My Airstream manual says to only jack up the Airstream on the jack points.....but my neighbors hairdressers boyfriend says he puts a small grapefruit in the sewer pipe, slips the jack under the pipe, and it jacks the entire Airstream off the ground. I tried it and it worked but just to make sure I was safe I used three rolls of paper towels front and 2 sides in back for jack stands. Make sure you use USA grapefruit, I would not trust the Chinese imports.

Airstream missed the boat ( Yacht) and should have switched all production to powered units when they had the chance. Those tin cans seem to have a lot of problems if you look at the threads on this site!

Where's my moment?
So, I studied all those beam theory formulas hoping they'd help me set up my Hensley to my AirSafe hitch, but no matter where I looked on the tongue, on the Hensley, or on the airSafe, I just can't find the "moment"!

Well I just got a really good deal on a practically new Bambi for next to nothing! I sent the guy half the money and just need to pay the freight company people the rest of it when they deliver it since the owner is out of the country.
I already got the title and it reads AS Salvage, can someone look up the history on this trailer? Did it go on any caravans?

Moderators keep the Forum civilized.
Moderators squash lively discussion and must have graduated from HOA boards.
Owner Andy is making money—the Forum should be free in every way.
The streets are for the people.
Phoenix is too hot.
Colorado and Minnesota are too cold.
Florida is too humid.

1. Safety of Catalytic Heaters
2. Waste Disposal
3. Batteries, 6 volt VS 12 volt
4. WBCCI Policy
5. Running Gear
What topics am I missing? |
Shell on? shell off?

Who would figure that even making coffee in an AS could raise some heat?
