Subject: Hensley Hitch for Sale
FYI
Spotted in the current (March) Trailer Life, (The Woman's' Day of the RV
world) Hensley hitch, used 2 seasons, $1300. Phone 952.938.3355. Area
code is from Minnesota.
Nothing to me, just thought perhaps someone would be interested.

Hello,
I use a product called Wink on my clothes so it
shouldn't hurt clear coat. Your everyday discount
store WM has it in the laundry detergent section.
Hope it helps,

Subject: Re: rust stain removal
Wink is dilute hydrofluoric acid - a reducing agent. Be prepared to rinse
quickly with fresh water!
A milder, but effective reducing agent (reduces iron oxide to iron -
chemspeak) is oxalic acid, which comes as crystals (which look like rock
salt). Dissolve as much as possible in water (saturated solution) and apply
to the rust. Rinse thoroughly. Oxalic acid is carried by large paint
stores. Be sure to get oxalic acid not "substitute for oxalic acid".
Oxalic acid is also used as a mild wood bleach and to lighten discolored,
water stained wood.

Hi, My 67 GT bathroom plastic is faded and stained. My question is: Can
this plastic be sanded primed and painted? If so, what type of paint and
primer will work? Thanks for a response. Dave

Subject: Vintage Airstream Clip-Art?
Does anyone know of a source for free (or very inexpensive) vintage
Airstream "Clip-Art"?
I was thinking of printing up business cards to take when I go out camping,
as I always seem to be scribbling my e-mail address on a scrap of paper for
someone who admired my vintage Airstream :-)

I also recommend oxalic acid, sold as Wood Bleach in crystal form at paint
stores.
I restore old bicycles and my second step after getting all the grease and
gunk off is to take every rusty screw, nut, bolt, wheel, spoke, etc. and
soak them in the oxalic acid mixture to about an hour (10 minutes would
probably do it) to get the rust off. Depending on the initial condition, the
oxalic acid might leave a white powdery residue.

Hi Jeff. There is no lube required for a "dura-torque axle." We have the
shocks on sale on our web site. inlandrv.com They are part number 12416.
They are a "horizontal shock". Regular vertical shocks won't work properly.

Subject: Introduction and Sewer Hose Adapter 62 Tradewind
Hello,
My name is Peter Grover from the Keystone, PA unit. My wife Star and have
been involved in Airstreaming for about five years now and have recently
purchased a '62 Tradewind to complement our '78 Excella. Over the years we
have met many of you folks who contribute to the VAC List. We have read the
Digest version of the discussions for about a year now just waiting for a
chance to participate.
Question? Our 62 Tradewind came without the "Cast Aluminum Sewer Hose
Adapter" and we have no source for a replacement unit. Please advise
regarding either a vendor or a member who might have one to sell. Thank
you!

Perhaps polishing the clearcote with a product such as Walbernize will =
