[VAC] Looking for information-Airstream wannabe
Hi,
I'm 2 days into this list and thought that I would ask for some info.
I have found an Airstream - Sovereign International Land Yacht - that I am
considering buying.
There is a blue stripe all around at the top of the window line and then
the roof is painted white - is this original or has somebody done this to
make it 'look better'?
When did they fit electric brakes - it has a tandem axle and looks to have
brake drums fitted.
Probably made in the late sixties/early seventies - I have the serial
number and will call A/S tomorrow to find the exact year of manufacture.
A couple of the windows are cracked and will need replacing and all of the
rubber seals are shot - any good sources for these? The refrigerator is
missing, but the rest of the stuff is there - don't know if any of it works.
I will probably have to replace the 4 tires as the trailer has not been on
the road since 1996.
I have been on the lookout for an Airstream trailer for a couple of years
and have decided to finally take the plunge, although the above mentioned
Sovereign is going to require quite a bit of work to bring it up to scratch.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Cheers,
Dave Harris
