Hello everyone.

We are a couple newly keen on the idea of Airstsream living.
At present we are living in a 23ft motorhome (An Iveco ex-motocross truck) self converted and have been very happy living in it for the last 6 years! I know that a caravan would be so much more convenient when we travel about, we usually take the truck and one of us will drive the car and follow. This is because when you have found your site and got all set up level etc. it is such a pain to move the whole kit and kaboodle out again just explore the local village or to get groceries.Also the motorhome has to have MOT tax and a fully functioning ,none oil dripping engine. The thing is the only 'caravan (trailer) I could possibly consider would have to be something really special. And I have had a distant love affair with the Airstream since I was a kid and saw them on TV or pictures.So of course have to start somewhere on the road to owning one.
Where better than on this forum.
We are at present living in Cornwall and we run our own sign making, T-shirt Printing Company a lot of our business is done on line,.Ideallly what we would love to do is travel over to Central Portugal, buy a couple of acres of land and live in our Airstream.
Sorry I am waffling on a bit now but the ridiculous thing is we have never actually seen an Airstsream 'in the flesh' as it were! So we are hoping to hear from someone who has one we could visit to get an idea of the whole experience.
I've read loads of books on the History of these wonderful trailers.
Anyway I've gone on a bit too long now.... look forward to hearing from you.


cheers


Jules (and Paul)
