How's Your Slideout? - Page 4

We are trading our 98 34' Excella Classic for a 2000 34' Limited sofa slide out which was on consignment at the local Airstream Dealer. The orginal owner who ordered it new is getting out of Airstreaming. We really liked the additional lounge space and that there was no dinnette. There are 2 bar stools which works great for me and my wife. If we have guest we usually eat outside and if the weather is bad we use trays inside. I have read with interest the comments, mostly postive, on the forums regarding slides. We are also having the carpet replaced throughout with Pergo and removing the bathroom wall/pocket door to create a much larger bath/dressing area. I found it very interesting that that many said towing was actually beter. I have a Hensley which is fantasic with my current unit so I am hoping that the new unit will tow very well also with the Hensley.

Yes, your Airstream is now worth more than you paid for it!

Actually, I think our mechanical support network for slideouts is becoming more dependant on Airforums...

I will be looking at this thread for guidance as I adjust to my "new" SO. I have appreciated the advice and support from the forums from the beginning of my search in 05 for my first Airstream.

You Cummins will do a nice job towing your Airstream. Thats a big trailer matched with that truck you should be pretty confident on trips.
