Re: [SilverStreak] Introducing a new Silver Streak owner

[<thetansedan@xxxxxxx>]

If you had PM'd me, I'd have sent you here, but you seemed convinced about 
A/S. I have learned a great deal from the A/S people (so many things about 
theirs correspond with ours, unlike other, conventional trailers), and 
recommend their sites as well as the few Avion ones I have found.

Glad you found a trailer you like, I think that matters more than the exact 
brand. We enjoy ours thoroughly, and I have a long list of things to do, 
mainly small.

The hinge replacement posts going on currently (exterior door) is something 
to look into, as the group buy price appears to be very good. That hinge is 
a weak point for these trailers.

Subject: [SilverStreak] Introducing a new Silver Streak owner

Hello everyone,

I will be taking delivery of a (33 foot?) 1983 Silver Streak sometime
today, and I am so excited! I had been searching for an Airstream, but
a helpful chap on one of their forums pointed me to the ad for the
beauty I bought.

Anyway, this is my first time owning a travel trailer (had an
adventure with a motor home some years back -- one of the cheap "stick
and staple" sort), let alone a unique piece of Americana like a Silver
Streak. I've been searching for forums, resources, etc., but so far
this is all I've found. I'm looking forward to enjoying her, learning
more about her, and making improvements where necessary or desired.

Any and all words of advice or wisdom, and any links to good resources
for quality Silver Streak and general RV equipment will be much
appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

Sunni
