hi shari, it looks very similar to yours,in fact so similar that since i got the computer two weeks ago and dont know all the features on it yet,i have been using your 64 picture for my screensaver (somehow i managed to drag it into my pictures file ) I tried the other day to get into my dell pictures studio,movie maker and roxio too,to find out abot the upload from digital camcorder,to my airstream photos picture library.ive tried a few things but not managed to upload. i would like to do a site like the one of yours that was done so well.i did manage to load a few still pics to my movie studio but im not sure how to get them into the airstream photos site.could you walk me thru it when you have time.maybe ill make it to the colorado rally and see yours. are you going?
Sure Wayne...I'll help when I have some time...I just got back into town so it's pretty hectic today, maybe I'll be able to carve out some time tonight. I'll PM you some picture "tips".
As far as the CO VAC Rally, I'm actually the "Wagon Mistress" so yes, I'm attending... It was a blast last year, we had several '63 & '64 GlobeTrotters in attendence...would love to have you join us with your '62! It's a great way to compare similar units side-by-side and swap notes...
And of course, we're also going to the AirstreamForum.com rally in NM too! Lokks like this'll be a good one too, albeit smaller and more diverse!
Chat more later!
Shari

sounds good sheri,let me know when both the rallys are.the colorado vac and is it new mexico? i love it there, ive ridden out there on my harleys and goldwing four times since 99,styed in farmington,taos,durango,cortez and ignacio and albequerque.youll have to give me the whereabouts in n.m. is it near the four corners area? ill want to go to this one too. take it easy then and thanks wayne
wow,ill have to decide which one would be better for vintage ,which will be the larger event,whats closer( not that it really matters from here) i dont think the distance to nm will be too much farther,can you tell me how to get on mapster or mapquest when you e mail me?and dont hurry i am out on disability recovering from a hernia surgery with time to spare.it looks like our local santa clara unit of the w.b.c.c.i has events planned at the same times as the co&nm forums&vac; so ill have to weigh it out at this end also, and get rite back to you on it.(june 20th to22nd here will be an airstream meet at laguna seca raceway) and august 8-10 here will be the airstream meet at neils vineyard in vacaville ca;but im sure to get to go to one of yours.let me know how&where to send reservations for both(.i just missed out on the napa ca. meet here may 8-11th by not reg in time) my other e mail add waywund at a.o.l .com will be closing down,and the present wonderful62@earthlink.net is being re configured to'' incredemail '' today but should stay the same.talk to you again,thanks then wayne/.
Hi- I have recently acquired a 62 Globetrotter down in SW Georgia & towed it up to New England last month-also, I've just registered with this forum. The one we got has some unoriginal carpeting and cabinetry and needs polishing; otherwise, it tows nicely- haven't gotten around to trying out appliances/plumbing etc.Hoping to get it 1/2way presentable this month and drag it up to Burlington to shop for goodies, compare rigs, etc. at the WBCCI International. Also hoping to post some photos as I progress with this 'project'; oh yeah, plan to attend Dead/Willie Nelson shows and Allman Bros. campouts in early summer- see y'all there!(hahaha) CB Rollins South Amherst Massachusetts
whats up cror boy,finally i hear from another 62 globetrotter,well lucky for you, if you need any manuals on the trailer(they didnt have owners manuals fof our year)they were all seperate and i have them all.i see your in the new england/mass area. i was born there in conn.and lived in ansonia/derby to69 then came to sunny calif.about the unoriginal carpeting,you should have asbestos tile underneath.mine cleaned up well.the cabinetry in mine as all original and in remarkable condition.original upholstery (mexican serenade).do you have the beige 3 burner oven? the yellow-beige norcold fridge,carlton gas wall heater and bowen gas water heater? I would have all your manuals for everything on the complete trailer.now you know.think ill go eat a peach,and you just mite see me at the burlington vermont rally. keep in touch ,id like to hear more about your 62 globetrotter as i have never seen another one,there seems to be a lot more older and newer and that year gets left out.id like to see some pics,and dont hesitate to e mail me if you need something wayne wunder 1962 19ft globetrotter. is your toilet and holding tank original?i would have all the blow apart diagrams repair part nos etc all appliance manuals etc.my 98 yr old neighbor was the original owner and left all the sales invoices?original papers intact when she passed away 10 yrs ago.
Oooh boy- I'm getting into the compounding- do an hour or two a day; seems like I've done a first pass of about a third of it in four days. Hoping to get it to where I can start actually polishing by end of the week but it kinda depends on the weather. Still trying to figure out if kitchen stuff was on the door side originally- could your order it either way? Tried out lights and a/c but haven't tried the fridge or the range yet - leaving the plumbing for last!
remind me to tell you what i learned about the fridge before you try to operate it make sure it is level it must have the liquid ammonia surrounding the heating element. is it the original gas elec norcold. yes you could order it with kitchen on either side . gotta go hit me back wayne. try nuvite polish
is the a/c unit the original armstrong unit or an after the fact added unit? which vent is it in? does yours have the skylite? wayne wunder in san jose calif. (62 globetrotter)
A/C is a new unit and the fridge is a replacement;the air is a roof pod deal in the rear roof vent. Yes I've been using NuVite but it smells better than it tastes...
Hi you guys, enjoyed your chat!
Say, just bought one here in Minneapolis. Not sure we have the right tow vehicle for our Globetrotter? Do you know how much yours weigh? And, Wayne, how do I get an owners manual?
Looking forward to more chatting!
Many thanks in advance for your help!!!
