[VAC] Re: Fridge restoration CDOSWELL



Thanks again, Charles, for the offer. I'm getting my '68 Tradewind from a
friend in Houston, TX who also has a later model 31'. I haven't actually
seen the trailer as it's being checked over by an Airstream place in
Houston to be sure it's road worthy for me to tow back to Atlanta. While
it's there I will have any structural problems and running gear repairs
made if any are needed as there is no AS trailer dealer in Georgia any
longer. I'm going to try doing most of the inside repairs myself. My
friend says the fridge isn't working in the Tradewind so I'm trying to get
some leads on what to do to repair or replace it. About 15 years ago I
replaced the fridge in a used '73 International '31 myself.  But back then
a replacement didn't cost $700-800 so I'm looking for options this time. 
To answer your question, I don't know what model fridge is in the trailer. 
I assume it's whatever the factory installed in 1968 but that's a guess as
I haven't seen it for myself. 

I'll know more when I get the trailer home and can start on getting
everything working again so we can begin using it as Mr. Bynum intended.
