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.
