Gotta love that h-u-g-e picture window beside the door. I can see right through the trailer with it!

And them'er purty large pets you keep there. Do they travel in the cab of your TV with you?

Spotted this back in ~2005 at the campground near Indianapolis. At the time, this was in their storage lot, but later they converted this area into more campsites. No sign of the trailer the second time I visited that campground a year or two later.



Gorgeous trailer. I would've loved to see the inside.

Sofa Bed

I just purchased an 87 Avion 34X. I like your sofa bed. Did you purchase it or have the original covered?

I've always wondered why Airstream has never attempted a 5th Wheel. Avion showed them the way with this georgous rig.
Thanks for the photo, Derek

They did - check out the Airstream Integrity. A quick search on Google turned up fiberglass versions, but I'm pretty sure I've seen an aluminum one too.

Sofa bed

Turned out great. Do you recall how many yards of material it took. We have the same sofa. Someone redid it but it's just a ugly as the original. So how easy was it to take apart?
