G'day,
I got an email from the cabinet maker that was going to make these cabinets asking what was happening with this deal. I noted that I
had not heard back from any of the Avion owners that had expressed an interest.
I suspected it could because of the price.
I have contacted the three Avion owners that expressed interest OFF NET but if anyone else is interested please let me know if you
are and what you feel the cabinet is worth taking into consideration the information in the email below.
Be advised that Helen did not want this cabinet to restrict the view out the rear window and therefore it does not hang down any
lower than pleated blinds attached to a piece of 3/4" wood screwed into the flat area above the rear window. I will add a photo
showing that to the album in the link below.
Regards,
Rob M.

Subject: [GMCnet] Avion Rear Window Cabinet
G'day,
Back before Amana I published an email noting that I had a cabinet that went above the rear window of my 26' Avion made by a cabinet
maker in Humble, TX.
For those of you who have Avions and missed the first round here’s a link to the cabinet on the Photosite:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g6174-rear-window-cabinet-avion-only.html
Just before I returned to Sydney in October I spoke to the cabinet maker (John Everett) and he advised that he would be willing to
make a group of them and have them ready when I return to the USA on March 19th so I could bring them to Dothan.
I returned to Sydney, got caught up with things here and completely forgot about the cabinet. A few days ago Tom contacted me and
asked what was going on with the cabinets. I noted that I had completely forgotten and that I would have to contact the cabinet
maker to see if he was still interested in making them. I have done so and he's ready to start as soon as he gets the go ahead from
me. He will charge $250 per cabinet.
Here's the deal:
He will provide the main body of the cabinet and a second piece that will connect the cabinet to the plastic liner above the window.
As you can see in the photos the cabinet is made from pine. In case the cabinets are not all in exactly the same location in each
coach that piece must be made separately and custom cut to fit to each Avion. It will match the curvature of the plastic liner
around the window.
If desired I will provide the following parts from my parts Avion FOC (until I run out):
1) Birch veneer 3'8" particle board cabinet doors cut to size.
2) Wood trim for the cabinet doors.
3) Hinges and screws for the cabinet doors.
4) Antique brass door pull knobs and “scroll” trim.
5) The plastic parts that keep the cabinet doors closed in transit.
The above parts will be delivered loose, you will have to refinish the doors, attach the hinges, door pull scroll work, and wood
trim.
PLEASE study the photographs in the link above to make sure you understand how the cabinet will be constructed and that it will meet
your requirements. If you are interested please email me at robmueller at iinet dot net dot au. If you would like any changes to the
cabinet let me know and I'll ask the cabinet maker if it's possible.
This cabinet is custom fit for a 26' Avion; it will not fit a GMC made by anyone else. Michael Bozardt had some made for GMC's,
however, I don’t know if he has any left.
Regards,
Rob M.
