So, checking out his blog, it looks like he's hauling some sort of chopper motorcycle in the back of that single-axle vintage Airstream. (I didn't find a specific mention of it, but saw a photo of the bike on the ground behind some huge non-standard door on the back of the Airstream.) I'm guessing there's some FUN stuff doing on with that frame!

Saw this 67 safari at the "run to the sun" car show in Myrtle Beach, SC today. It has been made into some sort of concessions trailer, don't know what, but I'll find out tomorrow. BTW, it's painted silver!

My husband ran into a whole WBCCI caravan earlier today at McKinney campground here in Georgia. He was trying to get us a site, but none was available. We had to camp elsewhere, but are dying to go chat with the airstreamers there about their rigs and their caravan and about WBCCI.

I don't know anything about a twin bed but this was taken at Disneyland last week. The trip was kinda of blur so I don't remember exactly where but I think it was in the California adventure park. Poor trailer had a couple of pretty good dents in the curbside front corner like someone leaned on it pretty hard.

Looks like they need to do some adjusting on the WD, if they have any. I think the only reason the Ford's rear bumper isn't closer to the road is that they're down on the bump stops.

Very cool! Thanks.

The twin bed comment was just referring to the fact that many Airstreams (especially older ones) have twin beds instead of a single queen... and I'm sure Disney would want that image.

Looks like something Chevy Chase would be driving.

What a surprise today to see several Airstreams parked in my neighborhood (the Western and Atlantic Railroad Tunnel Musuem in Tunnel Hill, GA)! I stopped and chatted with a couple from Texas and they advised that they were part of 25 AS caravan on a Cival War Trail tour from Charleston, SC to Nashville, TN. I had to fight the urge to hook-up and hit the road to Nashville.
Here's wishing the caravan safe and happy travels.

Shane, is that a Casita? And a wide Airstream? It looks gigantic next to your 53.
