Dear Santa, here is my wish list.....

Dear Santa,

I know you are very busy playing with the elves and polishing the reindeer noses so I'll be brief.

I have been mostly good this year and so for Christmas I would like:

A shiny new 25' CCD
Enough time to use it
Covered parking
and... socks

Santa, I will share with you if you ever need an emergency replacement for you sleigh. Airstreams are very light and I think the reindeer could pull the CCD easily. Also it has a heater to keep you warm. If this is too much, I could do without the socks.

Love and kisses,

Talking Santa....

Santa,

I'd be more than happy to settle for someone to finish all the repairs on my 1975 31' Sovereign. Don't forget the following:

1. Weld the reinforcing steel to the frame.
2. Put the floor in from the door forward.
3. Replace the floor under the twin bed on the curb side.
4. New carpet please.
5. Also please remove the large dent in the rear segment.
6. Don't forget to cut and splice the broken LP line under the AS that goes to the hot water heater.
7. Oh, I need a new awning canvas.
8. How about replacing the window gaskets. It's a messy job, but I have the gaskets!
9. I'm not sure if I really need them, but new axles would be great!!!
10. A mirror finish.

I know you have a lot of elves, but if this is too much just let me know.

Lowell

Boy don't I feel silly. I never thought to ask Santa for my CCD. Oh well, There are still lots of cool items that I can ask for to go with it.

I better get thinking........

Gosh, I hate to ask Santa for much, I've already done pretty well this year, but what the heck...

Dear Santa, I've been a VERY good girl. I'd like a new RV refrigerator under the tree. And maybe a new furnace that doesn't try to burn off your eyebrows while you're getting the pilot light going. Not that we don't love 'Old Fireball', but you know...

Why do I suddenly have the urge to go listen to "Santa Baby"?

Santa,
I just have one request. It isn't much. I just need my black water tank fixed and one of your handy elves would fit underneath much better than I. If it works out, I would be glad to be the tool tender and could also fetch the spiked eggnog. I hope this gets to you in time.

BTW, I live in Phoenix, so bring your sunscreen.

Dear Santa, I have been such a good Airstream girl this year. Last summer I took my owners all the way out to Montana and back home to Missouri again safe and sound. The only thing is, I am kind of lonesome parked here all by myself this winter. Would you bring me a LITTLE sister this Christmas? I already have a name for her! I just can't decide if it should be Argosy or Caravel or . . .Well, you pick what is best! Just remember, we need a LITTLE sister, lots tinier than I am. She could back right into some of those beautiful sites I couldn't squeeze into last summer for my owners. I know she can fit in your pack and you won't have to drop her down the chimney. Just tuck her in the driveway, right next to me. Thanks, dear Santa! Love, Gypsy, limited but classy

Dear Santa,

I would very much like a new a/c shroud to replace the one that blew off my Argosy Sunday morning as I drove up I-85 near Montgomery.

Thank you.

Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is an air conditioner that works off of propane,
and 15 amp, 110 volt. Could you make the shroud out of solar collectors?
Oh yeah and a furnace fan blower made by fantastic fan.

Dear Santa.

I don't noramlly beg or grovel, but I feel opportunity knocks...

My wish list:

1. World peace

2. Underware that doesn't talk back.

3. Self-tightening lug bolts.

4. A 600 foot roll of Tetford single ply TP.

5. An endless supply of self depricating humor.

6. Re-learn a song I knew, but forgot on the guitar.

7. A 600 foot roll of Tetford single ply TP.

8. Another year of my wife understanding me.

9. Checkbook balance that is always in the black.

10. A case of laryngytis for the very noisey neighbors where I camp.

11. More dump stations are always appreciated.

12. A worlds with out cell phones for eight hours.

Gotta run. Best to the Mrs.

Dear Santa,

I have the 25' 2005 CCD, now I just need you to bring me an affordable, long-term space in the Santa Barbara area so I can live in it for a year as planned.

I don't want to drive up from Ventura daily nor live in a space that is one of one hundred in five rows.

- Jill

Gosh Santa, I've been really really good this year. Could I borrow Rudolph (or another reindeer) for towing/backing-up lessons? That would be swell. Otherwise, everything else is perfect. Thank you.

Dear Father Christmas.....

We have been really good and are very lucky to get all these wonderful toys this past year! We know greed is a bad thing - but passion, adventure and pure obsession can not be all that bad???

So all we ask is on your travels if you find an old toy tossed asside and in need of some TLC that bears the Name (SI6923) or (SFI7023) 1969-70 23', Dual Axle, Safari that happens to have a side bath, double Bed and front Dinette can you pop her in your sleigh and drop her off on the way back to the north pole via Stoney Lake, Ontario

We do sleigh cleaning, restoring, upholstery, reindeer grooming - but we draw the line at cleaning out their "black" stalls.

Fly Safe and watch your GVWR!

Dear Santa,
My wife just told me that we could have a new Safari 28 "when we could afford it". Since women speak in "tongues", please ask Mrs. Claus what this means and get back to me.

Having had to decipher that exact phrase several times, here are some of the translations I have experienced......

After I get that 2.5 ct. dinner ring......

After you buy me a new car........

After the Cruise to Alaska........

maybe it means "In the AFTER life"....
