well, i've done it again. just sealed the deal on our 3rd trailer. a '62 GLobe Trotter. the interior is an absolute mess, i might be able to save the locker over the kitchen, the kitchen cabinet, and the rear closet. the GOOD news is the bathroom is all intact. i'm assuming nothing works.
anyway, since i'll be rebuildint everything anyway, does anyone else have a 61-2 Globe Trotter with a side dinette that could post detailed pics? i've looked in teh vintage airstream archives, and the pics aren't as detailed as i'd like, since i'll be making them from scratch!
No one can have just one! Congratulations on your 3rd vintage Airstream.
ha! thanks! i' mactually buying it from david. he was in teh overlander next to me. the '60 trade wind had too much frame damage for me... speaking of trailers, david knows the previous owner of your trailer. he's in our land rover club.

Yeah, it is. Jason emailed me about David and Amy after the rally, had no idea they were all friends. Pretty cool. Jason used to pull my Tradewind with his Land Rover.

jp,
Here is what a p.o. built for a side dinette in my '62 GT ... it's a bit snug but clever how he managed to get a little extra storage and still allow a 6 footer to sleep comfortably.
wayne,
I would be very interested in getting copies of any (and all) '62 manuals you would be willing to send me.
