As they broke they were improved as they were repaired, they evolved to a perfect caravanning unit. Fully self contained for comfort. Everyone has their era that they prefer... to each his own.
Now as for your search... you must not be looking too hard. I come to south Texas every year. My Father- in- law, Brother- in- law, and I come down to dove hunt in Lasalle county. We drive down from Austin or San Antonio and I see them all over the place. You need to go looking... I know in Cotulla, where we stay there are a few Airstream parked at some of the ranches we pass. Looked at a cool Avion, but it is too far to go retrieve it and I have enough on my plate right now. Go drivin' some farm roads....

Heh, I've actually been driving every farm road that I have a chance lately. Recent trips to Dallas, Houston, and East Texas have been done almost entirely off the Interstates for the sole reason of Airstream hunting (my wife thinks I'm ceritifiably nuts at this point

). But nary a single sighting to show for it all.
Well, that's not entirely true-- I did see one Smushstream at an auto salvage yard. It looked like it might have once been a 60s Safari, but I don't think there was even enough left of it to even part out.
But rest assured, I am taking your advice and searching the backroads. Just haven't found one yet.
