Hi, Kevin, your response is very helpful. Of course, I would try the opposite first...
I suppose I could re-fit the adapter to correspond to the standard. The first post in this thread has the diagram of my year's connector, so I just need to be sure I can adapt the business end of the AS wiring to the standard, right? Better yet, I think I will just take the whole thing to an expert to be sure it's safely connected. I have to accept that I cannot do some things by myself, especially electrical work and welding. I do pretty well at repairs, but a retro-fit is scary.
Thanks,

Responding to your second question first, many of us prefer to rewire the Airstream to match the current Industry Standard for the Bargman plug rather than rewiring the tow vehicle. There are two reasons for doing so. The first is that it will simplify towing other trailers that you may want to two along the line as nearly everything today is wired to the industry standard. The second reason is that in an emergency situation, it will be much easier to find someone equipped to tow the coach if it has the Bargman wired to the industry standard rather than to the Airstream unique pattern.
I am not certain where the Univolt is located in the post-1965 coaches, but in the earlier 1964-1965 it was typically in the streetside corner of the one-stop service center.
Good luck with your Bargman connector wiring!
Kevin
