If you have the proper equipment and mirrors, it usually is fairly easy to line things up. Your other choice of course, is video, which there are many options available to take the doubt out of the back in procedure.

While you can extend the main awning by youself, it is easier if you have help.
...and then you can hang lights on it!

Just make sure to take your time, use a clockwise motion, and don't overcrank it. Might accidentally strip some delicate, internal gear.

This is awesome! How do you folks keep coming up with this stuff? Wait, don't tell me. Must be a symptom of aluminitas.

 Hi, all of this is just too confusing for me; I don't know if we are going on a SAFARI or doing it in a SAFARI?

'Going' on a safari is a thread for another kind of forum...

Yeah, Big Brother is definitely watching us, and shopping our thoughts to advertisers.
Funny story. The other day I got a crude phishing email, something about Western Union money transfer services, so I went to the Western Union web site to find their email address for forwarded phishing emails.
My Airforums ads faithfully contained Western Union spots for the next several days.
And yeah, lately I think I have been seeing more ads for dating services. Suppose they're keyed to the word "sex"?

A word of warning...
Make sure you keep your balls protected, and clean and re-lubricate them before use...
Also, and i know this can be tricky... bend down, and inspect the receiver for debris, or anything unusual.
Failure to do these simple steps can cause abrasion, friction, and even failure, resulting in its removal....

My wife bought me one of these a couple of years ago. The following may be a description:
Aluminium Wohnwagen als »Liebesnest«. Fantasievoll gestaltet mit Leuchtreklame »Love« (4 rote Rechteck-Leuchtdioden), »Spielmobil«-Werbeschild und 2 Herzen auf dem Dach. Die Innendekoration des Wohnwagens wird schummrig rot beleuchtet (rote Glühlampen), so dass sie durch die Fenster sichtbar ist. Inkl. Figur »Leichtes Mädchen«. Fertigmodell, Anschluss an 14-16 V Gleich- oder Wechselspannung.
All I know is that 9 volts lights it up. Be prepared if you enlarge the picture.

Hey! Can you put a luggage rack on top of an airstream? That looks just like my 64 Overlander. Has anyone put luggage racks on there? I realize it may decrease the air flow, but I guess if you used aluminum tubing and maybe rivenuts to the frame.... wait.... am I in the right forum?
