Smile Questions-31' 1981 Excella

Well, we just bought our 31 foot 1981 Excella Limited Airstream, and camped in it for the first time this past weekend. What fun!! After going over everything with the guy we bought it from in 2 hours we were left with spinning heads and alot of QUESTIONS!
#1- It looks low in the back. What is the clearance from level ground to the bottom of the camper? I looked up trailer droop and I don't see any bulges over the wheel wells. It has a rear bath.
#2- We live on top of a steep hill, our driveway goes straight up. We are wondering how to get it up the hill without dragging. We have it on the street now but can't leave it there too long. We could drive it up the grass at an angle but I don't think it would be safe to drive it over the well or septic tank any ideas on a ramp to help it hop a curb? Help!
#3- The baby hated the freezing cold bath. How do you fill the water tank in order to heat the hot water. We have a manual for an 1980 (not the 81) but the water heater is totally different. Maybe someone could explain the whole process from start to finish. (Im not sure what kind of water heater it is).
#4- The propane tanks are not up to standard how do you fix that?
#5- After we bought it we noticed it had a leak under the sink. All the joints are glued. Is there a exceptable replacment for the black pipe.
Is there an easier way to get in there that you know of??
That's all I can think of now. We sure do like it alot. I keep looking out the window and freaking out because it's so big and beautiful.
Thanks alot- Sharon Lee
