Hi Dana Kelley,

In your note, you mentioned a number of things still needing
repair. If it was me, that water leak (hard job maybe) would 
be my first priority, with adjusting the brakes next (easy job). 
All else would pale in comparison to importance. That's just my
perspective. 

Your comment about having the water leak fixed SOONER OR LATER
was like a red flag for me. By all means, choose sooner. There is 
too much damage that can be caused by a water leak that's not
fixed immediately (been there, done that and was sorry for it). 

You didn't ask for my opinion, so I won't be bent out of shape 
if you tell me to bug off. There is pride in the sound of your 
written words. Being a restorer can do that. If you aren't 
careful, it can become addictive.

One other point. In your note, you said, "Can you buy parts very 
easy for the hot water heaters? If not I guess we could heat 
water for a jay bird bath. Ha!  We learning with ours not being 
campers yet." 

You guys are doing just fine. Jay bird showers are standard 
procedure when using your own water supply. Some of our 
relatives think we're living in the stone age when we tell 
about such things. But, they like sitting at home in front of 
the TV and not being sweaty or getting dirt under their 
fingernails. Being an Airstreamer requires creative flexibility
and spontaneous ingenuity. Jay bird showers is part of that. 

Stay at it. July is only a month away. The good times are about
to roll.
