[VAC] Weight

[Terry Tyler <tylerbears@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim,
 
Friends of ours have a dual axle 1995 25' Airstream. The GVWR 
manufacturer's tag on the outside skin shows 6800#.  I suggest you stay 
sharp as you investigate weight and length possibilities.  Vintage 
Airstreams weigh less than new Airstreams. Single axles weigh less than 
dual axles.  But, don't make ANY assumptions until you have primary 
source data.
 
If you haven't touched Tom Patterson's archives, that would be an 
excellent place to start.  See http://www.tompatterson.com for 
massive database. Click on "Search Site."
 
A couple days ago, I reviewed VAC member Anthony Slocock's website. He 
has a ton of good data relating to where you are in the decision making 
sequence. See http://www.eurostream.co.uk
 
If you have children, perhaps they'd like to tent it. That's one way 
many of us increased sleeping accommodations when our children were 
young.
