you"ll find the layout is definitely Airstream and most of the parts are interchangeable. Spend some time and Google Avions. I bet you"ll want one after you"ve read a bit!
Clear title in hand Trailer is currently stored in Boerne, TX 24’ long from hitch to bumper 3500 lbs dry weight (check your vehicle manual for tow limits) Cozy & dry! We love this camper, but are ready for something smaller. Hoping this goes to a wonderful home where she can have many more adventures.
Please note that in the photos of the kitchen, it shows the old veneer cabinets. They have since been painted with Sherwyn Williams pine green, which you"ll see in other photos. The bathroom remains original. We can get the paint mix information to you, should you ever need to make touchups. Want to drive here, pick up, and camp your way home? YES, YOU CAN DO IT. This unit is campable as-is. You"ll love it! ! Want to buy, but can"t get to the area right away? No worries. We"re happy to help make arrangements for you. Yes, you can have it delivered, but you"ll need to make arrangements. We can help coordinate on our end. The silver propane tanks shown are not available. They had to be removed due to age and legality around filling. The lines have all been replaced, are new, safe, and ready for new tanks to be added. Much of the work done to it was performed at Cayo in Michigan. They"re the family who started Avion, so it"s been cared for by the best. If you ever need anything for this trailer, Chuck"s your guy. Manuals and information readily available online, but we have a printed copy as well
HIGHLIGHTS Skin is in *great* condition for being 50 years old. An Avion in this shape is very rare. And an Avion around Austin is even more rare. We just moved it down from Chicago, near where they were originally manufactured. So you may not find another of this age and condition in these parts for a long time. The skin is anodized aluminum, so no polishing needed. It has a soft silver glow to it in person. Original doorknobs & locks work great! (Pretty unusual!) Working water heater Newer tires Battery, water tank & electric pump for off grid camping. Full-size fold down sofa in front with memory foam mattress. 2 twin beds in rear Full kitchen: Working stove, oven, sink, fridge, microwave Full bath: Shower, sink, toilet, linen cabinet Sunbrella rope & pole awning (From Marti"s Awnings. Very good quality in a vintage-style pattern) Tons of storage Interior ceiling height is aprox 6"7". (My 6"5" husband can comfortably stand upright) Fresh water tank, electric pump, and black water / gray water tank. Original electric ceiling vents with fans (2)
NEW Fridge Microwave Rooftop AC LP lines (propane) Propane tank cover Custom accordion door to separate sleeping areas Memory foam mattress Battery with solar trickle charger Flat screen TV Neat upcycled carom game table (see pics)
Works but plan on improving: Breaker box Floor tile
Needs: New electric jack (manual still works) Upgrade to PEX water lines (for better wear through freezing temps) Soft spot by front door due to old weather stripping (Needs wood cut out in that spot and replaced. Not hard.)
