[VAL] vintage repair work

["Patricia V. Raimondo" <praimond@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott,

I took "Pearl" to Jackson Center because they had done extensive work 
for me on my 67 Safari. It too had separation issues and a long list of 
other repairs. They did a great job and when I went to pick it up, on 
the spot they did even more work that I realized I should have had 
done. Everything they did looked professional or original. Many of the 
guys in the service dept. have worked there for over 30 years! I also 
figured that they have access to many new Airstream parts that could be 
used to bring the systems up to date. For example, I poured over the 
pictures of the new trailers on Airstreams web site and have asked Rick 
if they could install the new aluminum spot lights that are on the 
28ft, CCD over the bed on my 54 FC. Same idea with the shower heads on 
todays trailers with the on/off button. I'm also going to ask him if 
the mattress used on the Safari Bambi would fit my FC. The dimensions 
seem to be the same. Try to find curved mattresses anywhere else!

My problem is that I am very limited as to what work I can do myself, I 
have no garage to keep tools and equipment in and my mechanical skills 
are basic. There is also NO RV place on Long Island with any Airstream 
experience. I plan on solving this by moving to Colorado in 2 years!
