First Airstream
I have always loved airstreams but have never owned one until a few days ago. I have wanted a larger trailer for a couple of years now as we have way to much gear for our 19 foot shasta trailer. We came to the decision with our vacations coming up to buy a new trailer. My wife and I started looking around at trailers ,she at 30,000 dollar trailers , myself at older ones around 10,000. I found an ad for a 1977 25 foot airstream a couple of hours away from our house. My wife do to work was unable to came with me to view it, so I went on my own. Well I fell in love with the trailer phoned my wife told her it needed a little work but the price was right and I would be buying it. When i pulled up to the house Sandi was standing at the front door shaking her head. In the last 4 days I have replaced the fridge ,converter, water heater , removed stinky carpet , had propane tanks re-valved, silicone on the exterior trim, traced electrical problems and cleaned . I still have to repair rotten floor section , lay new floor , find and repair water leak in bathroom, get new curtains, reinstall a front couch and have trailer packed and ready to go in 3 days or my wife says she's spending her vacation at her parents. The next few days will be long but ya know what, I can' believe I finally own an airstream I damned near giggle every time I look at it in the driveway
