[VAC] Airstream Frame falts

[JSmith1805@xxxxxxx]

I just returned from Fredicksburgh had a relay great time. Met some wonderful 
people. 
No sooner than When I returned home I find myself looking at a discussion 
about frame sag. Are airstream frames really that incredibly week.I installed 
new holding tanks in my 65 tandem axle tradewind.(A dived tank for both gray 
and black water) Is there a fatal fault with the frames in general?It gets 
scary when I read about the dangers of adding a couple of batteries to the 
rear of the coach. Wouldn't that amount of extra weight on the tough (as some 
advise) also be dangerious?As there is a lot of distance between there and 
the axle supports. 
Last summer I hauled over 1000lb of hardwood on the inside of my A.S. 1500 
miles that was before I saw all these letters describing all the frame 
provlems.When I had the bath floor out I inspected the frame and it looked 
substantial to me. What is the true story.? Should I find someone who I don't 
like very well and sell the trailer to Him? 
A side bar to this discussion. Many of you have seen on these pages my 
dislike for single axle Trailers when we were ready to leave Fredicksburg I 
discovered I had a flat tire on the trailer.No problem I had a brand new 
spare installed it and took off when we stopped some 300miles down the road 
for the night I found the new spare was flat(a faulty valve stem) It must 
have been flat a long time the new whiskers were not worn off.The trailer 
towed just fine. had I had a single axles trailer I would have been in deep 
dudu.
