I don't believe they were built by - or exclusively for - Airstream. But you do see them often in Airstreams... which I'd guess is because the majority of trailers that have survived from that era happen to be our favorite brand.

Also, they were sold through the Wally Byam Stores -- a catalog selling other manufacturers' products the way Camping World does today. There was also a network of physical locations, primarily (only?) inside existing RV dealers around the country, which are listed by state at the back of my 64 page catalog.

The catalog is pretty neat, offering just about everything available for people wanting portability in 1966. From jack stands, transmission coolers and "Byam Hooks"... to silverware, retractable clotheslines and Wally's various books.

And, of course, Leg-o-Matic chairs. Not sure they offered the tables though.

THAT IS SO COOL! Another thing to collect, old Airstream ephemera. Sigh. Thanks for the pics, I would have thought those were older than '66

Bought a beautiful aluminum and glass sculpture that hangs off the awning. The photo doesn't do it justice. You have to see it in motion - the ball stays exactly where it is but the wind blows the sculpture left and right making the corkscrew rotate but the ball looks still! I'm going to see f I can post a video but for now, here's a pic

Got a Cobb Grill on Friday. Tested it out yesterday, in the backyard, and am in love. I cooked an entire meal, vegetables included, within 30 minutes.

That little grill is genius.

LED tail light upgrade...much better visibility. From Airstream online store. Backup $39, Tail/Stop/Turn $25. Also have replacement "Airstream" decals for above front and rear windows from Out of Doors Mart, $14.95 each. Will put those on after finished polishing.

I'm WAY behind on this thread...

First, I bought my 24' Argosy a friend (see signature) which I named il Progetto, but probably should have named "Can of Worms"
Then I bought:
One parts trailer ('74 Argosy 28, gutted)
One Marinco 30A inlet, stainless steel
One Marinco 30A shore power cord, right-angle, 30'
One VTS modified deadbolt
A bunch of white-headed rivets
LED marker lights
LED scare light
A bunch of LED replacements for 1156 bulbs
PM4B-45 converter-charger
Fuse block
Waterproof LED fixture for shower

.... and I'm just getting started.

I got a pneumatic lifter for my bathroom vanity cabinet mirror/door. I have a new 27FB. This door is heavy, and I find that I have to sit it on top of my head while fishing for stuff inside. After a minute or two I get a headache. This fixed that problem.

Purchased from Rockler. Lift-O-mat gas spring. I purchased item #34373. The kit includes two springs and mounting hardware (minus screws). I only needed one of the springs to properly lift the door. My friend with his 27FB is taking the other.

Hi all,
JohnnyMod and I are both doing our part for the Airstream cause. Today he finished installing new axles. Hooray!
I finished making a log cabin quilt for our bed.

I find they post in the wrong orientation when you take the picture in a different orientation. For example when I turn my camera from the horizontal to the vertical.

I reduced the image size in photoshop and the picture then posted in the proper orientation.
