Subject: Re: 1959 Airstream Yes, I do own a '59 Trade Wind. Unfortunately, I am not in possession of it just yet. I do know that mine is missing the refrigerator, so I can't help you there. The Trade Wind does not have any switches for the water heater and as I recall has an outside access door. Your concerns must be specific to the Overlander. Sorry I'm not able to enlighten you on these matters. You may try querrying the VAC list. Good luck.

Though I have owned several Airstreams, this is the oldest and many things are different. Of course, there is no manual with these older models. The fridge doesn't have a button to push to light the burner, leaves me at a loss as to how to light it; also, is there a safety built in some way? The water heater has an electric wire going to it and a gas line. However, there is not a door on the outside to open to the controls for lighting and thermostat adjustment. There is a switch above the sink that is labeled "water heater". Some of the lettering is missing. But, I think I figured it out. It has two toggle switches. One says "city" on one side and "battery" on the other. The bottom switch says "invertor", on and off. I think this is the correct lettering. I would appreciate it a million if you could enlighten me on these appliances. |
