Howdy all,

So my wife and I have been considering getting an Airstream for awhile and now it looks like it's actually going to happen...

Ahem, perhaps I should rephrase...

I have been wanting an Airstream for some time and finally my wife seems to be into the idea. We already have an RV, so I guess it's only now that it's really starting to clunk out on us is she ready to consider alternatives.

Yesterday we were all go on getting a little Bambi, probably an older one, but we're still very much in the early stages of looking around when she drops the bomb on me that she might prefer to have one of these old Shasta trailers.

So I try and tell her things like "but an Airstream will last us the rest of our lives, they're aerodynamic and therefore will save us cash on gas and towing power requirements, and their is a huge community out there just waiting to help us figure out the ins and outs."

But she's still not convinced and is somehow deadset on one of these things, which I consider to be about the ugliest thing that exists.

She is not, however, irrational, and given that we will be using a small tow vehicle and that we do want the thing to last us a lifetime, there is room for convincing.

So my task put forth to you fine people is simple: can you give me any more reasons, some solid evidence that I can use to argue this case?

And please no "if you don't know, you never will" stuff.

Danke!
