All GMC Avion's are 1975 units. They have the upgrades done for the 1975 model year. They also will have power level.

<http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/rvs/2487320036.html>

From just looking at the ads, the last one (minneapolis) looks like the best deal.

The other 26 (grandrapids) LOOKS like the coach used by an English couple to tour the US a few years ago. IF it is the one, they bought it sight unseen, flew in and started to drive around the country. They where not even carrying a screwdriver until given one at a rally in Oregon. I never did find out how well the trip went.

G'day,

I agree, the Minneapolis unit is in very nice shape!

Anybody got any ideas what the placard mounting on the underside of the hood is?

As well as the black gizmo and the white gizmo on the outlet of the LPG tank?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/65181171@N02/5934754489/in/photostream

Looks like it's parked next to another GMC.

The microwave installation is really well done!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/65181171@N02/5934739375/in/photostream/

I wonder if it comes with the theft prevention system?

Note the fold up extension at the end of the galley counter.

Those front wheels appear to be set out with spacers. Someone took care to
do stuff. Darn good price. Rob, do you need a another one just in case
Double Trouble needs a friend?

The white thing is legends to the fuse and relay panel also visible in the
engine compartment.

Rob, my quess would be that someone was making an attempt to come up with a two stage regulator as all the new regulators are. The white object was a leak detector which was used on many of the late 70's to mid 80's RV products. Under the red cap was a plunger button which you would depress and if the system had a leak you would see bubbles in the fluid which was in the lower section. JWITIR... Jim
