Winter Projects
Dec 6th, 2007 by Vintage Trailer Supply
The snow has arrived here in the North. With a foot of the white stuff on the ground, it’s hard to think about trailer travel right now. But a lot of our customers are already planning their winter restoration projects. There are two big improvements you can do inside your trailer that are not too time consuming and will make your trailer a lot more livable next Spring.
- Power Converter Replacement! If you have an older trailer with a Univolt, you might seriously consider upgrading to a modern solid-state 3-stage converter. We highly recommend the Progressive Dynamics 9200 series converter. They’re extremely well built and have the best battery storage stage of any converter sold. In many cases, replacing your old converter is a one or two hour project, so there is no excuse. You’ll have quiet, reliable power and your battery will recharge faster and stay healthy longer.
- Toilet Replacement! Sealand Traveler toilets are excellent replacement toilets. They have household size seats and use very little water. They have sanitary and attractive china bowls. The Traveler Lite is a bit smaller than the Traveler Plus, but it has one big advantage: It fits on a standard two-bolt household style floor flange. The Traveler Plus requires the installation of a four-bolt flange (or the use of an adapter kit).
These two improvements are relatively quick and painless and will make your Airstream better immediately. Let me know if you have questions about either project and I’ll be glad to help!
Have a warm, safe Holiday season.

Where are you located? I would like to have a resourse in the north.
I’m in Maine. I have a 1972 Overlander. Of course it needs work!
A very interesting website. I plan to access it again when I get home and have more time. There is much I need to look into here.
