I didn't see a posting for this size so I am going to try putting one on now. Anyone else have this model?

We got one! It is a rear twin that has been 'temporarily' modified with a queen.

I always see ones older, often newer but rarely around '92.

What plasticoat? Mine has just about all peeled off above the blue stripe. It used to look like someone had poured acid on the top and it dribbled down the sides, making the sides look pretty bad. So I have been removing the remaining coating as best I can so it looks even all around. Then I am waxing the bare aluminum. It's been really hot so I haven't been working on it for several months but I will be working to finish this soon.
It seems that Airstream could have figured out a better solution to the aluminum oxidation problem. I wonder if they ever talked to some "real" chemists about this in the past?
A friend of mine paid around $2800 to have his recoated at C&G down around Bellflower (?) near Los Angeles. My wife and I are not quite ready to fork out this kind of cash.....we have a junior and senior in high school who are about ready to head off to college

so will put up with my "fix" on this.
