Adam and the team at Avalon RV were amazing! We had an excellent experience from the first phone call till the last text! If you need any RV solar installation or RV services, we highly recommend this business! They went above and beyond taking care of our Flying Cloud Airstream.

Avalon has worked on my beloved vintage Airstream twice, and they've done expert work both times: solar power, electrical system, plumbing system, propane system, on-demand hot water, ceiling fans...My compliments to the crew, and to the owner, Adam, who is terrifically knowledgeable about these silver beasts and their quirks, as well as being conscientious, thorough, and possessed of a fabulous eye for detail. He makes excellent suggestions ("We could fit on two more solar panels than you requested") really listens to my preferences, and then tailors the work to suit.Moreover, Avalon has been extremely understanding of, and patient with, my needs as a disabled client; I can wholeheartedly recommend their work to anyone with special needs in the ADA realm.They are not the cheapest option, but their meticulous way of working and the splendid results are totally worth what they charge.Services: Retrofitting, Electrical, Battery

I haven't had the opportunity to hire Adam to work on my trailer, but I spoke with him over the phone and he was a great help. Really knows his stuff and courteous. If the opportunity arises, I will trust him with my home.

Adam really knows solar and electrical set ups. I brought my van to him after experiencing an issue with my panels and he was able to troubleshoot and get me back on the road the same day!

I found Adam online and I brought my 63 Shasta 1500 trailer to him for a makeover. New floor, added some electrical, lighting, got my stove working properly, new trailer hitch with sway bar, new inverter, new tires, hub caps and paint. Adam did a fantastic job on her and now Trixie is a head turner as we drive down the highway to our next camping adventure.

Highly knowledgeable with Victron solar components and installations. I used Adam recently to repair some issues, and have the upmost confidence in him and his crew. We communicated well throughout the process with easy to understand demonstration s.I feel much safer now in my 2019 sprinter conversion van.

Avalon RV is where I take my one of a kind trailer and Adam and crew have always taken care of my baby. Really, they're the only ones I trust to work on it and they've flawlessly executed several very tedious repairs, replacements and upgrades on my trailer.

Adam and his crew are the absolute best! They installed a solar and lithium battery system that absolutely makes camping more enjoyable. And they stand behind everything they do. When I had questions as to how things worked, Adam answered all my questions with simple terms, that I could understand. For me, (not being electronically knowledgeable) I am able to use my new equipment with confidence. Even living a couple of hours away, was worth the drive for us to have these professionals work on our RV. I absolutely recommend Avalon RV to people who are looking for pros to take good care of their equipment.....Services: Electrical, Battery

100% recommend Adam and the Avalon Solar team! I was thrilled by the upgrades Adam made to the electrical setup in my bus- everything from installing a battery monitor and new outlets to reconfiguring the battery setup for efficiency + more. His expertise is clear and he was very patient in explaining everything both in our initial consultation and after the work was complete so I felt confident hitting the road. Top notch in every regard! Thanks Adam!

I found Avalon RV and Adam, its owner, to be that archetypical but rare business that exceeded all of my expectations for converting our Class A RV from lead acid (useless) batteries to lithium ion plus lots of solar.Rather than many dealers and shops that stock "complete kits" form a manufacturer to install without a lot of planning (or consideration for the usability of the end result), Adam's work was meticulously planned out and 100% customized to our needs using commercial-level components (such as Victron), and including matching woodwork and various metal fabrications. Superb.Not only that, but his work was installed beautifully, without crowding, and with all cables labeled and a block diagram of the new systems included. A high degree of care and planning for future "serviceability" was used throughout.Just an FYI, I had a great feeling after my first meeting with Adam, especially as I noticed his shop area (both inside and outside) were pristine, with sweeping-up occurring throughout the day. In my experience this tells a lot about what to expect from a shop.Finally, and most comprehensively, if I ever have to do similar work on this or a future RV, its Avalon RV that I will call first.

A five star review of Avalon is a complete no brainer. Adam and his team consistently provide outstanding service. The integrity and honesty we have experienced while working with Avalon have given us, a couple of Airstream newbies, the confidence we needed to hit the road.Adam helped us create a work list on our new 1958 Flying Cloud, helped us prioritize the needed work so we could approach it in phases. Adam patiently explains the work needed, and has taken the time to walk us through the new systems. While our rig had been previously modified, he made sure all essential systems were up to his high standards.We are just completing a two month cross country road trip and it is not an exaggeration to say that we wouldn t have made it without Avalon.

I am so pleased with Avalon RV & Adam Blair, I do not know where to start. The short story is, I have had issues with my cabover camper for 20 years and its inability with the original, and then an updated , solar system keeping the batteries charged for more than a day. I was using 2 new AGM batteries and lucky if I made it camping 1 � days before I needed to run a generator just so I could make it to another day. I had 2 other RV companies look at the system and they had no recommendations. My wife and I were extremely frustrated. We were frugal in our energy use. I tried educating myself about solar systems but the power difficulties continued. Adam found issues with the batteries wired incorrectly along with a barely adequate solar system.Adam is a business man that one appreciates. He listens to your story, then educates you on what is inadequate and what needs to be done to make it right. When you pick up your RV, he then spends the time to inform you on how to use and interpret information from the monitors of the installed solar system.Adam is a blessing. I am an extremely satisfied customer. Dutch Hofmeister

Adam and his team repaired my wheel well damage due to my tire delaminating. The work looked great and other than the aluminum looking new, you can't tell there was ever a problem. I also had him install a new axle, awning, water tank and water heater. The quality of all of the work was top notch.Services: Electrical, Body & TrimServices: Electrical, Body & Trim

This is the first review I've written in years. And the reason is I absolutely loved the knowledge, professionalism, friendlyness and execution of the job Adam & team did for me. My Victron electrical system had some issues so they not only troubleshot and fixed the problem, but also walked me through additional recommendations and followed ups everal times after to make sure the system was working well.Can not recommend a business higher from my experience.Thanks Avalon RV!

I've got a well used off road pop-up trailer, far from the Airstreams the shop specializes in renovating. I needed the electrical completely redone, and wanted to install a solar system that would keep me running in wilderness areas for a week at a time.Adam's shop and service were outstanding. Not only did they go the extra mile to ensure that every item in the trailer was working, they did an excellent job of setting me up with a great solar option that performed exactly as I wanted.Adam's work was first class, the work was completed promptly (much faster than I expected, given the amount of work that needed to be done), and I couldn't be happier. Absolutely worth it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Adam's shop.

Avalon is the quintessential Airstream repair and restoration house in the Bay Area. I have had Adam completely restore my 1968 Trade Wind - replacing every system and appliance including installing solar, axles, brakes, tanks, and remodeling the dining area with a surround booth with both dining and cocktail tables. Adam has had emergency phone calls from me from the road many times - always answers his phone with advice for quick fixes. His work is first rate, timely, and always within budget. I wouldn't want to be a vintage Airstream owner without having Adam in my back pocket....

We loved working with Adam -- he completely renovated our first older Airstream as well as made some raved about mods to our newer Airstream! Adam is fun to work with, very creative, collaborative and detail oriented. He knows his stuff and I can't wait to work on another project with him!

Avalon RV are some of the best people I've ever done business with. Adam who owns and operates Avalon is nothing less than one of the best people I've ever worked with. A truly good and honest business owner who does amazing work. They should get 10 stars.

Had a great experience at Avalon. Adam reccomended the perfect system upgrade for my 2018 Winnebago View and result is working great. We re very good at working with my extended warranty provider and netted me 2k off the system upgrades. Great shop

Solar AdditionWe have an older class B RV ( 98) and debated the effectiveness of attaching a solar to our one battery unit. It s now given us a feeling of comfort in knowing that we can now monitor the voltage and that we can dry camping leaving the refrigerator on battery during the day without draining the house battery.Avalon was informative, convenient in the bay area, reasonable priced and on time. Their equipment lines and connections were neat and used minimal space. We re happy with Avalon and our solar panels.Joe & Judi R.

Adam and his team at Avalon RV are the ABSOLUTE BEST. Besides doing amazing work, they are wonderful people. I never love having to get work done on our trailer, but when I do, I'm so happy to know it's in very good hands with Avalon. My highest recommendation.

I cannot say enough about Adam and his crew. I first met Adam when we purchased an old Terry Trailer that needed some work, not only was everything explained but he took so much time making sure we understood how everything worked or should work. I never saw him roll his eyes (I would have) every time I would stop by which was often, no trailer in tow, to ask him some question about our old trailer, basically free advice if it was something I could fix and he did so with all the patience of a father telling his son how to start the lawn mower, again (except Adam is like 30 years younger than me!). He also inspired us to purchase an Air Stream which we did just a few months ago. He also inspired us to purchase an Air Stream which we did just a few months ago and could not be happier. Its businesses like Adams that renew our faith that there really are good people out there who while needing to and deserve to make a profit, make their customer the ultimate priority. We own a small company ourselves and understand how important that trust is! So, Air Stream or whatever you own, if you want quality, honesty and peace of mind, go see Adam and his crew!David LaFollette

Adam is very collaborative and does a great job advising and educating what could or should be done. They work from a punch list of solutions if you need that or do end to end design. I have been working with Adam on the same project on and off for three years. He's done it all. I like his honest business/crafts man personality.

My wife and I bought a classic 40+ year old RV on EBay, hoping to use it as a mobile office. The photos were beautiful and we bought it "as is" from Michigan, over 2,000 miles away, without an inspection.We peeled back the vintage shag rug to do a simple carpet replacement and discovered that the wood floor and the overhead sleeping area were rotten with mold and wood decay from years of hidden water leaks. We soon had a long list of problems with plumbing, electricity, woodwork, appliances, cabinets, etc.I checked out Avalon RV Restoration and liked the owner and the crew. They seem to love the restoration of classic trailers and do excellent work. They have about a dozen vintage trailers on the lot, mostly Airstreams, being restored or in line for restoration. I waited eight weeks for a slot.Their prices are fair and the quality of work is superb. From custom cabinetry to ingenious electrical upgrades, you couldn't ask for more. Thanks to Avalon, we now have a beautiful wood interior, warm low-amp LED lighting, upgraded heater, modern upgraded converter and inverter, re-worked plumbing, new rooftop sealant, a first-rate battery bank, and high-output solar panels. They flood-tested the clear, gray, and black water tanks, and pressure tested the entire RV for leaks. The floor is actually stronger and better than new, with new frame welding and foam insulation sandwiched between marine plywood--no squeaks, no spongy spots, and finished with understated Marmoleum.Avalon saved our vintage RV from the junk heap and kept a beautifully restored work of art on the road.

Avalon RV is the best experience so far in helping us complete our Airstream. Adam is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. I m confident we will be very pleased with our choice in using Avalon RV.
