Hi Airstreamers
Thank you for your support & suggestions both on & off list.
I will use my simple battery charger in place of the univolt & carry the
"RV" battery from trailer to trailer as needed.

Subject: Water System Problem
Hello Group,
I need to tap the knowledge and wisdom of the group again.
I have a 1973 20 ft. Argosy camper with a PAR Model 6970-J pump in the
fresh water system. The fresh water system worked OK last Fall when we pumped
RV anti-freeze into it and the remainder of the system works fine this Spring
when connected to city water pressure. In trying to get the on-board system
(tank, pump, strainer, accumulator, etc.) ready for self-contained type of
camping for this weekend, the pump won't build pressure in the system-a very
little stream of water is developed in the galley sink and the pump won't
shut off even with all other valves closed. (Note that the pump is stored
inside during the winter.)
The diaphragm, intake & discharge valve assemblies were replaced 3-4
years ago and seem in very good condition. I believe that the remainder of
the pump is original. A check of the voltage to the motor indicates about 12
V dc and the motor seems to be running fine.
I know that the line from the tank through the
strainer/pump/acculmulator and check valve is unclogged. Since this is a very
simple system it would seem that, perhaps the only item left which could be
worn too much is the pump eccentric.
Has anyone else experienced such a problem? Any idea where to obtain
such parts as the eccentric? I'm looking for any help or advice the group can
provide.
Thanks,
Richard Pittenger

Dear Ed,
Oh goody! It's tiles. I knew that but I just couldn't find any reference
to them until today. I went to a contractor flooriing company (as opposed
to a retail Home Depot) and they knew of StepMaster tiles but cautioned me
that they were pricey. Then I come home and receive your email which
corroborates their existence and says that they are essentially worth the
price.
The bottom line is that I have found a source for all those nifty floor
coverings and don't have to settle for peel and stick.

Subject: 66 Caravel Water Heater Cover
I need the water heater cover for the outside of the 66 Caravel. Is the best
bet to get a sheet metal place to make one? One of the guys on the list sent
me a good picture. Are there any resources for one? Anyone had one made and
what was the cost? I thought I would have 2 made if the cost isn't too bad so
if one comes loose or whatever I would already have the next one ready.
Also this weekend I took down my folding door and took it to an uphosterer
that thinks he can resew and fix so I can keep the original. I hope it turns
out well. The vinyl was still pretty flexible and worked pretty well.

KPrice,
It is important to know whether the 66 Caravel and the 66 Safari have
the same heater and cover. I don't want to get your hopes up BUT if I get
the in line (tankless) water heater installed, I don't think I will be using
the stock cover. Lot of ifs here. First let's see if anybody knows if the
two different models are compatible.

Richard,
If your trailer has a bypass valve, be sure it's closed. My '68 G.T.
had one, used for filling the onboard tank while connected to city
water. If it is left open, you'll get no pressure from the pump. You
will probably get pressure from the city water connection, but it'll
also be filling the tank.
Don't ask me how long it took me to figure this out, and I KNEW about
the valve. :-(

The Microsoft Outlook Express is default HTML messages. To correct
this problem turn on your computer and click on Outlook Express. When it's
up and running click on Tools and then at the bottom Options. A lot of
pages come up and click on Send. Now near the bottom of this page there is

If we cant find any, I can always scan and digitize one myself. Anyone have

Karl,
I think your question is valid and points out the need for the VAC group
to invite some outside consultants who are professionals in their fields to
answer questions. Three subjects that come to mind are flooring, plumbing
and major appliances. I'm thinking more about comparative features and
pricing as well as technical issues.

Didn't you mean "commercial grade Linoleum tile" because they haven't sold
asbestos in many years.
Stepmaster is vinyl tile but of industrial grade and finish. It comes in
12"x12" tiles. Old Asbestos tiles came in 9"x9" tiles.

Subject: Re: Asbestos floor tile
Bob, et al ~
1. Vinyl Asbestos Tile (aka VAT) - 9"x9" squares stopped being made in 1973
+/-
2. Vinyl Composition Tile (aka VCT) - 12"x12" squares replaced VAT. Some
manufacturers are Armstrong, Mannington, Tarkett, Congoleum, etc. These are
made with compressed vinyl chips held together with vinyl binders.
3. Vinyl Tile (aka VT) - 12"x12" squares. Same manufacturers as VCT but
different product. These are "poured or molded" tiles that are made in
sheets than cut down into tiles. These are more of your decorative or
"wood" patterns.
4. Sheet Vinyl - usually comes in 6' or 12' wide rolls and usually has a
backing material, but the top surface can be similar to either VT or VCT.
5. Linoleum - Sheet or Tile is 100% natural it's made with linseed oil,
wood flour, pigments and has a jute backing. It was the standard before the
days of man-made vinyls...it's what was in your "Grandma's House". The 2
biggest US suppliers of linoleum are Forbo "Marmoleum" and Armstrong
"Marmorette"
VAT & VCT are primarily synthetic man-made material & binders, VAT used
Asbestos (which is a natural material) as a bulking material and VCT uses
vinyl chips. VT starts off as a liquid form of vinyl material and is
colorized & poured into patterns. The "best = durable" tiles are those that
are solid vinyl all the way through the tile. The front and back almost
look the same. The softer vinyl tiles & sheet vinyls that have backing are
not as durable, they are more susceptible to gouges. The cost differences
in vinyl products are based on what density the vinyl has (i.e.
denser=harder), the backing & thickness of the actual vinyl and at places
like Home Depot, the demand for the product.
I am interior designer, primarily having commercial project experience. I
am not familiar with the "StepMaster" product so I can't advise specifically
why it is "so expensive". I tried a search on the Armstrong website & came
up blank.
Sorry for the lengthy message, I just wanted to help clarify the confusion
between the products.

Not sure what it was called Linoleum or Vinyl but it was supposed to be
industrial grade. Yes it's against the law to make Asbestos anything...
And it comes in 12 inch squares. For a trailer 9 inch is better.

Richard,
The first thought that comes to mind is a stuck check valve in the pump. Have
you tried pumping from a bucket in the driveway? Holding a thumb over the pump
discharge ( best done in warm weather and old clothes, GRIN) if there is
alternating pressure and suction then the discharge valve needs a closer look, if
no pressure at all I'd look at the intake valve. Putting your thumb over that
one you should feel a definite pulsating suction.
YMMV,

I replaced my floor with one whole sheet of linoleum that was a remnant

Subject: Re: Shower traps
What you describe is one of two layouts for the Airstream "all in one
shower/toilet bathrooms". The toilet sits on the shower pan which sits
on the black water tank, and the bathroom walls are the shower stall
walls and the bathroom walls at the same time - and the bathroom shape
is usually square. This is the rarer of the two, and the shower drain
usually goes down to a trap via a U shaped cutout in the specially made
tank.
The more common layout has the floor two-tiered, with the drain on the
lower level and the toilet perched up over the tank. These bathroom are
usually rectangular.
Since the shower never goes to the black water tank, and the tank sits
up on top of the flooring, conventional traps work fine.
Now, if you are developing a new installation, that's another story....

At first glance this whole business sounds silly, but then I keep looking
down at the bare wood floor and I can see the lines where the old tiles
layed. Then I try to imagine larger tiles and how it will look and I am
inclined to agree with Karl and Jim about the possibility of cutting them to
size.
I have found some fine looking Congoleum tiles that will go for just under
$1 per sq. ft. or should per square 9 inches :).
