I guess I'm the voice of total inexperience but we're going for a 28 ft Safari SE as our first RV. I haven't towed anything since my wagon as a little kid.

Why did we choose an Airstream? A lot of our same reasons are listed in earlier posts here. Safety, simplicity , costs, fewer mechanical problems etc. We wouldn't even consider a moho (costs, mechanical breakdowns, depreciation etc)

One of our main reasons for an Airstream over another brand TT is that an AS is very well designed. As an architect I have always been drawn to AS for this reason. Each model in it's own way is really nicely designed. For 75+ years the exterior design has endured. It's timeless and elegant - an American icon. The differences in the interiors both vintage and new is amazing too.

Compare this to any other TT or 5th wheel. In my opinion most of them are pretty cheesey. Airstreams are downright classy!

Besides... Airstream owners (with very few exceptions) are pretty cool people!
