Hello,
right now we're on in the market for our Airstream, especially the Bambi (16-19) or Safari Sport (22). Up to now, my main concern has been the TV-a well maintained 2003 Chevy Blazer-rated at 9500 # GCWR. I talk with people at work who tow trailers (no Airstreams) and drive BIG trucks. When they know I want to tow with my Blazer (100" WB, 4.3, V-6), I get the "you got to be out of your mind" look and lecture--along with a load of good information about trailering.
I know they know what they're talking about but THIS is an AIRSTREAM maybe I can do it. Now, here I am-new member, BTW-to hear from Airstream owners. I suppose I could defer the trailer purchase until I buy the Trailerblazer or Tahoe but our decision to purchase the trailer has a utilitarian bent. I am working on the road away from home and paying a lot in rent. Buying the trailer will let me own for all that money. So, my initial towing won't be short road trips. But we'll definitely be at the beach with IT this spring!
