Very pleased to welcome you here to Airforums.com, and congratulations on your new trailer! 
I'm willing to bet that you already have photos of it, so cough up the images and post them here!

That is all I have is pictures so far.
It needs a lot of work, starting with a good scrubbing outside and cleaning up inside.
Here are some pics of the outside.
Some bleach should take care of that.

She looks great! We love our 72 Sovereign, even though we haven't actually camped her yet. I see a window a/c unit stuck in one of the windows. Must mean the roof a/c no longer works. Hopefully the PO or you have the original window.
Welcome!

Very Nice. It does look like you have a bunch to do, and if I were you I would get a Rockguard (685250)for that front window. Those wing windows are hard to replace, hard to get to fit right, pricy, and any new replacements will be single pane. Yours may be double pane. That is a to-do before you spend much time on the road.

I like the aftermarket air conditioner. This must have been a park model. Does it still have the tanks?

No the AC still works but it was in Southern Fla, Couldn't keep up.
Heat strip too he said. Maybe that is int the Wiondow unit.
I am an Airstream Newbie. (AS?)
The original window will be put back in by the previous Owner and the Window unit AC put inside the trailer during shipping.
Oh PO = Previous Owner! Haha! 
I am a little worried about the after market couch. a hide-a-bed. Should I have it moved towards the middle to avoid "Momentary shock something or other" that may cause separation. I was reading about that. Scary!

Now is that the shroud that wraps around sorta behind the propane tanks?
I want one of those on it maybe.
