It was never confirmed that this was in fact an Airstream trailer at 
all, though, so you should be suspect if using this as a datapoint.

Of course if the title was ever lost the owner can pretty much say 
whatever they want when getting it re-titled... so unless it's the 
original title or there's a paper trail back to the original title, 
this too should be suspect data.

I assume this trailer has passed through quite a few hands since 
manufacture so I want to make it clear that by bringing this up as a 
risk I am not implying in any way that the current seller is behaving 
or has behaved unethically.
