Ha. At least you HAVE plumbing!
I recently got home with my new '72 Overlander. Our first airstream. We've
nicknamed it the 'Silver Turd', as it is a bit scary and smelly at the
moment. She has potential, and most everything is in working order, just
dirty and dusty . The plumbing however is a hodgepodge of the grey mobile
home water lines, black & white pvc drain lines, and lots of cut and twisted
copper pipe laying around. There's so many open ended connections I have no
idea what the previous owners were doing. In short, please figure yours
out, because I'll be asking questions about what goes where when I start
ripping it all out and starting from scratch.
