Hello everyone!.....Quick story.
Awhile (1.5 years) back I purchased a 69
sovereign with the intention to do a partial restoration. The idea was to live in the old girl while building my house here in PA. Well between starting a business and working on the 400 acre property, the AS project fell to the side. Being that I have a place to live, I decided to work on an old house on the property. During the past few days, I have been looking at the house and the AS and cant help but ask myself,"what is the better investment?". I have come to the conclusion that the AS is the better investment. You have to see the poor condition of the house to fully understand.
Anyway, to bring whomever is interested up to speed, I did a lot of preliminary work to the AS. I re-wired all of the necessary components to tow the AS as well as replacing the hension(sp?) axles and brakes. Put new rims and tires on the AS. After a complete inspection by a local RV dealer in NH, I towed the old girl 9 hours down to PA. SHE TOWED LIKE A DREAM!!! My 04 2500hd had no trouble with good speeds and steep hills. I was very happy with the whole trip.
So to get right down to the point of all of this, I have decided(with the help of friends and family) to do a complete and total restoration on the AS. I have tools, space and a good chunk of cash to get started. I am going to restart the project by finishing the interior gutting process and just start from scratch. I am not necessarily interested in restoring the AS to its original factory state. I was hoping to put the bedroom in the back and install a centrally located bathroom. This brings the main question:
How can I get my hands on floorplans for other AS trailers that may accomodate my needs and desires? Is it even possible to install a centrally located bathroom when starting from scratch?
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks much,
Ira Adelson
