Andy at Inland RV can probably tell you if the glass is available or not. Have fun and keep posting pics. Bet you got a few thumbs up on your way home

Charles,
Measure the overall length of the Vista View (roof window) they are still available from Airstream thru any Airstream dealer. However expect to pay about $250 for one. Dunno about the back window. Any possibility it is flat glass and can be done by a competent glass shop? They may be available thru Airstream. My dealer is Out of Doors Mart in Colfax, NC. Ben and Paul work parts and are great to deal with.

Charles, glad to see you made it home. The price you pay for the rig is always just a down payment. I'm happy to hear that it ran well. Must have been a bit brisk with the skylight window out, or did you have duct taped closed?
May I suggest that you start a new thread with your next post. The beginning of the comeback of the rig..... yet to be named....perhaps we'll see you in Hiawasse GA in April.

Charles, if the body is straight and the chassis and running gear are good (and good running gear isn't necessarily mandatory...), then a classic MH is NEVER a total loss! It's just a matter of how much you're willing to put into it to have it in the condition you want! Actually, that one looks pretty good for it's age. I've seen much, MUCH worse! Best of luck!

Well....I try not to think about the cost. It's not unlike other hobbies one might have....if you really love something cost is not too much of a consideration. When finally got into the driver seat...ready to start 1600 miles of driving....I told the old gal (maybe that's her New name) I'm here to rescue you....you get me home and I will take care of you. She upheld her part so I (also, the wife) we intend to fix her up like new. We've started the process by doing a complete clean job inside....completely gutted the living room area....tore out all the old carpet. She looks better already. Much Much more to do.

Charles,
Other than some paint peeling over the front windshield, that is a nice paint combination with the stripes. Have fun getting her squared away and hope to see you at one of the north GA. rallys in the future.

I'll take your advice Glen and start another thread.... seeing how much there is to do with this MH I would guess I will be writing about ...and asking alot of question before I get done with her.
Thanks everyone for all of your advice.... I will try and post pictures as I make my way through the overhaul/ repair process
