  Why should belly skin repairs require sealing? On trailers I have seen
  pop rivets, not solid, are used to fasten the belly skin to the framing,
  and sealing is used only where the wheels throw water and slop onto the
  skin joints.
  When using pop rivets, what does sealer in the rivet holes accomplish?
  Prevent corrosion between the rivet and the sheet metal? YES

Glyn
I bought a new OPD valve, but wanted to let you and others know if you don't
already. There is a difference between OPD valves for steel and aluminum
tanks.
It's been awhile, so my numbers may not be correct, but close.
The steel OPD valve has a dip tube of 4.75 inches and the aluminum tank vavle
has a dip tube of 6.25.
So if you actually installed a OPD for a steel tank into an aluminum tank, you
still risk the chance for overfilling.
There are several web sites that have info on OPD valve's.
It's a good thing I checked before I bought one because the guy's at the parts
dept didn't know there was a difference. Neither did the guy at Ferrell Gas
until I asked and he double checked. I ordered it from them, $17.28
installed.

    Bobby,

    Thanks for the description of the difference between valves.  It all
makes sense when someone who knows, tells you.

    Thank you,

    Hello all
We just returned home from a trip to Pensacola and Destin.
We stayed at Blue Angel park. It was ok, water/electric only $10.00, no sewer
hookup.
Then went to Oak Grove RV Park, which is on Pensacola NAS. Full hookups
including cable $17.00 each site has a 40X20 concrete pad, which makes
leveling a breeze.
It's also walking distance to the beach, which is actually on Pidido bay, but
very nice.
The air museum is awesome, free admission.
Then went to Destin to Camp on the Gulf. Nice park but pricey. Awesome beach
with waves so the kids could boogey board. This was our second trip to this
campground, the office staff wasn't as nice as the ones last year, but we
still had a good time.
    We road thru Topsail Hill again. You know it's a good campground when you
see three Airstreams in one. I marked my calendar to call next month to make
reservations there for next Memorial day weekend.

Take care

Hi, first time writer....



My Great grandparents traveled the American Continent in an Airstream....    
They sold their old big one and bought a smaller one too keep stuff in, like a 
shed....   This 'new' (20 years) smaller one is pretty jacked up, all the 
stuff on top (I don't know what it is.. A/C, I guess) the whole chassis, and even 
the formica inside is in disrepair...  Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
as to where I should even begin to think about starting?  Thank you very much.

Subject: [VAL] Moving a trailer by hand

After reading the discussion regarding moving a trailer without having a
tow vehicle hitched to it, I am concerned that someone might get the idea
that it can be safe to move one on other than level ground.
I would not trust wheel chocks/blocks to stop a trailer that is already
moving downhill. Dr. J pointed this out.
I have pulled a trailer, even an 8,000+ lbs one, away without removing
the blocks. They hardly slow the trailer down. With two axle trailers
each wheel will roll over a block with half as much effort as a single
axle trailer of the same weight, within the limits of the equalizers
(twin rubber torsion axles have no equalization).
Once I pulled a trailer away without removing the wheel locks. They gave
no perceptible resistance. The locks were broken and spit out from
between the tires.
Depending on pulling the breakaway cable or using an improvised switch or
rheostat to control the trailer brakes sounds like a good way to wreck a
trailer or get oneself injured or killed.

Using a caster wheel on the bottom of the tongue jack ram on a heavy
trailer is practical only on a smooth hard surface. The tongue jack is
not intended to withstand large lateral forces. The ram, column or
mounting plate can be bent surprisingly easily by lateral force, such as
holding a trailer on a hill by the jack or towing the trailer without
sufficiently retracting the jack ram. If the trailer is gotten rolling
and then the little wheel catches in a rough or soft spot in the surface
the jack may be bent.

Heavy trailers should never be left sitting unhitched without having the
wheels blocked/chocked even on what you are sure is dead level ground.
High winds can shove a trailer, even dragging the tongue jack ram along
the ground.

Hey all,
     That was the reason I asked if they were for steel or aluminum tanks. I
ordered mine (correctly) but the parts supplier sent the wrong ones. If it
hadn't been for the gas company manager's knowledge the wrong ones would
have been installed.

As a general rule, restorations start from the ground up - make sure your
running gear is in good order, then skin leaks, floor and finally interior.

Shortly I will be headed out west to Kansas for some Airstream parts.  Tonight
I was informed of a vintage 1977 27' Airstream that is for sale in the area SW
of Kansas City, Kansas.  I don't have the seller's phone number or address or
even his name at this point in time -- but I will probably be going to see
that specific 27' Airstream on our visit out that way.

If there are people on this list that would like me to pass along their names
and contact information to this seller when I meet him I would be happy to
help you out.  Just send me a *private E-note off the list* and I will carry
your information to this seller.

I am not positive of the sale price yet so I don't want to say what I think
the price "should be" -- I would leave that between this seller and any
possible buyers to work out.

So, if you are interested please send me your name and at least your phone
number so I can have this seller get in touch with you -- the disclaimer here
is that it most likely will still be for sale when I am out that way as I have
been told that the seller didn't seem to be in a big hurry to sell.

For our use we bought the Pure or PUR water filter setup from Wal*Mart.
Ours is a rectangular 1 gallon sized water filter container.

Everpure water filters work as good as well as I know.

They work well as long as they are the best filters -- not just for taste.
Cryptosporidium (sp?) and cysts are some of the stuff you want to remove
from any drinking water, that and some other nasties that will give you GI
sickness.

Not long ago we bought a water filter that sits on the counter and uses the
filters that stop all those nasties that would make you sick.  We use that
filtered water for our coffee and iced tea and as drinking water -- there
really is a difference.

One of the main reasons we bought that portable counter-top water filter
setup is because it is a whole lot less expensive that buying distilled
water by the gallon after first trying to find a store while on the road.
With this portable filter setup we can use water from almost any potable
water source and know that what we are drinking and also giving to our pets
is clean, sanitary water.

If you've ever had sick animals on the road due to those nasties in
so-called potable water you'd make sure your drinking water got filtered
also.  The filter cost for lots of gallons of clean water compared to buying
distilled water at prices up to $1.59 or more per gallon was a no-brainer.

Everpure filters are good, but can be a pain in the neck to change the
element if they're in a tight spot.  Replacement elements can usually be
ordered from a full-service RV store or dealer, but they are expensive.

I'm changing mine out to a more common type, with less expensive elements.

Also I would like to find out suppliers for restoration materials, new or

Subject: Re: [VAL] EverPure water filter

Distilled water can have fewer solids and fewer high boiling point
liquid impurities, but it can have an increased concentration of
nitrates and low boiling point impurities. There is no universally
perfect water purification system. Activated charcoal gathers chlorine
and some organic impurities that distillation misses. Reverse osmosis
gets out different impurities. Fine pored filter elements capture sand
and smaller live organisms sometimes, but pass all kinds of dissolved
impurities.

Impurities that boil at a higher temperature than water may not pass
over the distiller, but those that boil at lower temperatures than water
can be increased in concentration in the distiller product. The lower
boiling point impurities can be removed from the water (but put into the
trailer or room air) by boiling the water and letting them evaporate
before capturing the steam for distillation. Question there is whether
those low temperature boiling point impurities are more hazardous in the
water or the air.
