Gary ,
I bought a "Carlisle Hydrastar" last year for a flatbed car trailer. The
trailer originally had surge brakes but the master cylinder in the tongue
was buggered up. I did a search on the web for a rebuild kit and I found
www.theexpediter.com . These people are trailer part suppliers located in
Florida. They had the rebuild kit I was looking for but they were also
offering the Hydrastar. I bought one and it has worked out very well. It has
a self-contained battery for run away protection. It is all enclosed in a
plastic weather tight box. It also operates with a standard electric brake
controller. I paid around $400+-. I just checked their website and it is
priced at $352.50 and is part #39411.  I'm planning on using one in my 57
Sovereign of the Road restoration. The nice thing about it is that you
retain hydraulic brakes and you can install it anywhere inside the trailer.
Good luck with it,

Greetings Terry!

I hadn't really found anything to control them short of the annual
Winter freezing cycle.  Today, however, I discovered all spiders as well
as a couple of other creepy crawlies feet up - - I guess they couldn't
take the fumes from the bathroom resurfacing project - - the trailer had
been closed up with all of the solvent fumes for about 72 hours.  I
haven't gotten too panicked as none of the spiders have been of the
brown recluse or black widow varieties - - the brown recluse send me
into a tailspin as I had a severe allergic reaction to one of their
bites about ten years ago and have immediately called an exterminator
anytime one appears - - thankfully so far none in the Airstream.

Hi Kevin,

Subject: (Cold)  Water heater - Serious Question

Hello Everyone,

I have a 1963 Overlander with its original Bowen water heater.  The heater
is leaking water from the bottom onto the floor. I check every external
water connection and found none leaking.  I have to unfortunately assume
this water heater is toast!

For those of you who have replaced one of these, which modern heater fits
best (or is easiest to install) -- A 6 gal. Suburban? or a 6 gal. Atwood? Or
other water heater?

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Can you point me to exactly a connector that would mount on the wall and
have a mate on the end of a 12v gizmo? I am hoping for something
reasonably attractive looking that is as easy to use a standard 110

I used a Suburban in my Bambi. The hot air exhaust is on the same side
as the Bowen. I used the original shroud from the Bowen. Others have
used the Atwood and changed sides with the exhaust on the shroud. Wish I
had put in the LP/Electric. There was very little difference in price at
Campers Choice.

Hi Herb,

So you didn't have to buy the optional outside cover?

I didn't think you could use the original coverings.  That sounds great!

We have removed the old Carlson 6000 BTU furnace from our 61 Bambi and 
are looking for a new unit to replace it with.  Since we are reworking 
the cabinets, we could use just about any size and shape.  Has anyone 
replaced one in a Bambi?  I have read there are drawbacks to a unit 
with higher BTUs but so far 12,000 BTU is the smallest I have found.

Subject: Brake Confusion.

I had a productive weekend, but sitting here at my desk, I'm having some
doubts ...

I replaced the shock, brake magnets, and finally repacked bearings on my '62
Safari.  I replaced the magnets (yes, both pairs) with "in kind" round
magnets.  However, on inspection of the brake pads, I decided they were
"marginal" and would replace them since everything was going so smoothly.
As I review catalogs and Airstream sites, I can't quite figure out what type
of brakes I have, and if I identified the wrong type of brakes.

They are definitely 12" x 2", with pads stamped into place with a "K" on the
brass connectors, and have a dual retractor spring.  They are on a six-lug
drum.  By all the context clues I assumed they were Kelsey-Hayes, but I
cannot find a single parts diagram to match --- all the Hayes diagrams have
a single retractor.  The Dexter 12" x 2" looks most similar, which means I
may have installed the wrong magnets.  As I mentioned once in passing, I was
surprised at the wear on the previous round magnets (rubbed to coil,
although armature plate looks decent).

Questions: 
1.)  Is there a definitive way to tell brake manufacturer?
2.)  Would the round magnets seemingly "fit" (albeit loosely) if I
identified the wrong brake type?  In other words, would it be physically
possible to install the wrong magnets?

Damn, these old trailers can be tricky.  Thanks in advance for any and all
help.  This list rocks.

Subject: Re: Updating to External Utility Connections

Thanks, Kevin, for the info.  I have found a source for an Electric Utility
Door, but I don't think it includes the smallish box I see in the current
SOB Power Utility Compartments.  That could prevent some of the tangling
you're tangoing with.  I have not asked the salesperson to unreel one of
those power cords, but they look shorter than that on my '68 Caravel.
    I'm wondering whether I could go male to male at the end of the present
Power Cord, that to the back of an External Power Outlet unit mounted on the
new Utility door.  We rarely use A/C, so could a 30amp? Power Cord be
plugged in externally to this set-up for only Heat, Fan.  Then if/when I
need A/C, I could open the utility door, unplug the end of the oeq Power
Cord, and connect it up?

Hi Kathy,

I am replacing the water tank and pump in our Bambi. The instructions with the new Shurflo pump say you must use flexible plastic tubing within one foot of the pump on both sides.  They say NOT to use stiff plastic in that area which I take to mean PEX.  
Good luck on your plumbing project.

PEX tubing and fittings. The only way to go. You can buy what you need at
most RV supply stores and I even have heard that Home Depot carries it.
www.airstreamdreams.com has the fittings as well. PEX is easy to work with.

through the floor into the belly access door with a backflow preventer in
the coach to keep the city water pressure off the tank.  The pump will mount

upstream of the backflow preventer. This is a very short distance in our
small trailers.  I will continue with copper for everything downstream of
the backflow preventer.  I could use PEX downstream but I like working with
copper, have the tools and the sweated fittings are reasonably priced.  In

About $350-$400 per truck bed...it won't come cheap for 30' of roof.

I've heard you can get Rhino Linings to spray their 
polyurethane truck bed liner on your RV roof.  
Strong, flexible and completely waterproof.  Great 
stuff, but I'd have the same concern about weight.
