Well summerkid leave it to you to seek malice where there is none.
I just happened upon that thread recently, and I do not have an answer for the gentleman.I thought his final post is a fairly good and fair question. Perhaps the reason he posted only three times was that he felt his honest question was ignored.Perhaps he is still with us in lurk form only, or perhaps he assumed room temp while working on his trailer. Don't know, but I plan to attempt to email him and I'll tell him you said hello. Of course he probably never knew that if he'd stuck around he would have the pleasure of your insight and fine company. The problems he refers to are very serious matters to many of the serious Vintage owners. What subject matter do you find serious?
Perhaps if you ever consummate your fantasy of Airstream possession you will find yourself in a similar position as Mr. Colplink. If you do and happen to post a question or two I suspect you might appreciate an answer.
