Buying an Airstream...

Carol, I assume you're looking at eBay 2427036296 . That looks like a decent unit, if you're willing to build a dinette, which shouldn't be all that much trouble.

The big Airstream question is "frame separation," which you can find a lot more infomation on in this forum. Other than that, if the fridge and airconditioner work, you're pretty much set.

The question for you to ask yourself is "What will I tow this monster with?" I have a 25' Airstream that I tow with a 2001 Tahoe 5.3L with the factory towing package, and while the frame and towing setup is fine, I wouldn't mind another 50 hp at times. O well!

Pay careful, careful attention to your hitch and tow setup. I probably spent as much time researching that as I did the trailer.

But if you do it right, which I would blushingly say that I did (or at least "close enough") towing is not a problem.
