Our first trip in the Avion went great. Found a few minor things that need tending to, but what do you expect with a 27 year old trailer. Trailer tows great and we get a lot better fuel mileage pulling the Avion than the MS. The MS is gone, sold, money in the bank. We are back to being a one trailer family.

We spent last weekend at the Lake Texoma Thousand Trails preserve. This is our second stay at a TT and we have enjoyed both a great deal. We would really like to have a membership, but are not willing to pay what they want for one. We will be looking at buying an existing membership. We have time to be selective. We think it will be great to be members once we start full-timing.

Looking forward to the next trip in the Avion.

Avion Update

Clean up and refurbish is going well. I have restained most of the woodwork, sanded and painted the rear bumper and trailer tounge, and installed our Hensley hitch. New tires and wheels are on and I took it for a test pull out to Sealy and back. Tows great. Picture was taken while I had it out. We are going on our maiden trip in it next weekend.

Labor Day Weekend

Miss camping this weekend with our friends, but we sure are enjoying some down time. We have not had any time to just do nothing since before vacation. Sitting here tonight watching the NASCAR Atlanta race. We had about 20 minutes worth of rain, nice, but need more. Still have lots we want to do to the Avion, but it will take time and money. Looking forward to our first trip in it. Guess it will be to Lake Texoma to take the tour (sales pitch) at the Thousand Trails campground up there. It will be great to be back up in that part of the state. We used to enjoy taking our sailboat up there and spending the weekend sailing. More next time.

Update

Well, we have been busy since last post. Cleaned up the Mobile Scout and took it to PPL. Been working on cleaning up the Avion 34V. Hard to believe how much nicotine I have cleaned off of everything inside the trailer. They sure did a good job of masking the smoking odor both times when we looked at the trailer. We are looking forward to putting the Avion to good use. New tires on the way, then we can try her out. We have lots of updates planned, just need Mobile Scout to sell so we have the money!
