Greetings, list, and many thanks to those who brought it back to life! I participated pretty heavily early this year, and as a direct result of all you folks help and advice, went from a know-nothing to a proud owner of a '75 argosy 26 in a matter of weeks, which I bought with the intent of converting to a home office. I've been working out of it as a freelance writer all day every day for six months or so now, and it has been a perfect setup and the envy of all my cubical-bound ex-collegues (I quit a 13 year corporate career to do this) who love to stop over for lunch, gaze out my wraparound windows, and dream. The "airstream office" seems to be a metaphor, for them and for me, of the individualism and freedom of self-employment. Well. Enough philosophy. I've made and continue to make very gradual repairs and modifications, all with great care that they are completely reversable, saving all parts, etc. so that I can take the thing on the road as an original someday should I want to. And I'm sure I will. I've learned a few things that I would like to share, and have a few more questions to ask of all you experts, whom I want to thank most warmly. I'll do so in separate messages, each with a heading appropriate to the topic, as time permits. Again, thank you all for all the help you've offered along the way.
