So what are these for.

Greetings Paul!

The tubes under your coach likely served either of two purposes. They were generally used to store either the sewer hose or the pole-type awning hardware. Another potential use would be for the storage of flag poles. Recent model coaches often have similar tubes made out of plastic piping for storage of sewer hoses and flag poles.

Thanks Kevin. I think I'll keep them after a little work if they aren't in the way of the hold tank that's in the plans for over the axels. There is no rear hatch storage so that makes sense that they are for the sewage hose. A awning setup would fit in one as well. International model, two trunks.

Just don't mix up which tube is which

Our new 62 Bambi has a similar tube for the stinky slinky, as it has no other external storage for the slinky as well.

95 degree here today. That should dry out the AS. To many projects getting in the way of getting started on this. Would really like to get it stripped out and new wall treatment and floor before Region 1 Rally which is 5 miles down the road. Not looking good right now.

Hey Paul,

Did you get that Overlander from a guy named Richard in Bat Cave? If you did, I saw that Overlander and fantasized over it some. Unfortunately, my husband has the know-how and I am stuck with the desire and very little know-how, so "we" had to get something a little more turn-key.

Bat Cave is lovely, did you think so? I was driving back to Raleigh from Asheville (just west of Bat Cave) with my daughter and I had seen some ads by Richard, so we took the Bat Cave route, came around one of those winding curves and there were a couple of Airstreams parked! So I chatted with him a little and we went on our way, ultimately to get our Trade Wind and leave that Overlander for you!

So enjoy!

I thank you. My wife isn't sure yet but showing anticipated interest, like other stuff has to get done first. It really needs alot but that's what I was looking for since I knew I would be redoing the interior of whatever I got. This will be a long trip AS, Alaska, Baja. ect. I didn't want one that was ok now only to give me trouble along the way. Ever system will be new. The frame, skins, windows, and door are all that I'll keep. Looks like the floor will be OK also.

Floor really still looking OK structurally

. Needs to be cleaned up and hope no surprises under the layers of tile, backing and glue. Everything is out of the trailer except the tub, the kitchen overhead aluminum cabinet, and fresh water tank. Tub seems to be held in by the drain

. Only has one small crack in the surround asiele side front corner. Looks easy to fix. Anyone know if the 59 tubs were fiberglass or another type of plastic. It doesn't seem dried out. Pictures to follow.

Fiberglass i believe.

The tub in my 58 is fiberglass. As with Flyfisher and myself, our tubs were stuck/glued to the floor.

I would also suggest that you junp in and down on your rear bumper and front tong to make sure you don't have seperation

53 No prob - actually I appreciate it, I do get to typing too fast sometimes and have to admit often I've got 6 things going on at one time.

Glued. I don't like that at all. Seems to be helld at the drain but I'll be more carful.
Thanks

greg176 · 06-28-2004, 07:13 AM

The tub is attached at the drain.You have to unscrew the drain from inside the tub.You can do it by crossing two screwdrivers in the drain and unscrewing the drain.Same as in the tub in the house.There is a tool available for the house drain but may be too big for the trailer.
BTW have you changed that coupler yet.

Have not. Still cleaning out inside and getting the house ready for the painter coming in August. Will have it done when trailer gets new cross members and holding tank support work done. Maybe the fall.

Everything is out but the tub and fresh tank. Both in good condition. I'll be cutting the tub drain from underneath with the sawsall. Also need to work more on the fresh tank drain pipe to get the tank out, may just cut it also. Otherwise things came apart with a little effort and a 18" pipe wrench. Found another plate size floor problem under the water heater. Good news is even there the frame was great, a little surface rust.
New picture in gallery. This is progress

That cast iron P trap is not available....I would not cut it!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine was a fight but I finaly got it free with the trick Greg mentioned. What you might do is get somebody Up top to hold the screw drivers like greg said and get underneither and try to twist. Once it moved a little it came right out.
