Re: [VAL] '65 trade wind questions

[JSmith1805@xxxxxxx]

I own a 1965 trade wind the main thing you should check very  carefully is 
the bath floor for rot Also the condition of the holding tank.When  I got mine I 
didn't check closely enough.The toilet fell through the floor  on our 1 st. 
trip The holding tank was collapsed. And had to be replaced .  I ended out 
replacing the floor from the last bulkhead back and fabricating a 35  gal duplex 
holding tank so i now have both black and gray tank.
Check the axles as ones that age may be shot. I am now  replacing these with 
new Dexter.
I am also sure that the shocks are now worn out.and need to be  replaced if 
you are near Tampa I can give you the ones that I had on the old  axles they 
have less than 30 k miles and are in good shape. or I can give you  the numbers 
from them so you can get replacements from NAPPA at a fraction of  the cost of 
Airstream replacements(probaly the same shocks with Airstream's  private 
numbers. Another wey to rip off the public.
