Hello everyone.
I went ahead and jumped in head first. I purchased my first Airstream and it
is going to need a lot of work to get it ready to use.
It is a 1953 25' Cruiser and was already in the process of renovation.
The first question for now (probably many more to come) is about the potable
water tank.
It looks to be original and made of Stainless Steel, Cylindrical in shape
and mounted just behind the tongue and only visible because the front couch
has been removed. the fill hole mounted on the door side just by the tongue
has a valve stem with a valve in it sticking out of the side of the water
fill spot so you can pump the tank up with air to get the water pressure for
moving the water to the faucets. Anyone have any idea what the max safe
pressure is?
Running/Tail lights. Any idea what direction the running/tail light wires
go? Unable to remove the inner or outer aluminum skin to find them and
would like to know if they can be easily replaced without removing any
skins. Do they run Horizontally along the body or do they go down to the
floor and run through there towards the front?
Thanks.
Warren
