There are nine 1960's Globe Trotters registered to date for our 2006 Rocky Mt. Rally, enough to form a village, name it "Globeville", and have its caring villagers raise my Wee Wind until it finishes childhood. We also have a variety of Travelers, Bambis, Bambi IIs and Caravels coming too, perhaps enough to incorporate a town called Shorton or Stubby Heights. Maybe we should shoot for the "Shortest Trailer Rally of the Year" award!
We pray you guys can find the time to attend, check out your trailers' siblings, and get many new and old ideas to implement. Wayne, I'll have my laptop and flatbed scanner there for scanning documents, but hope you can find the right drivers to get your scanner operational in the meantime. As The Little Printz says, "God Bless every trailer, but especially the length-impaired."

your valve is indeed brass ,what you need is the sewer elbow which is cast aluminum ,do you have the termination cap also aluminum?These parts are almost made of unobtainium meaning tuff to find .I have a termination cap if you need one.
Well ,there will be at least one 60 tradewind going ,and it's ours .Im really looking forward to it.I don't have to much to do to our rig but get a final traveling polish on her when we get closer to august .I like to do a preflight spruce up before departure when im going on a run.

Hi Scottanlily,
Thanks for the info but I gave up and went for a completely new way of handeling the sewer connection, I found out throught trial and trial and trial that a Valterra elbow just fit up inside the brass fitting. Using plastic cement and a strap i got it down to a 3" codes drain pipe which I ran to the left side corner of the bumper and put a new gate valve there at the corner. I cut off and sealed the gray water 1 1/4" pipes to the brass fitting and teed them together and into their own 3" drain which I ran paralles to same corner with its own gate valve, This effectively gives me a gray water tank that is 3" in diameter and 5' long. If this works well I may incease its holding capacity by adding another 3" pipe parallel to it the width of the trailer. I be glad to show it off at the VAC Rally. See you there.
