[VAC] Re: Veneers and panelling and thoughts on '70's A/S design



details man!!  I fully agree with everything you said and I really HATE my
trailer's interior especially the cramped fit of the toilet!! Thank goodness the
original owner was a wealthy IBM exec and lived within easy distance of the
Cupertino factory.  thus, we have the braced rails for the rear bath.
Now, please -- 
Tell us how you stripped off the vinyl, removed the glue especially from the
partitions and from the highly porous luan, etc.  If I were doing the job
myself, I would have thrown out all of the existing wood and bought 1/4 and 2/4
birch and replaced everything I could have. Saved a lot of time and just used
the originals as patterns. What was done with the tambors?  the vinyl trim
pieces? 

we could stand a couple of weeks of daily messages if you would be willing to
provide it.   AND THEN - tell us how you re-engineered the interior...

 in re the oven, one came with our '67 Overlander of course, in which we lived
full time for three years and we certainly used it to cook turkeys for holidays,
etc.  My German/Tarheel wife is one heck of a cook and we have certainly had
100# LPG cylinders hooked up to our trailer more than once.
thanks again..
enuff
