Never heard of this 'Airstream'

[wanderer1]

It's on Ebay: eBay Motors: Establishment by Airstream 340e Motorhome (item 180204542528 end time Jan-14-08 19:39:17 PST) Anyone know anything about these?

That is a Pinnacle motorhome, several were built by Thor. Supposedly these were the precursors of the Cutter line. They are not Airstream-branded RV's.

Never heard of them either, but if you google "airstream pinnacle" there are a bunch of them for sale.

I'm sure you've seen or heard the Boar's Head deli meat commercials, where the guy behind the counter tries convincing the customer "It's almost like an Airstream". Err, I mean, Boar's Head....

This is what got me wondering about it.

Simply an attempt by Thor (parent company of Airstream) to cash in on the airstream name.
