I'll be an international 27Fb owner at the end of this. But I'll probably poke back around here because I'll miss the folks in the club.

The 75th Bambi is beautiful, but I have the same problem with it. It's too small for my family of four, particularly with kids who are close to becoming teenagers.

Randjg1,
You should post it on the airforums classifieds as well...

dog_tired · 06-18-2009, 05:38 AM

whoops...i just noticed it's there!

Randjg1 · 06-18-2009, 08:10 AM

Do you guys know if the screen door cut out piece from the 75th is available as a part for other trailers? I seem to recall seeing it in the airstream store but i do not now. Something i'd like to have in the next one.

I think those were all made by David:

vintage airstream and other classic travel trailers

David put a few on ebay in '07. That's where I got mine with a first and only bid. Probably wouldn't happen today.

No kiddin'. David offered two or three prototypes here off the forums for sale and I scooped up one of them and its proudly on my screen door to this day. Looks great!

I paid about $100 for it I think two or three years ago, but I can assure you, if I were ever crazy enough to sell it, I am fairly sure it would sell for more than that....but I digress....I didn't buy it for income, I bought it because it was just too cool to pass up.

We bought David's 'Home Sweet Home' as well. We have the original 'Airstream Company of Jackson Ohio' as well. We like both, but 'Home Sweet Home' has been on it for 2 years now.

PS. Keep those registry entries coming! See Camp ADK - 75th Registry

Cheers

A quick update on # 18 .... she has now been in 28 States and 2 Canadian Provinces, the last trip being to Banff and Jasper. She has now been towed a little over 30,000 miles. Now for the bad news, #18 suffered signifigant hail damage, but somewhat good news, State Farm to the resuce, she will spend some of the winter having body repair work done. I will let you know how well that works out.

Add to the registry, 75th anniversary Bambi, production #19
Owned by Lynne Brubaker

We recently became aware of a repo at Pouslbo RV in Washington state. When we contacted them about it, they said that a buyer was flying in from Idaho for it. That was about a month ago. Hope the new owner is a happy camper!

dwinick · 12-01-2009, 07:37 AM

That bambi was #19 and is now in Virginia. The new owner and I are friends. She stopped my my studio last weekend with the trailer. She pulled it across country aqfter it was shipped from WA to AZ. I checked out the trailer and it was in pretty new condition.
She's very happy.

Thanks for the updates. Just doing some edits on the site today.

I've been processing a lot of movies and photos I have taken over the years, including this video (photo) montage which features our 75th Anniversary DW Bambi.

awesome video - horrible delivery. why vimeo? have you heard of a new service called youtube? videos there run smooth.

campadk · 03-10-2010, 05:08 AM

Why Vimeo? Better quality and useability than YouTube. Actually I moved from YouTube to Vimeo for those reasons (and because am using a higher definition video camera this year).

Delivery works great and video is smooth! If you are on an older computer, or slower connection though, you'll want to turn 'HD' off. Did you wait a few seconds for the video to start to load?

I am on MAC these days, and I'll admit my 2-4 year old PC's don't handle video as well. It has nothing to do with Vimeo. It's usually slow hardware, slow internet connections or older versions of Flash that may not be able to handle HD.

I have video footage as well on my Fish Creek Pond TV Channel at

Dave,

Turning the HD button fixed it. Yes my coffee table notebook is old. Broadboand here can't be faster - fiber to the house. This usually cures all ills.

Your videos are wonderful. I hope our paths cross this season. Are you planning an April or May weekend yet?

fotochop · 03-10-2010, 12:06 PM

just beautiful, Dave!

..tho I'm not sure THAT level of luxury can be considered "camping" ;-) you'll have to come up with a new word...

some folks collect prints, some collect sculpture, how wonderful to 'collect' an almost one-of-a-kind Airstream!! here's to many happy days on the road for you....heck, just sitting in the driveway!
