| Thanks for the help
Brand new (old but new). I'm retiring from 40 years of teaching this coming May and am beginning to look for an AS as well as a tow vehicle. I haven't bought a car since the 90's and have never set foot in an Airstream. So I know no terminology for towing, purchasing, "streaming". But I know I'll be living on the road for a year hawking my books and cds, though really just to see the country. At 64 years old, I don't plan to get anything longer than 20' and a pickup truck.
Looking at Airstreams, I'm wondering whether the higher cost is really higher quality. Or are people buying a mystique? From online readings and pictures, I do like the Airstreams and they do seem to have a higher resale value. It's like my main guitar. It's a vintage Gibson which I bought in the 60s. Some people buy them now but as much for the "vintage Gibson" idea as for the sound. I'm not into "brands" and "ideas" and image. But I do like the pictures of the interiors of Airstreams.
Since we don't have a dealer in Charleston, SC, I know I should go see some, feel a more solid floor under me or see the smoother joints, etc. Do you suggest I go to a rally or is there a show where I can see Airstreams for sale that will help me compare? Thanks
