Subject: [SilverStreak] A Silver Streak plumbing question

Hello all, 
 
As a means of reintroduction, i bought a 1958 Silver Streeak Clipper  earlier 
this year.  It had been painted white on the outside, which is now  removed 
and it is partially polished - turning out ok i think.  I've  rechromed the 
outside light rings and have the entire 12v lighting system  outside working.  
Several inside 12v lights still need my  attention...  The 110v system junction 
box is replaced with a new breaker  box and i've snaked a dedicated line to 
the front top vent for an air  conditioner.  The middle vent is original and the 
back vent was replaced  with a new metal cover and fan unit.  all inside 110v 
outlets are working  to include the kitchen fan, etc.  I had to entirely 
strip the front inside  paint due to age, etc. but will try and salvage the back 
pink bath area.   The rear axle has been replaced with one with electric brakes 
for safety.   I will completely rebuild the inside front benches and table, 
the kitchen  cabinet area for new stove and new sink.  Also i'm redesigning the 
two side  seats so that they will fold out into a double bed with walking 
room.  I'm  adding a new hot water heater along with a h2o pressure pump, a new 
40 gallon  holding tank under a middle seat, and all new h2o lines.  also  
replacing the floor with new tile as i go. O' i also redid the gas heater valve  
system with one the has a therostat and will add a gas/110v volt  refrigerator.
 
Now to my current problem:  the cast iron sewage system is broke in  several 
placed so the best answer is to replace the whole system with new  plastic.  
easier in the long run, i think.  Does anyone have any  experience with 
removing the old cast iron pipes from an old metal  trailer.  any "lessons learned" 
would sure be of help..
 
Also i live near San Diego and would be interested in connecting with other  
old metal trailer owners in the area.
 
best regards always, jim -)
