Subject: airstream coverings
Hi folks, have very much enjoyed the various topics of discussion lately.
Recently I took a train trip down the east coast from Boston south. I
noticed many boats dry-docked with various kinds of tarps over them. However
one type of covering caught my eye...it seemed to be like shrink wrap
plastic only quite thick, maybe cream colored or even blue I don't really
remember the color. Anyway I'm curious if it may be an option to cover the
A/S for the winter? I appreciate anyone's input. Thankyou.

Hello,
I recently finished total floor replacement on my 67 GT. It was alot of =
work and everything touching the floor came out including the lower =
interior panels. My floor was consumed with carpenter ants and water =
leaks. I was unable to use the old plywood pieces as a pattern so =
before removal I made templates from #30lb. roofing felt cut to fit =
against the aluminum floor channel and then added the width of the =
channel to the layout so the front and rear curved sections matched the =
old. It was time consuming but not very expensive. Rough estimate on =
materials was about $400.00 (plywood, screws, Olympic rivets, pop =
rivets, vulkem sealant bolts etc. =20
Good luck, Dave =20

Hi All,
I used the discussion group some time ago but haven't been participating =
for a while.
Here's our story. We are Mike and Lisa Thornton. We have two children =
Ben and Rebecca, 6 years old. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 trailers. =
Hence the e-mail address 'silverark'. We are originally from California =
but transplanted to Eustis, Florida almost 4 years ago.
Our Airstream history includes our first purchase of the 1965 Safari. =
This trailer was completely gutted. The rear floor had to be replaced. =
The plan was to gut it and make it how we wanted. Which we are still =
working on. It is towable and we actually took it camping last =
Thanksgiving to Cape San Blas, Florida.
Our second purchase was a 1954 Safari. This one has a brief but =
interesting story. We were out for a Sunday drive and found it for sale =
in a horse pasture. We bought it on the spot. After several months of =
contemplating what to do with it we decided to sell it. A gentleman =
from Belgium bought the trailer. He flew to Florida and liked what he =
saw. I towed it to Jacksonville the next day and put it on a ship =
headed for Europe. His planned use was for something other than a =
travel trailer. Before it departed we were able to strip the inside =
giving us some new bed bases and overhead cabinets for the 65 Safari. =
Very nice aluminum bases and cabinets. We look back on it now and =
really regret selling that one. Oh well, live and learn.
This brings me to our third and current project. A 67 Ambassador. =
Where do I start. How 'bout where most restorations start. The =
bathroom floor. In this case it is the bathroom floor and the rear =
frame. I've gaken the entire bathroom out. The tub is sitting in the =
front since it will not fit out the door. Trailers are an excellent =
example of reversre engineering. Trailers were built from back to =
front. It is difficult taking them apart back to front.
I will be taking it into the wedling shop in the next few weeks to have =
the frame evaluated. I will be redoing the streetside kithchen. New =
cabinets with a new layout. I also have to line up a sofa or sometype =
of dinnete for the front. Mine is missing. The previous owners were =
living in this one so there are quite a few little things to work on. =
In addition to the serveral major things.
While I have not done a full floor replacement like Dave I do consider =
myself an expert on floor removal and replacement.
Well that's about it for right now. I do have one question or point of =
discussion. Aluminum wiring - My trailer has it. I don't plan on using =
it but wondering if anyone has experience with it.
Here's a link to our pictures. I don't have any of the Ambassador out =
there yet.

Subject: Question on cleaning drapes
Good morning,
I took a close look at the drapes in our '75 Sovereign, and see that
they need some cleaning. They appear to be the original curtains, but
are slightly water stained and there is some nicotine residue from the
previous owners.
They seem to have a rubberized material on the backside. Should these
curtains be laundered or dry cleaned? I don't want to damage the
backing material by doing it the wrong way.
Thanks,
Roger

We've discussed aluminum wire extensively that should be in Patterson's
archives. The experiences with aluminum branch circuit wiring hasn't
been good in general. Its unsafe with the original switches and
receptacles. There are more modern receptacles made for aluminum wire
that are safer, but still I don't think as safe as using copper wire.
Those receptacles are rare in home centers and run about $2.75 each when
found. I need to replace wire in my '68 Caravel, but in the mean time
I'm not using the 120 volt wiring.

Roger, I too was unable to bring up the RM Rally photos, although I sent those as well
as mine along to RJ Dial who will be posting them the VAC web Rally site. It was a 5 mb
download, so hopefully RJ received them all. I also sent them to Bryan Burkhard for
the Vintage Advantage. If anyone with high speed "net connections want them, I have
them,
including some 1 mb each high res photos.

Hi Randy,
I did the web page with Netscape 6.1, and that seems to be the problem.
The page isn't looking for the pictures on the web server, but rather
on my machine, which it can't find for anyone but me, :-).
Trying to fix that. The main reason I posted it was so my kids could
check out the rally and our Yellowstone trip. Guess I'll just have to
e-mail the stuff to them.
Take care,
Roger

Couldn't see them, and now the page is gone..wish I had printed the original
source so I could see how you linked them.
If you want, I can put them up on my page with a url that points to them
only, not the qrp stuff.
Bob

Hello All!!!
I'm now into redoing the plumbing on my '66 Ambassador.
My questions are; Has anyone else done a complete water line redo?
Did you find or need to put in a filter in the li=
ne that is by the fresh water pump?
If you used the same type filter, where in the wo=
rld did you get it?
Can this be left out?
Thanks
Bobby
