Good morning,

if anyone on the list is located in that area, and would be willing to
look at one for sale
(<http://www.bethunesales.com/listings/hysert.html>) I'd appreciate a note.

Thanks.

Good rnorning, Peer;

I'm about an 1 1/2-2 hr drive from Dunnville ON but could go if you're not in a rush for the review.

looks good in the photo's, but they almost always do.

Find out if it's running and if there's good access to it. We've had a lot of snow, and are about to get a lot of rain, so if it's sitting outside in a field, access to see the underside of the coach will be minimal at best for the next few weeks.

Let me know how I can help.

Regards,

Scott Cowden

I think I remember that coach from the Goshen rally. It is one we installed new windshields in. Unfortunately I do not remember much of the details as we installed a bunch of windshields that weekend. As least we know that it was being used 2.5 years ago.

Peer,

This is a unique Avion, the Love Seat has been removed and replaced with cabinets and the dresser between the beds has been
modified.

The trim and knobs on all the cabinet doors is correct which makes me wonder if this wasn't done at the factory. The kitchen counter
top is NOT original. The cabinets above the dinette are the correct type but if you compare these pictures to the brochure below you
will see they are not there.

Thanks for looking at the ad.

I had a phone chat with the owner. He re-did the interior. I am mainly
interested in the mechanical/driveability state, rust and dryness of the
vehicle.

Peer,

If that coach spent it's life up in Canada you DEFINETELY want the frame inspected CLOSELY. If someone volunteers to go look it over
I'll walk them through where / how to check it.
