[A/S] Chuck and his Avion



Hey, a lot of interest, eh Chuck?
  
My x wife and I lived in a '68 28 foot Avion over a very hard winter, 
while we built our house. It was a great little trailer. In fact my 
previous experience with the Avion is what prompted me to get a 
trailer this year. Grant (my son) and I now have a 31 foot Streamline.
I think that you'll probably be very pleased with your choice... and 
it might be the brand you stay with. About the annodizing... one 
fellow said that the sun might "bleach" it out. Everything I've read 
about annodizing suggests that it is an incredibly durable and hard 
surface treatment for aluminium. You can check out www.finishing.com 
for more info on aluminium and applied finishes. One of the reasons 
stains are so difficult to remove is due to the very hard surface.
  
Anyhow, Tom Patterson is a wealth of information. 
Good luck, and take care.
