[VAC] Re: Interior Renovation

["Mr. Joy H. Hansen" <joytbrew@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the construction of any Airstream is consistent with my '69 Safari, mice
can roam anywhere in the monocoque.  The arch at the bottom of each rib
allows this.  Also, there are separations of the inverted "U" channel where
the front and rear end caps are joined that allow access from the outside of
the trailer into the monocoque.  Worst, is the situation where the holding
tank housing is compromised and/or the rear floor is rotted out.  Everything
can get anywhere in the unit.  Screens missing can allow mice entry inside
the trailer.  Don't sell RATs short!  They can chew through anything -
metal, concrete, etc.

Don't know the distribution of the Hantavirus across the U.S., but certainly
it's a  high risk in the Southwest.

Tsk, tsk, sometimes, you gotta bite the bullet and wear a mask.  Pull the
lower aluminum panels and check out what's going on.  Maybe yes, maybe no .
