Hi Amanda,

Where on the east coast is he picking it up? I live on Long Island.
I have a 54 Flying Cloud, and although it had a full bath it was never 
plumbed to be used with hoses at a campground! The previous owner had 
rigged up a metal pipe with an elbow that screwed onto the waste pipe 
(that just stuck out the bottom, straight) so that one could push the 
hose (without a connector) onto the pipe and secure it with a clamp. 
The grey drained into the same outlet.

The electrical cord was different also. It used a marine style 
connector and was separate from the trailer.

The most important thing he should take is a tool box with everything 
he can fit!!!! With a 50's trailer you have to be prepared for 
anything! Mine was supposed to have all working systems also and I 
found that almost every water pipe leaked. Duck tape, plumber's tape, 
electrical tape, etc. all needed. It will be an adventure! I drove to 
Colorado three weeks after I bought the FC and every day and night 
something different came up! I loved it!
