On a side note, if you're needing something fixed or are thinking of adding on an update or accessory, consider having it done in the Elkhart-Goshen area. We found expert mechanics at fair prices eager to do the work.

Thanks, Thandel! I'm looking forward to going and checking out this museum. Fortunately, no real needs to fix up or amend (right now!)....but its good to know where to go if need be!

If I was 20 years younger (which I'm not) and had the time (which I don't), I'd buy a vintage Avion Truck camper and restore that. They look like an Airstream, riveted aluminum mill finish skin (some were stainless). It's a timeless design. I've seen a few restored ones and they are beautuful...so is the prices.

Saw these last summer while camping at Riverbend Campground near Sweethome, Oregon. A 1947 Westwood Coronado (Red & White), A 1973 Argosy (Blue & White), The Red & Silver didn't have a sign.

I would love to start a thread. I'll get my photos in order for this.
Which specific forum should I post it in?

Under Tech Talk, there is a Modifications and Updates section. That'd probably be as good as any. If it isn't right, the mods will move it to the right place.

Thanks, Pete. There's a ton of work done there, and I feel as though I've just scratched the surface....

Would this make the cut?
Actually, the pic is from an e-mail my cousin sent me... But I like the picture.
