[VAC] Re: General Maintenance frequency




Jill -
I've been a 'full-timer' Airstreamer in a couple of different Airstreams.
Four years in a '65 Globetrotter, and two years in a '72 Overlander. I towed
the Globetrotter from New York City to Los Angeles behind a 1959 S-1 Bentley
(right hand drive).  The only times i've had maintenance problems have been
those times when i've let stuff 'sit', as in storage, for weeks or months at
a time. As a full-timer, you'll probably have everything that needs fixing
fixed before you hit the open road. When you're using the appliances
regularly, I think you'll find that routine, commonplace maintenance is all
that's needed. Machines are designed to be operated.
