Greetings all,

My wife and I just purchased an Avion. I arrived home late on July 4th with the coach, driving from Georgia to Oregon. Now we begin the long process of repair and upgrades. Due to the comments on this site which I have been lurking since March, we decided to use it as is for a season before making major changes. Fix anything that's broke and make one bed out of the twins for now. Then make changes to the interior later.

I am not a mechanic and not overly talented in that area. I am hoping to do what I can and hire others for the rest.

If anyone has a propane oven/range, in good repair, that they took out and would be willing to sell it, we will be looking for them. My wife said the oven is a necessity. She loves to cook. We also will looking for a dinette in good repair.

Now on to my two questions...On the way home I noticed fumes in the cockpit. One suspicion is the old gasket around the engine hatch. Has anyone a recommendation on what material to use to replace the gasket? The local auto parts store didn't have much to offer and I didn't see anything on Applied GMC's site.

Also, I want to place CO and propane detectors in the coach and was wondering where others have placed them.

Finally, I want to thank the many people who have put good information out here since I have been lurking. I have already learned a lot. Also thanks to Bob Stone, Ken H., and Manny for assistance on the trip home. I ended up learning more with an actual object to work on. Whoever said to use the hump on the dash to position the coach on the road gave an invaluable tidbit for driving a larger RV than our last one.

Off to the DMV today to register and title the coach and hopefully find a home for the coach to keep the Oregon weather off.
