My uncle, near Kearney, Nebraska is have some electrical problems with his '78' Soveren. I have been attempting to talk him through repair over the phone and we have been able to eliminate some issues. Uncle wanted to know if there is a repair facility near Kearney that could be recommended and he will take the trailer there for repair. Or if there is a member closer to him that may be able to assist. Either way it would be very helpful as he would really like to be able to use the Airstream. He no longer has internet connectivity so I am asking for him. Most likely there is something simple that has been over looked.

What do you need repaired? Electric is not unique to an Airstream. Anyone who understands 12 systems should be able to work in your trailer.
Thank you for the reply. Apparently there is a short someplace and Uncle has not been able to trace it. I understand that Anyone that understands 12v systems should be able to work on it. We would like to have a recommendation to someone good in or near Kearney. I spoke to Uncle last night and he said he is willing to tow the unit about anywhere in Nebraska as long as he could be assured of getting good work.

I live on the Nebraska / Wyoming border. 300 miles from Kearney. If he can wait until October and bring the coach here I would be happy to help if I can. There won't be any charge.
In the mean time if you could tell us what the symptoms are perhaps we can walk him through some troubleshooting steps.
Is it on the 12 volt side or the 120 volt side?
Thanks for the kind offer. I will let Uncle know and am confident he will be more than happy to wait until October and bring the trailer to you for assistance. I will reply by private message as we get closer to October time frame.
