I too am old and paranoid!!She is cleaning up nicely, and have an rv place to redo the weatherstripping around the cabover window. First of many dumb questions, if you are hooked up to city water at a campsite, does it bypass the water holding tank? If so then I don't have to blow it out for winterizing, Correct? I can't wait to get all the checking out done so I can bring her home and start getting to know her. I met a lot of single female campers and camp hosts this year so am not worried about that. Kind of an independent old broad anyway! I will go to girls on the go tonight How fun! Thanks DianeRe: 1975 Dodge Sportsman "c"Thanks for the help on the keys!Re: 1975 Dodge Sportsman "c"Thanks for the vin indicator page Matt....Wow who knew!!?? It is fun learning all about her. I'm going to see if I can run a Carfax on her to find out her "heritage". I want to have her all spruced up to drive next year from Georgia to Washington state for my 50th class reunion. Want to be able to travel around and see the huge changes and not get stuck in a hotel with a bunch of old people!! (my classmates lol) I have one ignition key and one key for the compartments..Murphys Law predicts I will another set Can I get those at Campers World, online with vin, local locksmith,?. Sorry about all the basic questions, I just want to be as prepared as I can be for my next adventures. DianeRe: 1975 Dodge Sportsman "c"Thanks Matt Appreciate and so does my mechanic no wild goose chases to start with but a good check list of things to look at. A good mattress does count! Can I use an air compressor to blow the w/s out after draining or are the components too delicate for that? Thanks againRe: 1975 Dodge Sportsman "c"Thank you all so much for the info! Although I am new to Pre-Modern, when I saw it, I knew it was the one for me. It's 21ft length is perfect! It has been well maintained, and does have a new carb. Luckily I have a mechanic who rebuilds old cars for himself and has a lot of good old Georgia boys to help him. I have ordered the service and owners manual. I knew going in I would spend some $ getting it right. I may not know a lot about it now..this time next year, I Will!!:) I printed out all your info to give to him, so he will have a heads up for what to pay attention to. Interior wise it is in good shape....Coverings/curtains all fairly new just not my taste so that will be my winter project. Is there anything special to do to winterize it..I'm an antique too LOL so do remember what we had to do to cars back then. Where do you go to get new mattresses and seat cushions? I will post a picture after I detail it this week. Thanks again, I am so glad to have found this site!1975 Dodge Sportsman "c"Hi first time here and am learning a lot! Thanks. I just bought a 1975 Dodge Sportsman Class C (360). I am having it tuned up and all the systems rechecked etc. I keep being asked what Model name it has. Is there a sub model identifier for the sportsman? Shes in really good shape and only 44000 miles. If there is something that is/can be a particular issue for this model and that I should have checked out, I would really appreciate the info. I can't wait to get her spruced up and get on the road!
