Rude things people said about my Overlander
Posted 08-18-2008 at 10:23 PM by NatchezBear
As I traveled across the south hauling my 48 year old Airstream home to Natchez, People said some rude things........Let me share!
"You'd better set off some bug bombs in there"
"You can park in the back or in the lot next door"
"Well!...... THAT'S seen better days"
"You drove all the way from South Carolina on THOSE tires"
"They actually let YOU... park THAT... in the campground"
"Damned thats a really OLD camper!"
I decided they were just jealous !

Tough is right...
You have a very nice-looking A/S in my opinion - don't let 'em get you down!Posted 08-19-2008 at 02:56 PM by Macfrodge -
Those people just don't understand. A little polish & the comments will change.Posted 08-19-2008 at 03:11 PM by Overlander & Sea - Congrats on the purchase.
They do not understand, the square box folks
Round Rules

Of course, ours is polished to a mirror shine and well kept. It's also for sale - check around. Pics for those interested.

What's so bad about your Overlander? It looks good to me.
Meh.

doesnt surrprise me, everyone is a critic, I would have loved to see your face though when stupid statements like those were saidPosted 08-24-2008 at 03:05 PM by mustang -
Leave the exterior unpolished

There will always be some who just don't get it. And that's OK. For most, moving into the world of Airstreaming is a learning, a growth experience
. And, for every negative comment I hear of, there are always 10 times as many folks commenting on how cool Airstreams are - new and vintage
. I choose who I pay attention to anyway
.
You've made a great choice, the right choice and one you won't come to regret.
Congratulations!!

envy can be ugly , I'm sure plenty of folks saw you go by and thought look at that cool old airstream.Posted 08-28-2008 at 12:25 AM by crestonrv - I stopped to look 4 a sec. looks real straight! 1960 should be a clad coach ( no clear cote ) drop by auto zone 4 a giggle and pick up a can of polish, green can, not wax- rub a litle on a spot behind the lp tnks, you'll be amazed at how quickly she shines. i just did the same with my 48 wee wind and was amazed at the result.i gotcarried away and did most of the upper pass side. she shined right up. my body is off the frame so I amforced to stop for now but i'm excited!!

it looks great and will look better. I drove a rat bike 20 or so years ago and now it would be a classic (if I still had it)
take carePosted 08-31-2008 at 08:56 AM by jpeterman -
Some people just have no concept of good taste.Posted 08-31-2008 at 08:14 PM by overlander63 - I actually DID have to set off a bug bomb in my '62 Overlander! But she is now bug free and beautiful.
