Trailer rewire
The mechanical part of rewiring is easy. The most difficult part is the plan. Any trailer can be wired in many ways. A plan is a high priority. Trailer use is important. Where trailer is to be used is important. What support electrical equipment will be needed. Airstream trailers are mostly wired for the most use for the dollar.
The Airstream trailer has a few electric systems. There are the exterior lites and lites that are part of moving the trailer. There is a parked and plugged into house power as 120 volts ac. There is a 12volt dc system to supply electric away from any 120volt ac .

wiring diagram
There is a wiring diagram of a '64 Globetrotter on this LINK which might serve as a reference.

Frank- thanks for the great info, it will get me where I need to go. I appreciate all the effort it took to help me out.
one more question - the wiring on the brakes of my 46 Spartan is the old cloth covered type. I have cleaned the brakes and repacked the wheel bearings and the wiring is in good enough shape to be able to test the brakes. This old cloth wiring is not color coded, but instead one of the two wires is smooth and the other has ridges, does any one know which one is power and which one is ground? -thanks

It doesn't matter which way you hook up the brake magnets. If you replace the wiring, just pick a polarity and go with it.
