The Silver Streak E-mail ListArchive Files[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [SilverStreak] Axles
Ralph, Right on! I have really enjoyed Tom's VAL, SSL, etc. Read a lot of others too. The one thing I have never read about a Streamline, Silver Streak, Spartan, or most others is any frame problems. I constantly read about, or see pictures of AS frame problems and complete body-off total frame and floor discards and a starting over. Wally Byam's marketing was superb. The AS remains the only survivor and yet the very foundation concept of light-weight and constant frame experimentations with tubing of thin and light materials was a total give up of foundation. I had the task of working on a lot of Airstreams bad in the day. I have lot's of RV's brands but my experiences of past ended any interest in wanting to own an AS. AS has an incredible amazing following and cannot be discounted. But I too am glad to own a SS and Streamline. The only frame issues I have ever helped with or heard about is below the battery box due to acid damage and that is always limited to the center beam which is very repairable, and preventable. -Eddie- Houston, TX
