A company originally founded in 1955 as Romany Coach built the Avion which were designed for high durability and comfort. Avion is similar to the popular Airstream brand products. Lawsuits from Airstream were brought against Avion on that basis but the conclusion was never proven in court. AVION motorhomes were produced in 1977 and 1978 by AVION (a subsidiary of Fleetwood) the big aluminum travel trailer builder. These Class C units were the epitome of high class luxury. Only 115 units were ever produced and most are still on the road. Everything about them was ultra high quality for the time. Cabinetry and bodywork were exceptional quality at the time.
