It seems that few people these days are putting their WBCCI red numbers on their trailer and more are opting for some kind of sign to hang out when they get to a rally or they mount them in the windows. Back in 1986 to '94 when I had my first Airstream, everybody was proud to put the numbers on their rig so you could identify other members as you traveled the Interstates. Why the trend toward NOT putting on numbers?
I asked one fellow and he said, "Maybe people don't like others telling them what to do." Another said "They leave a permanent mark when you remove them." That didn't make much sense in that if you sell your trailer, removing the numbers and the residual mark is someone else's problem, so why go 10 years without your club ID?
Is there some hidden agenda here or some reflection of controversy that I missed when I was sans Airstream for about 14 years ? ?
