1973 Sovereign Freshen Up

[allvintage]

Good Morning,

I just purchased a complete original 1973 Sovereign Land Yacht.
She has been sitting for 14 years. The interior is nasty dirty but complete.
I would like to start the general inspection of electrical and plumbing would like to know the do"s and the do nots from the experienced.

Thank You in advance for your guidance

Service manuals are still available for the 1973 Airstream. I did a Google search and found a number of listing, such as this one.

1973 Airstream Factory Service Manual

The service manuals for the 70's model trailers provide detailed information and schismatics of the all systems. When I bough my 1976 31' Sovereign it had been sitting up for over 10 years like yours was. I found the service manual stuffed in a garbage bag with other trash and I am really glad that no one got around to throwing it out before I bought it. It has been a real help in my continuing refurbishment over the past 12 years.


Good luck with your project. Post some pictures, we love to see pictures.
