Tradewind restoration part 3

This past week , I have been working on the parts that go through to the outside. The air conditioner, fantastic fans, battery boxes, fresh water inlet, stabilizer jacks, and the tongue jack. I wanted to check the air conditioner, so I had to run 110 to it, as well as a 12 volt wire to run the thermostat. That meant I had to hook up the converter, and sort through the jungle of wires that came off the 2003 Classic. 

 Looks like fun doesn't it?

The air conditioner in place. That will help, since they are calling for 100 degree temps all week. 

The water tank and converter sort of in place. 

I know how much fun polishing is. Maybe that is why I keep putting it off. Now that summer is here with a vengeance, it will be even more fun. Oh we'll, here goes. Don't I look purty?

It is shining up nicely! 

With only three weeks before I retire, it is getting hard to concentrate on anything. We will be going to Santa Fe again to escape the heat. I need to check out our 1973 Overlander to get it ready for the trip. The air conditioner blower motor bearing started locking up on our last camping trip. I was able to get some wd40 on it to get us through the weekend, but I need to oil it. I am surprised the 40 year old unit still works. It is hard to imagine what it is going to be like not having to be back home at a certain time. The closest we got to that was our 5 week trip to New England two years ago. Even then, we knew we had to be back. I am getting excited. But back to polishing. Ugh! 

 These are the trim pieces on the bottom of the Airstream showing a before and after! Still polishing. But we took a break to go camping at Lake Whitney state park for a few days.
