My wife and I have a dream of an airstream someday, and we've just purchased a 2004 Chevy Express 1500 van. Tow capacity is around 7000 lbs. What size of Airstreams could I safely pull, once we decide to go for one?

Hi Bill - Welcome - and hope your search goes well.
The link below will give you the dry trailer weights (keep in mind these are dry weights) meaning no liquids additional options or cargo.
So if you stick to the 75% of towing capacity margin you will get a good idea of what you can look at.

note you have to click on the "trailer weights" typed in red - as well it states only from 1996 and newer but it is the really early model years too - in fact there are 15 pages of models and their weights - fun reading.
And then you can check out this link to see what the different models looked like from 1936 to 1979 - great photo library!!!
