You can buy an adapter or get the larger size at a dealers show room
I chose to take the end off my campers 3 inch sewer dump pipe and
change it to the newer smaller one.. Now it is easer to buy fittings.

Hey Lexxie,

If you can get the trailer to Sedan, NM I can keep it in my barn til you 
are done sailing.  No charge, but you may have to take me for a boat 
ride some time.

See barn at:

OK, so I'm a little behind on reading my e-mail.  Was out of town for a 
couple of weeks.  (At the house in NM actually, then CBR)

Fair winds and calm seas,

Subject: [VAL] Pictures, trailers and cars

Over the last week, we took a trip from Orange, CA though Kingman, AZ to 
the Grand Canyon and returned thought Las Vegas.  We drove our 1977 
Lincoln Continental and towed our 1979 23' Airstream Safari.  On the 
return trip between Williams, AZ and Kingman, AZ, a mini van passed us 
and then started slowing down for us to pass them.  We noticed that as 
we approached they were taking a video of our car and trailer.  They 
went behind and then repassed, still taking pictures, when they were 
ahead, they stopped filming and continued on their way.

Nothing like an Jade Green Lincoln towing a Silver Airstream to attract 
attention.

We then met up with the El Camino Real Unit (formerly San Bernardino 
Unit) of the WBCCI for the Las Vegas Rally, where we spent two nights, 
with a great bunch of people, before returning to Orange, to be on time 
for the Fabulous Ford Show at Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park tomorrow.

Here's an update on the 4th Annual Rocky Mountain VAC Rally, July 30th - 
August 4th, 2004 at Garden of the Gods Campground in Colorado Springs, CO

To date we have 49 confirmed registrations!  Originally we had reserved 
only 50 spaces...but due to the terrific "Early Registration" response 
we have obtained another 10 campsites.  So don't delay...if you are 
still thinking of attending, send in your registration before these sell 
out too!

For additional information, to see the list of attendees and to obtain a 
registration form, visit the rally website at:
