    Help

    Here's a thought: If you build the beds up higher (4 feet, to 6 feet above the floor) all that space UNDER is cabinetry, and highly usable. Master above in the front, with galley to one side, Kids near on the other side. Remember: If you are making this for habitation, you HAVE to have escape...

    84 Avion

    I own an 84 Avion, and want to add an entertainment center to the front area above the couch, so that the bed is still usable, (convertable couch) and so that the new shelving/cabinetry only takes up about half the front, curves around the left side and across the side to the kitchen cabinets. ...

    Travel Trailer Front Window Rock Guard

    this really depends on the age of your trailer. If it is recent, the manufacturer or dealer should have what you need If older, especially if you could call it "vintage" you may have to go to the classic suppliers like Caro. Hold on to your wallet. I had a corner of the rock guard blow off...

    Freezing in my trailer

    Avoid using the cook stove to heat the inside. Good way to get gassed! Run the propane furnace, and enjoy the heat. One thing that really helped move the heat, from cooking etc, was to put a small 12 volt fan up near the ceiling, out of the way, blowing downward. Only took a few seconds...

    Restoration work

    We own a 1984 avion, 30 foot, with queen bed. We love it. I can buy a new rig, but really like the way this one tows, and the way it is built. It's a classic. We have replaced all the appliances, except the microwave which we hardly ever use. My biggest challenge has been repairing the rock...

    Winter travel.

    Cheyenne to Syney was slippery. I used 4WD almost all the time on ice. I only shut it off when I was tesing. I wanted power from the front as well as the back at all times. the Dodge 2500 is shift on the fly, and can go up to 55 in 4 WD, according to the manual. The truckers were quite helpful...

I am currently in Des Moines IO, but am willing to mailorder, if I can find the...

    Bound for the Northwest (What am I thinking)

    You are going into an area that still has lots of power outages, but they are working on that. Yo might consider flying in, and renting a rig (if being in a MH is better for you to do your work). the roads are the big problem, especially getting over passes. According to info that I have been...

    about the missing guy in oregon

    Appreciate the comment Wendy. I strongly suggest learning from this man's actions. I worked SAR for years, and pulled people out of the most idiotic situations, imaginable. in fact, we constantly ran into situations we NEVER imagined. When not RVing, I spend most of my time in the woods, winter...
