We have a 21' 1994 Sovereign which we pull with a V8 Hemi Jeep Grand Cherokee. We love our Sovereign and use it many weekends during the year. We replaced the carpet with laminate flooring and added a Satellite Radio. Other than regular maintenace it hasn't needed anything. Now we are beginning to think about doing something regardign the clearcoat peeling. Does anyone have experience with the Metallic Painting instead of new clearcoat?

Mookie, I live in Northern CA also, Santa Cruz County. The exterior of your Sovereign looks great. Did you have somone local refurbish it? The only place i can find which "specializes" in the exterior is in Corona.

The hubby and I finally took the plunge and brought our 1992 Sovereign 21 home last weekend! Camped overnight on the way back from AZ and had a blast! This forum really helped with our research prior to buying our new baby - the knowledge here is amazing! We have her stocked with "essentials" and now are making a list of "improvements"

No more designer handbags for me for awhile - it's all going to the AS!

This is an old thread your diving into...but, the facts remain the same. The 21 Sovereign is GREAT. You will love the wood and the extra width available. Clear coat is always a problem...solved the best by Dick McIntire in Oregon. The saggy headliner is the only major, expensive to fix, problem.

Melody, I own a 1996 21' Sovereign and need to fix the saggy headliner. Any suggestions? Without any research under my belt yet, I was thinking of removing trim, applying contact cement, sticking back, trimming where necessary, and putting the trim back up. However, I'd sure love to find out now whether I'd be wasting my time with that approach? Thanks for any advice.

Sadly, I think we must part with our trailer, hence I will be trying to fix this soon to put it on the market. The exterior was taken care of before it oxidized, so it's in good shape. Anyone interested, it's in Boulder, Colorado. Cheers, Nick

Hi Nick...Yes..its a reality. The headline can't be secured with a simple spray adhesive. Those that have used the screw/washer fix have secured the headliner and seem to be OK with it. Look back thru the thread...you can get some advice and contacts. Regardless...the 21 footer it PREMIUM>
PS.. You are surrounded with the best folks with Airstreams in Boulder area.
