RE: [A/S] 66 safari bits and pieces

A '66 Airstream, unless it has been beat to pieces, shouldn't need the toilet, 
fridge and heater replaced.  Minor repairs, maybe.  Just because something is not 
working doesn't mean it should be thrown out.

After 35 years, almost all the appliances will require some minor work, parts and 
occasional "fix-its".  In the long run it is easier to repair than to replace, 
because none of the new replacements are "drop-ins", and to some degree require 
modifications of the appliances or the trailer to get them to fit correctly 
("correctly" being the key word).   
If they are truly trashed and just "not working", you are looking at about $2000 
for replacement.  Everything else would have to be in perfect towable condition to 
justify the $2900.

Best of Luck,
