Because my Airstream 'to-do' list isn't long enough
I remember the few times I met Raveson at the Sarasota, FL Airstream Rally, he always told me to get some kind of flush system, if not for both holding tanks, especially the black water tank.
Found the No Fuss Flush on eBay, seller didn't have the accessory kit, but did find accessory kit on Amazon. Dang computer can get my wallet in a serious pinch some days, lol.
Thanks, Derek

You're going to want one too!
Good friends of mine (a fiber artist made the flag and her husband a blacksmith made the custom flag holder) as a "special order" for me. It's just the thing to say "Welcome" to your Airstream! If you want they can make a custom one for your Airstream motorhome or trailer. Fits into the storage area and is just the thing to accessorize your Classic. Give me a holler if you want one too!

Not a big expense thing but I added Daylight Running Lights. This is the kit for $7.95 including on eBay.
 
This is how they look off and on.
 
They don't show real well in the picture but don't look bad in person. I went out after dark and they show light on the trees 150 feet away.
Not a real difficult job but the wires are veerrrry small. Hard to strip the insulation without breaking the wire.

Damn Dan, what a clean looking 280. Everything is straight and lined up. Does the rest of the coach look this perfect?

Thanks Peter but I have to admit that the camera does hide things. Actually the coach is pretty straight but it does have the scrapes and dings common to a 32 year old coach. The PO backed it into the eves of his house and replaced three rear panels but other than that it is pretty much original.

New Corian dinette with manual air lift pedestal...still a bit of stain needed on the oak inset and finish the floor.
New Koni FSD's on all four corners, and a Bilstiens steering damper...big improvement in the ride!

Very nice!
The floors are fantastic! Where did you get them? How is having the dinette across from the gaucho?

Dan,
Where did you go to attach wiring for the Daytime Running Lights?
Thanks, Derek

Ok,
You just can't leave us not knowing where you bought the manual air lift pedastal. Does it lower the dinette table so that if needed, you can make a bed out of dinette?
As well, did you install new flooring? Maybe a part number for the Koni's?
Thanks, Derek

Man you must be having a rough night or a very early morning, isn't it about 3 am in Florida? To answer your question I just picked a hot wire under the dash that is controlled by the ignition switch, on with ignition on and off when ignition is off. That way I don't have to worry about turning them on or forgetting to turn them off. I wasn't worried about overloading anything because they draw almost nothing. Used a 1/2 amp fuse because it was the lowest amp fuse I had.

Ok, the air lift pedestal is made by Springfield, and is called a three stage pedestal $277 shipped from an internet store called cascade depot, but I have seen them on eBay. Yes, it drops down and turns into a bed- I'll take a photo. The corian table is heavy, so you need to lift up a bit, but rather cool. The Lonseal flooring came from a local boat store who gave me wholesale pricing...stuff aint cheap!. I made a template out of paper, cut it out and installed it. The FSD's came from LTB Autosports on line at $655 for a full set.

That's cool. We frequently refer to our Interstate as The Space Shuttle. And we often say things like, "What would an astronaut do?" Or, "I'm trying to stay as calm as an astronaut" and other things like that, when we get stressed on a trip!
