Argosy owners don't need to rub it out.

Well, not to beat a dead horse...
Surely where you take your Airstream could have an effect?

We Ain't Goin' There!
ZLee,
We were about to post the image above.
We bought our Airstreams just so we wouldn't ever have to go there.
Thanks for posting!

You can get a supplement for the fresh water tank that could help with the drooping. If you experience lack of droop for more than 50,000 miles, consult a technician.

For those of you who polish your units... do you rub the bottom too, or just the top and sides?

I haven't finished yet, but I'm thinking about rubbing some of the bottom too. The problem is I don't want to get too close to the skid marks.

whitsend, in total honesty, I had a few reservations about posting this thread.
This proves that Airstreamers are not the ol' fuddy-duddies some think we are. The responders and mods are great sports. Thank-you!
As some have written, it's also going to speed-up those renovation projects.
Might even sell a few more trailers. I think I'll send this thread to Jackson Center. It might inspire them to design a sensuously erotic trailer. Boy, I'd love to see that!

There is a hotel in Seattle; the big sign on the roof says "ESSEX HOTEL."
The whole city was in stitches when the initial "E" and "S" burned out, i.e.
"_ _SEX HOTEL"

Great question, Kevin. Speaking of units, I've always thought it was a bit disingenuous to include the balls when measuring our units.
And don't get me started on passing your bumper off as part of your unit's length!
I mean, we all know those extra inches aren't usable in a practical sense - it's only casually mentioned to impress friends around the campfire, isn't it?
Long story (a bit) shorter... if our wives were in charge of measuring - I think we'd be seeing a lot fewer impressive lengths around here.

And the numbers from the wives would be even different compared to those obtained if certain movie stars were in charge of measuring.

Dirty Old Men...reminds me of the old joke. What is the difference between a stick up and a hold up? About 20 years!

Is this thread an STD?, if so, maybe it would be helpful to transmit it here. 
it would sure help the membership flaccidity.

We're surprised no one has noted the importance of torque. It's all about the torque!
torque 1 (tôrk)
n.
1. The momentum of a force; the measure of a force's tendency to produce torsion and rotation about an axis, equal to the vector product of the radius vector from the axis of rotation to the point of application of the force and the force vector.
2. A turning or twisting force.
tr.v. torqued, torqu·ing, torques
To impart torque to.
