We are new and proud owners of a 1967 17 ft Airstream. My wife and I are both drawn to all things classic and well designed. Naturally this eventually led us to our Airstream. We have had an Airstream mechanic test the electric, plumbing and propane systems and have had it polished. Our plan is to stay true to the original design and layout but add electronics that will make it more appealing to our kids. Oh yeah, we also need to learn how to pump out the head and hook up the water at a park.
Next step: tires & wheels and electronics (TV,Stereo and X Box).
We have learned much from this site already and are glad to now be "in the stream"

I'm new, sort of, too. I've been reading about the renovation efforts of others and am impressed! Good luck with yours and keep us posted on your progress!
