Hi all,

Having perused the owner's manual today for my dad's 67 Airstream, I was  horrified to see that the flooring was of a vinyl/asbestos material.  Can anyone tell me about special precautions one must take when redoing  the floors, was asbestos use common in vintage airstreams (or just the  '67s?)? The content of the flooring also begs the question - where else might asbestos have been used within the unit (eg. insulation, wiring), and is this a concern?

Thanks!
