Sounds like you have lots of work to do. All of the things that you mentioned are like my '72. Still have the shelf under the front window but I think only the Crown Imperial would have had the aluminum window awning over the bathroom. My monitor panel in the kitchen still works except for black water holding tank light. The jack pad is for lifting the trailer up if you have to do any spring work. That is the area that you can safely lift the trailer off its wheels. The crank down levelers at each corner will not support the weight. I just removed my original sofa from my Streamline and have it stored in my basement. I bought a newer hide-a-bed that takes up less room and is much lighter. My friends here in Denver have a 28foot 71 Countess that is in excellent condition. It has the light paneling inside so is much brighter. I am waiting for my new A&E awning from Camping World this week. They are the only ones I believe that still make the side arms for the Streamline/Silver Streak. I have the original EZ Awning on my trailer that I have replaced the fabric on but it is very difficult to operate and the roller does not lock in place when I travel. I will be discarding it when I have the new one installed. The Central Vacuum is relatively simple and if you re-install it and have questions, I can check mine and let you know what wire goes where. It is as it was originally. Opening the little black door for the hose activates the suction motor and it vents outside under the trailer. The interior is embossed leather grain looking plastic coated aluminum and goes all the way down to the paneling. This is real easy to maintain. I originally cleaned mine with 409 and a scrub brush and it is perfect. I think my friends twin beds measure out at 33 wide by 80 inches long. These are custom mattresses unless you get some cut foam rubber. Keep us posted!
