Are all Airstreams invisible?

[Photobitstream]

Suprtrker, when are you going to Laguna? Willows is right on your way. The Willow Glen RV park isn't much for looks, but it's cheap and far enough off the highway that it is pretty quiet.

I managed to score a season photo pass to Laguna Seca this year, and will be covering the CART, AMA/WSB, Monterey Historics, and ALMS races this year. Don't know if I can still get a camping spot for my A/S, so I might be staying at a nearby park. Prolly just stay with my wife and son in Morgan Hill during the race weekends unless I get a spot at the track.

Look me up, or send a private message before you leave.

My wife saw a 1989 345le motor home here in Tallahassee on Friday. She doubled back to talk to them but they were heading out of town and got on the Interstate.

I saw a couple from Vermont in Destin today in their 1984 310 motor home. Super nice folks! Of course I invited them to Mystic Springs but they had set plans for the east coast of Florida. I gave them the airstreamsites.com and airstreamforums.com spots so hopefully we'll see them in our virtual world. He had the engine cover off and dirty hands. He'd fit right in!

On Sat., March 22, while traveling on I-75 from Chatt., Tenn. to Atlanta, GA.; I counted 8 streamers heading North. And on Sun. 30, on the same route, 5 more taking flight to the North. I was looking for the V-patterns but all seem to be going it alone. I plan to pull mine to the North Ga. Mtns. next weekend.

Levon I had looked at you photos several times but didn't know I was local to you. I actually know where Bogart is LOL.

So where in North GA are you putting it?

Back to topic I saw a TT 1/4 mile from my house. It was turning and I didn't have time to chase and wasn't close enough to get any numbers. I'm gussing it was 29-31ft (I'm still learning LOL). Had a rack hanging off the rear bumper. Looked to be early 80's.

Also on my travels I spotted one for sale of I20. It was packed between a couple SOB's at a lot. My guess is it was around 25ft. Headed East is on the southside of 20 off a access road between hwy 278 and Alamon exits. smitigg you know about this one?

Love your set up...hope to see it on the GA road sometime.

wow!!
two classics at once

We have been staying in Santa Barbara, CA since late December being grandparents to a new granddaughter. We have seen quite a few classic Airstream trailers here at the park (not an Airstream only park) staying a few days at a time. There have been a couple of Cutters here but we are the only classic Airstream motorhome. There is only one privately owned RV park in Santa Barbara so they have to stay here or on the beach.
The only classic Airstream motorhome we were in the same park with was in San Antonio, TX last November; WBCCI members from Mission, TX.

Hi All: We have a 1988 345 classic, we travelled in it for 18 months mainly up and down the Atlantic coast and across canada. The last few years we have not used it much, BUT this Feb. we will be heading south, so be on the look out for us and WAVE WAVE when you spot us. It is true though that so few mh are seen on the road.

Happy travels Howard and Ann

saw two airstreams at Huntington Beach State Park in south Carolina, from 4/6 to 4/10
#1623 do not know what model it was as they left as soon as the rain stopped and later a Soveriegn # 53 both from New York

If you were at Equine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio last weekend, you would have seen mine, a 34 Limited from PA, and a tri-axle Avion. On the trip home we stopped at Camping World in Brunswick, Ohio, and saw a late model Airstream motor home, (white box).

at 6:30a saw an airstream from Fl. Heading north on I-75
the numbers had been taken off but the residue was 8754.
towed by a blazer(s-10) I think.
looked be from the early 60's from pictures I have seen from that era.
Looked like it was about 18' long and no dents on rear and roadside.

This is an older thread that I think I read way back when....looking at the title of the thread: Are Airstreams Invisible"?

I just read something about a Buffalo ramming and Airstream at a park out west and causing $10k in damage.

Might be invisible to people, but doesn't look like it to Buffalo at least!

I drove down from Sacramento, CA to Pomona, CA last week and must have seen an Airstream under tow every 50 miles or so. There's one parked off Hwy 99 South bound before Fresno, CA that the front portion was wiped out. I was on a tight schedule, otherwise I would have stopped to see what happened.

That was probably J Carey. He lives south GA and does some restoration work. www.jcarey.com
Walkabout section is a good read.
is this the rig?\

Sometime they just pop into view.

April 20th,
While traveling west on I-84 thru NY, spotted what looked to be a Classic A/S motor home. Shortly afterwards, there were two A/S trailers heading East.
April 21st,
Another Classic A/S motor home heading North bound on I-81 was sighted.
While heading across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, took a break at the fishing pier turn off and, spotted a nice Bambi.
Met the couple, who were returning from a trip to FL and, were heading north to their home in NJ. Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel

Total A/S spotted while on the trip had to be around six or seven.

Recently returned to Nashville, Tn in our 1979 AS 28' motorhome from Edgewood, Md. My mother in law reupholstered the interior over the winter - looks great! We chose the Harpers Ferry, Robert E. Lee (11) highway, I-81 to I-40 for our ride home. Did not see another AS motorhome on the trip.

We too just returned from a trip from South Carolina, to the AS factory at Jackson Center, Ohio, to get the door to our 345 AS Motor Home repaired(bent out of shape by being broken into), and except for the Classic MH we saw at the factory, we did not see another AS motor home on the entire trip either. It makes us wonder just how many are still traveling the highways and byways

Dr Joe
