Can't believe it! I'm an owner now!

Greetings! I cannot believe it. One month ago I joined this group thinking ownership of an airstream would still be many months off. Well, this goes in the "it was just meant to be" category! Just hours ago, bought my first Airstream, and she's a beauty! '65 Globe Trotter with Dinette option, all original, ready for some serious cleaning and polish, but she's campground ready! Still cannot believe it. Wish me luck! Any hints are indeed welcome.
My name is Jayne and I live in Sacramento, CA.

Welcome and congratulations! Sometimes the Universe has a way of dragging us along a little faster than Plan "A"... Sounds like fun project.. THe campground is already filling, but you may want to consider joining other northern Calif Forum members at Casini Ranch on Russian River in April for fun weekend.. Just search (tab in blue bar above..) for "Casini 2014" to see notes for this year, and then look back at prior Casini threads for photo's...

Click on "manage attachments" beneath.






If you're hosting them somewhere, it's a little easier. You can just click on the photo icon in the message toolbar and then copy the URL from where they're hosted.

Not sure if the Dinette table folds down, or just extends...

Congrats! That is a beautiful Globe Trotter! We love ours! I wish we could have kept ours original, but she was just too far gone. We absolutely love the size of the Globe Trotters. They are so easy to pull and set up, yet have so much room for a small trailer. Enjoy!
