66, 67,68 Overlanders have a very weak rear end. Airstream used a below floor black tank on many of the models, and eliminated the rearmost crossmember completely to have room for the dump valve assembly inside the bumper compartment. There is a very shallow steel profile running under the rear access hatch, under the floor, which is pretty much all there is to support the rearmost section of the shell and floor. This is a flexible affair at best, meaning that water entry and severe floor rot in that area is not uncommon.
They are very nice trailers, but be prepared to make repairs on any of the 66-67-68 trailers with a below floor black tank.
Also, on these models, the skin wraps down the sides to meet the belly pan. Look forward and aft of the wheel wells for separation. This is naother area of concern, besides the normal poking around for soft spots.
Save me some bbq, pls.....
