Newbie gets her first AS!

Hi everybody,

I've been a member for a week or so, a "lurker" for much longer, and an AS owner for exactly 6 hours.

1973 Safari LY 23'

Excited is an understatement. Now the fun really begins!!

Congratulations! Wishing you many happy travels and great memories! I'm fairly new too (since July) and pulling the trigger on my AS was absolutely one of the best decisions I've made. Enjoy the ride.....

Thanks all!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I didn't see any of the notifications so my apologies for taking so long to respond. We just picked her up this past weekend and took some more photos.

Hopefully they will show up straight this time!

(darn it, looks like it only worked with two of them)

Jess

Had it been redone? I know that it is shiny but some use a little powder and eye liner others bondo and cheap paint, just saying. Welcome and whatever the case enjoy!

Glad you are here. I have been an owner for less than a year and on my second Airstream.
This is a good group with a lot of information.
