Winter Research

It's been pretty cold, so most of the work on the Avion has been pretty limited. I've definitely spent more hours digging around on the internet than any actual work on the camper.  One thing that we found worthwhile was an afternoon stomping around in the snow (and indoors) at a local RV Show to check out what's going on in the world of new RV's. While there's some pretty cool things happening with new campers of all sizes, this visit confirmed that "vintage" is still the right thing for us. Besides how much we've enjoyed spending time at TCT rallies with our Shasta, we just really like the old materials and aesthetics of campers from the 50's and 60's. The show also helped provide a reality check, as the price of new campers helped us realize that some of the components that we might want to purchase for the Avion are not so expensive after all. There were only a few Truck Campers at the show, but we did come back home with some ideas and good insights that will help a lot with the Avion.
