RE: [SilverStreak] back on list

Jim and Dot, we have been RVing since 1984 in one form or the other. Last
year we took possession of my in laws 79 SS Supreme Rocket.  They were very
active in the Houston SS club for many years and age got the best of them
and he hung up his keys.  We keep telling them that if they would like to go
to a rally, we would be happy to tow the trailer out the site for the
weekend and so they can catch up with friends.

I am a moderator on www.irv2.com and a charter member of a group called The
Texas Boomers as well as The Oklahoma Boomers.  We have by far the oldest
trailer in the group, but we love it and wonder why the manufacturers cannot
build a trailer as well laid out as these older ones.  We recently stopped
and looked at some new Air Streams and they are not worth anything near what
they are asking for them.  Not near the storage and seemed tinny.

Oh, the trailer we have belonged to the Kolbs.

Our next trip will be to OK and Memorial weekend we plan to take a short
trip up to Country Place in Cut-N-Shoot to meet some friends.  Sure hate to
spend the money on the diesel, but we don't want to sit home.

We need to try and make a SS rally one month.

Subject: [SilverStreak] back on list

Hi All:

After a year or so absence from the list I would like to reintroduce myself
to
the list. I have been a Silver Streak owner for over 5 years and a member of
the Houston Area Silver Streak Club for all of those years. I have a 1985 ,
model 3411 (35') Silver Streak. You can view it on Tom's site under Trailers
,
Silver Streak , Pictures, Dupree.

I have performed most types of repair and maintenance to my 1976 Airstream
(since totaled) and the "85" Silver Streak.

My Wife and I have been caregivers to a 96 year old Aunt for the past 4
years
in Austin Texas but with her passing away Easter Sunday, we will be
traveling
again and more active on the list.

Our home base will be on Galveston Bay South of Houston at our retirement
home. I tow with a 01 Diesel Ford Excursion 4X4.

I look forward to participating and or helping on the list in any way I can.

Good Luck

Jim
