bathtub in a 13 ft?

I was checking out the vintage vacations website. The trailers are not fiberglass but the restorations are fun to look at. In a 1961 globetrotter airstream there is a dinette like the one many of us have for a double bed. When you lift the plywood cover for the storage area there is a bathtub! It's a little thing, but you could take a sit down shower. Why don't they sell these at Lowes?

helpfull hint.
open two windows. (-not in the trailer :r) using control+n
pull up a reply box in first window, and the other site in the other window.
copy the address box of the second and paste to first.
that should do it.
now if this is not what you meant, just skip over this post. :lol

This is the address. How do I linkify? Thanks Jana. I tried following your tips but got lost in the middle. I never did see a reply option. Don't give up on me I'm trainable. Pizza in the bathtub, anyone?

By ''reply box'' Jana just meant that screen that you get for composing your reply.

So, did you copy/paste that url in your previous message, Maggie?

It should have automatically turned into a hotlink, if the Automatically parse URLs option is checked, at the bottom of your ''reply box'' (compose) screen.

Sometimes it doesn't work, though... :shg


I'm gonna pass on the bathtub pizza, I think. :jester

Hi Mary,
That box is checked but it did not make a link. Any other help?

You can force it to make a link by typing [ url] at the beginning of the URL, and [ /url] at the end of it.

EXCEPT Maggie in my example I added a space between the square bracket ''['' and the ''url.'' Otherwise you couldn't see what it looks like.

:chin Another way to illustrate these examples is for me to use parentheses instead of brackets:

(url)http://www.vintage-vacations.com/61airstream_3.htm(/url)

but when you do it, to make the link, put square brackets instead of parentheses.

:shg Does that make sense? (It's hard to describe.)

Not very many people can follow my instructions so your not alone. :wak but you figured it out anyway. That's the main thing.
You think they still make those tubs? that just might fit in the back.

It seems like any RV-sized tub would do, Jana. You'd just need to have a cover custom-fitted so the thing would be a bench in the daytime. I like the idea; rig a shower curtain enclosure... much better than what we were talking about a few months back, with the shower pan out in the middle of the floor.

Of course, I still wouldn't want the tub to be under the bed area - but as a bench at a dinette would work okay, I'd expect.

It's a great site. They do amazing work. I first heard of it in a post by Eric C. So I'll pass the thanks along to him. I emailed Craig and asked about the tub. He said in came with the trailer and he didn't know where to get another. I thought it was a new one, maybe they had it re gel coated. The closest I came searching the web was a shower pan for an airstream for $495. So I guess I can't afford a tub. I've never worked with fiberglass... Is this something you could make? Or are even fiberglass materials very expensive? Anyway I think it's pretty cool.
