The reduction in weight for the Safari mentioned above is an important step in the right direction.
Looking at the Airstream Weight table I found this:
1954 Flying Cloud 22 2545 lbs
1965 Safari 22 _____3320 lbs
1977 Safari 23 _____3850 lbs
1987 Sovereign 23 __4300 lbs
2001 Safari 23 _____4700 lbs
2007 Safari 22 _____4000 lbs

In 50 years, the weight almost doubled! It's good to see this trend reverse itself.
