[VAC] Re: Replumb 70' Airstream

I am in the process of restoring my '70 Overlander and 
have just finished gutting the interior.

It is really difficult to remove the bathroom without 
working your way from the front to the back, but you 
should be able to get to the shower and tub fixtures by 
removing the fiberglass sink top.  This requires 
drilling out all of the rivets along the back wall and 
along the front of the sink (hidden behind the trim 
strip).  My sink's copper pipes were sweated on without 
disconnects, so I had to unsweat them.  The drain will 
disconnect via the elbow; accessed from the back 
(outside panel).  Once that is done, the top of the sink 
counter should lift off and you will have access to the 
shower/tub piping. As for the tub drain, I haven't 
gotten that far, but it looks like it had a floor drain 
that goes directly into the black water tank.

The sink counter is reinforced with a piece of plywood, 
and I found that mine has water damage and needs to be 
replaced, too.
