Subject: shower
From RJ: Now, if you are developing a new installation, that's another
story....
Yes, my 53 Cloud was completely gutted and I'm starting with a clean
slate. The bath/toilet is on the left or street side right behind the
wheel wheel. I haven't put in any tanks as yet. Since it's best to dump the
toilet directly into the tank, the tank will be under the shower floor. I
couldn't figure out how to put a trap in the shower with the tank directly
under the bath. I was going to use one tank for grey and black. Maybe I can
get a small grey water tank and arrange the tanks to allow space for a
trap. There's not much room under a 53 F.C. for any tanks so putting two
tanks in will be a twice as hard.
Thanks for all the help,
Bob Patterson

Subject: Plumbing question
I have a '71 safari and there are some valves under the kitchen sink next to
the furnace. Two up higher and a third lower.
I was wondering what each of these do. I am sure one should be for draining
the water tank.
Anyone have a safari that would know?
Thanks

Dear Listers:
Here's one to have fun with. I know everyone must have his own solution
to the problem of keeping the refrigerator door closed while on the road. I
have a Dometic over/under with magnetic gasket which I do not think will
hold a 2 Liter bottle of coke if a sharp turn is required. What looks and
works best to secure the refrigerator doors?
Thanks

Those valves are drains for the hot and cold water lines (higher) and the tank

Hello,
All this talk of replacing the tile has me out in the 59 trying to get
the tile off the floor. I have tried scraping, pulling, ripping,
chipping, watering, heat gunning and most of all swearing to get it out,
no luck. Any recommendations on how to get this miserable stuff up? The
others were much easier.

Hi All,
I replaced my floor with one whole sheet of linoleum that was a remnant
from a flooring store. It has no seams and is really high quality at a
cheap price b/c they couldn't use it in a house. It makes the coach look
much longer with no lines to break it up. I removed the old tiles the
hard way, on my knees one by one. Then laid quarter inch plywood down to
give it a smooth surface.

I think it would be nearly impossible to cut the tiles
as clean and square as is needed to fit them tight

Ed, there is a special too for prying up tiles. It's like a steel handled
hoe with the blade straightened out parallel to the handle. It is fairly
heavy and has a replaceable blade. I bought one from Lowes before I
discovered they could be rented at some Home Depot locations. It works
really well and pops the tiles right up. Roofers use a similar tool to
remove old asphalt shingles.

Hi Bob.
I love my cork floor, but it does need a very smooth underlay. Armstrong
makes (made?) a sheet vinyl flooring that is designed for construction
over crappy plywood underlayments. If you can use a filler on the
existing mess, you can still have cork. Do you have restrictions from
HUD on either asbestos fixing or allowed flooring ?

Subject: Re: Asbestos floor tile
Dear Daisy,
I would describe the floor, after pulling the tile, as good enough that
I considered just sanding and varnishing. It's relatively smooth. The only
way one can tell where there is glue is those spots where you can't see the
grain of the wood. I have found a suitable replacement for the Armstrong
StepMaster (which doesn't seem to be out there anymore). It is Armstrong
"Safety Zone" with a color called Soft Cedar. It's a strong industrial
grade tile and is speckled. I think it will look good in the 66 Safari as
it is just a bit lighter than the wood. I'll be very glad when this job is
over and I can clean my coach.

Subject: Re:
Dear Bill,
First I recommend that you put a Subject on your not. A lot of us just
"shine" messages with no subject. If your 66 Tradewind has serious internal
issues I know a man who is looking for vintage Airstreams (one or two) which
he is going to gut and redecorate for commercial purposes. If you or anyone
else has an older coach and don't have the stomach for restoration send me
an email and I will forward it to the Buyer.

Subject: Re: Wallpaper
I did and don't recommend it. I took the walls down in my 76 that already
had factory wallpaper on them and laid them flat on my workbench and
replaced the paper. My experience was that the paper will peal up and not
stick good with conventional glues. When you have your coach closed up, the
heat will cause the paper to come off, at least it did with mine. Maybe if
you are an expert in the glues available, it can be done but I ended up
painting those walls. Ironically, they looked better than new when I was
done.

Subject: Flooring prices
I am also searching for a new floor. I have visited a few places, including
the Home Depot, Lowes..and other "floor" places.
I just found this website.. http://www.ifloor.com their prices are
cheaper than any I've seen at the floor stores...so far.
You have to pay shipping, but no tax! I think I will bring the web estimate
to the local dealers and try to make 'em match it!
Example; Armstrong's "Timberline" approximately $40 - $45 a square yard.
On the website it's $31.00
Plus...I see they have cork! Check it out.

I have a latch similar to the one on a doublehung window on the side of the

done but eggs on the floor.

Ron and Barbara. It can be done, but special preparation must used. You
cannot install wall paper with wall paper paste. It will dry out and release
the first time or two that the interior gets hot from the sun. Andy
