Santa and THE CLASSIC MOTORHOME OWNER
Ok you "not so sane" Airstream Classic Motorhome owners, this is just for some holiday fun; Lets say that there IS a Santa Claus, and we will presume that you have all been good this year (very large presumption I realize). If you could get one present from Santa for your Classic what would it be? New tires, new motor, new espresso maker, new co-pilot  ........WHATEVER. Whats the number one thing on your list right now? Would it be "practical" or would it be "whimsical"? This might be harder than you initially think.
Merry merry
Mike

The DW has her heart set on taking the 310 to Alaska next year, so I want a spare fan belt from Santa. Just in case something big goes wrong.

Couple of large sacks of hundred dollar bills to be spent on future parts needs.  BTW that is for ANY Airstream owner!

It's kinda sad that when I saw this my first thought was to strip the paint and polish the aluminum... Man am I getting old...

Well it seems that every time I check something off my list I add two things to replace it. I wish my top item could be something flashy or fun like an ultraleather recover of my couch and captains chairs but Im afraid it would have to be something a bit more behind the scene...(seen). Like replacing the chassis fuse block. Its showing its age and has some pretty serious heat deterioration. So I think that might be top of my list along with having a professional installation....boooooring. But a fancy new couch and chairs wont mean much if they are charred black now would they.

I have a door key that's in pretty good shape. So I would need everything to go with the key.

An Airstream hangar long enough for the toad (Classic SuperTec AWD Mini), a 95-96 diesel pusher and an extra 20' all around to play with.
Walls covered in Airstream memorabilia and Sunshine girls (UK PG3)
Heated polished floors that squeak under your shoes.
A moving gantry, for lifting and servicing anything on the roof.
Big screen tv's to watch You Tube videos on how to adjust main and screen doors.
Bar with lots of medicinal remedies.
A tool box with every tool known to man with even tools I wouldn't have the foggiest clue on how to use.
A hydraulic slow motion engine puller for the tricky part of getting an engine out.
Underground service tunnel so no more lying down and having no where to go when the oil filter housing turns turtle.
Transmission jack.
Motion sensors attached to lazers for rodents.
Winter and sumer tire rack
Walls covered in Airstream memorabilia and Sunshine girls (UK PG3). Yes, it was worth saying again. 
A steady supply of virgins for those that can't be named, (cute ones form the buffing and polishing team)
COME ON!!!!  I'm not asking for much, just a hangar filled with.....Okay maybe the virginal polishing team is a bit much. 
Merry Xmas to all
Cheers
Tony

I'm not sure....are you planning on hanging her, or yourself with the fan belt if something big goes wrong?
Cheers

Merry Christmas to all the members of this incredible forum! Thanks for all the great advice, and I wish you all the time to get out and enjoy the roads and our incredible Airstreams!
What would I want? My 91 300LE Classic as a diesel pusher with a new Cummins would be epic!
