Re: Entry door and storage compartment gaskets

Thanks, Becky. I show a couple larger choices.... Do you recall which you used? http://www.vintagetrailersupply.com/Wide-D-Seal-p/vts-794.htm http://www.vintagetrailersupply.com/Mid-70-s-Today-Airstream-Main-Door-Seal-p/vts-1099.htm Rostam--as far as cleaning, I'd probably just use a razor blade to ...

Not sure what that thing you're referring to is, but that sure is a nice looking stove!

Entry door and storage compartment gaskets

Can anybody point me in the right direction for purchasing new gasket material for my entry door and storage locker? The storage locker has a small leak, and I can see daylight out the bottom half of my entry door.

Brakes Locking Up

I have a Prodigy P3 brake controller and about three months ago when towing my former 79 Airstream my brakes locked up while driving slowly (less than 10 mph) and pressing the brake pedal. They would free up when the brake pedal was released, but would lock again with the slightest pressure against ...

Propride (3P) hitch

I had a ProPride 3P (http://www.propridehitch.com) on my previous trailer, and while my new 84 with an aftermarket MorRyde suspension tows extremely well, nothing can beat the stability provided by the 3P. It's not cheap, but I just look at it as insurance and big picture it's hard to put a price on...

Re: Side Bath Wanted

KYAvion, I was planning on taking Sendel T03 wheels and 16 inch Michlan LT tires with me ready to put on. The owner really thought the current tires were good to come home. I am following his advice, but will make the switch after I get home and have more time. I am going to install a 795 watt sola...

Re: 34V curb side awning

You're right about those awnings. I salvaged the awning fabric from the three Zipdee awnings on our prior trailer, and removing them was no easy task. Whoever installed them really enjoyed using their crimping tool!

Re: Side Bath Wanted

Hope the SD trailer works out for you. The seller was really helpful when I spoke with him. There's a few dings on the front and rear corner panels and the main awning is missing, but for the price there doesn't appear to be anything significant. I was all set to go get it myself, but this one in Ca...
