Our First (AND LAST) Airstream

[rjd]

Thursday, we picked up a new to us 2005 Airstream Safari S/O. Friday, we were off on our maiden voyage to Spirit West Coast Del Mar . Whooo Hooo!

We love our Airstream! It tows like a dream, and was obviously built to last. Absent unforeseen circumstances, I can't see myself in any other RV!

We pulled the Airstream without an anti-sway bar and felt ZERO sway while driving next to 18 wheelers . The Airstream towed as solid as our last RV (38' 12k+ lb 5th wheel).

My only "issue" has to do with a few minor dents and scratches courtesy of the last owner . I guess I won't be obsessing over the first "scratch." Oh Oh Oh! Almost forgot! I took out my driver's side skid plate on Friday while turning into a grocery store's parking lot . Option 1 will be bend it back into place. Option 2 will be total replacement. Do you have any recommendations on how to deal with the skid plate? Has anyone replaced the plates with wheels?
