Same story you've heard before: Have been enamored with Airstreams since I was a kid. Had some family friends ready to sell a 1984
Sovereign they've had for a few years, parked at a ranch the entire time. They purchased from original owners. I know absolutely nothing about RVs, travel trailers, etc. (I've always been a tent camper) other than I love them and my wife and two children are beyond excited about this Airstream (as am I).
It is really good shape, with almost everything in working order, but I need the A/C serviced and a general 'once over' servicing, cleaning of the trailer.
No local Airstream dealer in San Antonio (there is one between here an Austin). They haven't been using the water/bathroom/etc. as they've had it next to a barn with full bathroom, so it hasn't had water in tanks in a while. So I need the full servicing and even some education/walk through. The owner is from out of town and mentioned finding local 'fix it' folks/hobbyists vs dealers that will likely be just as good/better for more reasonable rates.
So, to a brand spanking new owner that has yet to even go get his trailer, do you kind folks know of any local San Antonio area mechanics that would be good to take the trailer to? Should I just take it to Ancira RV or the Airstream dealer up in Austin?
Many thanks in advance for the help and information.
