Jeff, believe it or not the window glass in a '62
Globetrotter is ordinary glass. You can go to your local glass shop, or perhaps
a hardware store and will cost you just a few bucks. Some people are afraid of
the glass, but my experience tells me otherwise. In 40 years of usage, my
trailer has broken only 1 window. Yes it was a bit of mess to clean up, but
nothing a good vaccume cleaner could not handle. If the window frame no longer
has the retainer stripping to hold the glass in you will need to purchase some.
I am told that it is available through Hehr Corp., the maker of the
windows. I do not know what the part number is but I am sure someone else
on the list knows.
Water heaters generally run off of either propane
or propane and electric (120V). I do not know of any water heater that uses
12V. Prices at Camping World range from $200 to $400, plus installation.
I get the impression that you want to dry camp (no
hookups). If the water heater is original, then you may have a "base" version of
the Globetrotter. You may wish to check and
be sure that the trailer has a black water tank as I do not know when they
became standard equipment. They were not just a couple of years
earlier. Unless a wash (grey) water tank has been added over the years it will
not have one.
As for price---that's a tough one. Depending on the
area of the country and the condition of the trailer I would say anywhere from 2
to 7 thousand. You may want to check the classified adds at www.airstream.net to give you more ideas on
a fair price.
