[VAC] Re: Globetrotter 21' 1974



Hitch it and try the brakes. Park it and try all the appliances and
plumbing or plan on fixing everything. Check the floor for soft spots.
There is a detectable tendency for vintage Airstream sellers to forget
what has broken since their last happy trip. Tires, brake adjustment,
and wheel bearing cleaning and packing are normal regular maintenance
item, battery too. Those maintenance items should be performed ASAP
unless there's strong proof they have been done recently.

Aluminum skin sometimes has to be replaced to take care of skin dings.
Sometimes its easier to accept them than to fix them.

Value depends a great deal on conditions, especially, plumbing, floor,
tires, and appliances.
