Where would I obtain the polish for polishiong the aluminum for the older Airstream trailers ? What brand and name ? Also what is the weight of a 1962 19" Globetrotter ? Thanks...Gary...
I have been doing some extensive research on Airstreams for a bit now and have found the vintage ones may be affordable for my wife and I, yet due to the amount of student loans I have.... We are unable to obtain financing.
Thus, I am going to put this out there for some goodhearted Airstream seller who may wish to sell their Airstream between 3K and 5K which is in usable condition that may need minor upgrades/repairs.
We have about $1200 to put down as a deposit/down-payment and would like to pay it off over a period of 6 to 12 months, depending on the final sales price.
The item would be able to sit right where it is and we would make the payments to an escrow company (protecting us) which would dispurse the funds once final amount is collected. We would then pick up the Airstream upon final payment. In between making payments I would request that my wife and I hold the keys so we could make trips to upgrade the unit while making payments...
If this is something one of you would consider, please contact us...
In the meantime, we will continue to save and hopefully we will be able to purchase one by the end of the summer this year or spring of next year (2008/2009)....
I need information about how to remove the tub and the grey tank to repair the flooring also I need to know how the water tank hose that attachs the water tank to the fill tank this is for a 62 tradewind. Also if any one knows where I can get oven parts for a tappen stove?
I have loved the airstream design since I first saw one! I am determined to purchase one now that I am 53 years old, and camp alot! I DESERVE it ! But , I do have a few questions to ask about the older models from you "old timers". Does the air conditioner run off 12 volt , 110 volt, propane, etc? The original refrigerator ran off propane. Didn't it need electricity too? Was it 12 volt or 110 volt? I camp mainly in sites that have 110 hookups. How feasible is it to change everything to 110 volt? I would still want to cook with propane, but would like to change most others to 110 volt. How about the small propane gas heater that is sometimes mounted under the gas range. Does it heat enough , or should I convert to electric (110 volt) for better heating or gas cost saving? How hard is the conversion on any of these items to make? Also , if there is a problem with the running or tow lights , how hard is it to run down the wires? Are they under the "skins " of the "belly" or in the walls?
Airstreams gained about 100 pounds a year in weight. A 1956 Airstream 26 footer weighs about 3000 pounds. By the 1969 model, it had become 27 feet long and now is 4525 pounds. So if you want to tow less weight, buy an older vintage Airstream.
