Setback
Had a minor setback over the weekend. I tried using my brother in law's sandblaster which is a small generic one that could not keep a steady flow of sand. So after messing with it for a couple hours, I finally gave in and decided to schedule a day to rent a commercial one from the local rental place.
Tonight I thought I would try and mess with posting pictures. I hope this works. The first picture just shows the exposed frame. The second picture is a visual on a question I have. When I went to remove the black/grey water tanks (we have a rear bath), I noticed that the galvanized hold "trays" that the tanks sit in were attached to a steel frame that had hinges welded to the forward egde of the assembly and then welded to the frame of the Airstream. The rear egde of the tank framework had a piece of angle iron with a hole drilled in it which attached to another angle iron piece that hung down from the RV frame. Essentially it looked as if the tank frame could swing down to give access to the tanks. In the photo you can see half of the hinge that is still attached to the tank frame. Is this common on Airstreams or is this a thing that a PO migt have done?
