Hi Scott,
Until I read your comments, I hadn't put those kind of words to my
sentiments about how I felt toward our Airstream. All I knew was that
ever since the 2003 Vermont Concours d'Elegance, our "Shiniest" and
"Best of Class for 1960s Decade" 1967 22' Safari was still a head
turner wherever we went.
Granted, our Airstream has scattered signs of bug splatter and
asphalt goop, but the average RVer sees past that and realizes they
are looking at a solid example of how a 40 year old trailer can hold
up - if built right in the first place and taken care of by their
owners in the second place.
It's obvious to most onlookers that an Airstream (with all its faults
and foibles) is still a formidable vehicle for enjoying the traveling
lifestyle.
Our Safari is temporarily languishing in an RV storage lot where I
"visit" it every few days. Any thoughts I might have had about about
it going unnoticed have been dispelled. Every one of the other 60+
RVers whose SOB rig is in the same storage lot - have spoken
admiringly to me about our dusty, dirty, regal Airstream.
