Resurrecting a '62 Globetrotter

We recently finished the complete renovation of a 1962 Globetrotter. Luckily, it was in solid shape when we bought it in Oregon-- mostly clean shell, straight frame, intact interior. It took 5 months to make it new again. We redid all the systems and reinvented the design to make it distinctively retro-contemporary. Hope you enjoy!

Door Dead Bolt Adjustment

Posted 04-01-2019 at 06:49 PM by AIRBULLDOGS

I'll give you the solution right away. Compress the rubber seal in front of it. You'll notice a little metal plate. Stick a screw driver between the door and that little plate and push it back out. Done.

The plate is a guide. It got mashed in because we were trying to close the door with the dead bolt engaged.

No need for a service repair call or being all upset at Airstream.

I had a problem with my door dead bolt not being adjusted properly. It wouldn't...
