I cannot help but feel sorry for the way you were treated This is all too 
commonwhen someone has an Item for sale. I wish I had known about this list 
before I bought my(silver albertross)a1965tradewind I had listened to storys 
(from people who did not know and knew not that they did not know) about how 
indestructable an airstream was I paid Over $4000 for this. (it was road 
ready supposatly) I bought it as is (after all what could possably go wrong 
with an airstream?) !st I checked the breaks and wheel beranings had to 
rebuild the breaks. took it on a trip the rear bath fell away.I had to 
replace the bath floor. the cause of this trouble is that the drain onthe tub 
was never fitted properaly at the factory and part of the watwr drained out 
onthe floor out of site from day one,.
Many many hours of my labor and many hundreds of $ later i finaly replaced 
the floor and holding tank both gray water and black water. Other rot 
elsewhere was treated a new parquet floor installed ,new lighting, new 
shocks, and the list goes on and on.I did all the work myself and feel that I 
spent several Thousands of $ Which in my wilested of dreams I canno't recover 
The joy of ownership has long since vanished. I found new leaks in the 
pluming whitch must be repaired. I wonder if it will eaver end.
Selling it is out of the question as I cannot recupe my loss.
The one bright side of this whole deal is the wonderful people I have meet at 
a rally ond on the internet.
Ihope your airstream can be repaired resonably and it brings much joy to you.
GOOD LUCK
