Ed and VIckie,
Welcome to the RV Dreams forums. Yours will be the second recent RV restoration that will be of interest of many of us. Personally, we bought new because I am worthless with trying to restore almost anything. However, I can still appreciate good work from others. You might consider starting a blog, which will let you post numerous pictures as your restoration evolves.
Feel free to ask questions and make comments as we all tend to learn from each other. Glad to have you as part of the "family."

I was curious to see what your motorhome looked like...
...so I looked it up on the Internet...
...but, when I was browsing to look for it ...I came across 'this' ...that I thought you'd be interested in.

Welcome! I'm pretty new here and have found all the folks to be the most wonderful people around, very knowledgeable and helpful. I have never heard of AVCO, and definitely second the "start a blog" idea so we can follow along. I'm in MidTenn and attempting to get my project home, a 1970 American Leisure Time Industries Caboose travel trailer. I hope your remodel is less extensive than mine is turning out to be! LOL

I've never done a remodel myself, but I just wanted to say Welcome and good luck with everything! A blog to show your progress is a great idea!!

Though, it's nothing that can't be fixed.
