If the coach is a '71, it is likely classed as a 31' as that was the longest model at that time. The series would be
Sovereign, and it could be a Land Yacht (basic series) or International (premim series).
To get an idea of some areas to check out a Vintage coach, you might want to check out the site below:

You can learn more about the weights and lengths for various model year Airstreams at:

The coach's model name is usually found on a badge that is often located near the entrance door of the coach. The VIN also gives a number of clues regarding the model and configuration of the coach. The VIN is typically in one of two places on the coach - - on a plaque near the entry door - - or on a plaque below the front window near the LP tanks.

Good luck with your inspection and research!
