Re: [VAL] Airstream Quest Continued . . .



Yep, it's is a nasty rear bath model, but I'm in a quandary as to if it is a
'73.  The floor is one in the rear and I seed the black water  holding tank.
However I also see a line joining the black line that may be a gray water
tank under the tub.  Couldn't see enough to be sure as I was a bit
disappointed that I place a bid and there are things that weren't mentioned
in the auction.  The damage on the curb rear seems to be fresh. :(  The
gaucho in the front is missing and that's another negative.  The battery was
toast and I couldn't check the appliances and there wasn't an electric line
available to verify.

Being much disappointed, I'm locked into a unit that's in pretty bad
condition that I'll need to put a lot of work into to ever get it on the
road.

Certainly, the holding tanks don't look like the '76.  Most likely, I'm
stuck with this unit as I'll honor my bid, but it's taught me a serious
lesson about the description a seller posts and the pictures.  I thought I
was a little wise, but now, I think I"I'm a bird in the bush!

Didn't get any answers about the frame, but from what I can see, the frame
is 5 inches.

Thanks  for you response and possibly you can give me more information.
