I have recently inherited a 1977 Airstream Excella and the 454 equipped Suburban used as a tow vehicle. It has been in covered storage for the last 16 or so years but I am not certain what was done to prepare it for storage although it was meticulously maintained up until the point it was put up.
I have been searching for instructions on how to prepare the trailer to be pulled out but I can't seem to find a comprehensive set of instructions on how to actually get things going. Where do I even start? I read some threads saying the axles will probably need to be replaced and the drum brakes might be seized but without pulling it out of the very tight storage area I'm not sure how to even check such a thing. I will be pulling it out with a tractor (as has always been done) and there is no power available on-site without about 500' of power cord.
I used to love going on trips in it when I was a boy but I was never privy to anything beyond cranking up the levelers and guiding the truck back to the hitch ball. I would appreciate any help as I would love to be on the road with the ol girl by summer!
