Eastern South Dakota is very pretty with hills, rivers, and trees.

You can download a brochure in the form of a PDF at any time.

Most customer service entities I know of maintain normal business hours. It's a rarity when customer service is there 24/7.

And as far as I know, you won't be able to get parts from Airstream direct; only through authorized dealers and repair sites.

Airstream hasn't yet outsourced it's customer service, so 9-5 seems reasonable to me.

I get the impression that Airstream is actually a small operation compared to most of the main stream RV manufactures. Not a lot of employee turnover with many long time employees. With still sort of a family business mentality. 9 to 5 business hours with no great intentions to change just for the sake of change.
