Yeah, the generic quality of Airstream cannot be overstated. But folks do know it 
as an all-aluminum trailer, something cool in and of itself.

Hey,
Silver Streaks, Streamlines, Avions, etc. get called "Silver Streak airstreams," 
"Streamline airstreams," "Avion airstreams," etc. "Airstream" is a generic term 
for "shiny aluminum trailer." Like "Coke" for "soft drink." You know, "Root beer 
coke." "7 Up coke."

David,
Yea, they walk up to you standing beside a well marked SS or Streamline and say, 
"Wow, is that an Airstream?". GRRR. You can't say NO! They meant well, but just 
don't know.
