Finally - i understand the reaction of other folks in camp grounds. While at AS rallies, everyone wanders around and has interesting conversations - not necessarily about how cool AS campers are... but when we are just out mixing with the RV masses, folks kind of keep thier distance and occasionally give that weak smile and a nod that my parents used to give me when i held a view that was clearly misguided. I thought they just felt sorry for us in our 31 year old Argosy. Now I realize that they think we are some kind of alternate reality that may have some sinister purpose - having fun. Whew!

I think it has to do with the distinct look of an AS. (That big aluminum twinkie rolling into a campground full of white boxes definitely stands out.) Other Airstreamers are easy to spot, so we tend to gravitate toward one another, and the white box crowd might see us as a little bit elitist. (We are to some extent)

All of you have passed on way too much information for "others" to see.
Please, refrain from all ths idle chatter on the "Aluminum Secret Society" - no abbreviations or acronyms please. You don't want some SOB owner walking up to you in a campground and getting past the layers of protection we have develped - cyclo polishing, dump valve repairs, etc. All of you are on double secret probation reported to the highest officials and it goes on your permanent records.
