Steve, I am mortified to hear of your disappointment in the 67 Safari. You have my sympathy. I hope that this will not put you off Airstreams and you'll find the ideal one for your family in the near future.

Folks, let this be a reminder to all: we have a FREE service on this forum to inspect trailers before you drive long distances to get them. There are dozens of volunteers happy to help you. Download the list here: http://www.airforums.com/forum...chmentid=10992

The bad thing for some of us is that we didn't know about the forum until after our long trip.

Well, I'm currently running two tracks, try to sell as is or send to Birchwood Beauties in N. CA for some repair and restoration work (floors and woodwork). I'll keep you all posted on what happens. Thanks for the support!

Steve,
Thanks for the honest reply and it's sad to hear about this happeming. My wife and I are looking for our first AS at this time (been looking for several months) and I have a fear of any long distance purchase. Does anyone have suggestions on how to avoid what happened to Steve?
