To dmcummins: helpful info on waste tank (much more than I had), I now have a general idea on the original setup. I might add a grey tank in the future, baby steps for now.
To Zeppelinium: yeah, sewage AKA black water tank, it's gone. When I get a replacement for that, I plan to direct the grey water to that for now. Relinquishing storage space for a grey tank is hard to swallow.
PEX 100% seems to be the general consensus (to Jim/Mitzi, I'll look into the CPVC for difficult locatations).
I've found a good amount of info on Tom Patterson's Page. I'm wondering if Silver Streak's are very similar. There seems to be more info available for those, and the owner's of each company were partner's at Silver Streak at the beginning.
Anyway I will be posting photos of my progress regularly here. I'll make some bad calls I'm sure. It's the journey not the destination, right?
Thanks, Meg

Silverstreak was formed by two original founders of Airstream. Then Streamline was founded when those two disagreed on a major building point. I read that the original breakup was over the use of a third spar in the frame for increased structural rigidity( AS did not want to increase cost), and the second was over using a fully code compliant electrical system in the trailer so that it would pass housing code(Silverstreak did not want to increase cost this time). I can't prove this, but that is what my research concluded to the best of my memory. Silverstreak eventually shut down, and Streamline became Newell motorcoaches. I have spoken to Newell about their technical library, but I had no luck in finding old documentation for my 65 Streamline Duke.
