I did get a step support.
I am sure you saw all the pictures I posted of 'Geeks's trailer.

Amazing how whenever I see posts from this thread, I'm compelled to buy something for our Airstream. Being a vintage trailer, there is always something it needs: tire covers, a gas tank cover, a new fridge vent and oven vent. It didn't really need the small chandelier from Etsy, but it's cool anyway.

A Progressive Dynamics PD 4655 55 Amp Converter from bestconverter.com.

That factory installed Parallax converter almost boiled out my batteries in just a couple of weeks between my last trip and when I put the AS away for the winter. I pulled the batteries yesterday and before hooking them to the BatteryMinder I checked the level and was astonished to see how much water had been lost since I last checked them just 2 weeks ago. Right then and there I decided to replace that sub-standard one stage converter. Airstream should be ashamed of installing that piece of junk.

Used to be trailer replacement years 1-5. Years 6-10 original cost of the trailer. I'm beginning year 10 in a week.

Unhappy Year of Manufacture Trailer license plate is NOT available

When did they change that reg? Never could do that in the past. I just checked the DMV site and trailers are not listed as a plate that you can personalize. They do allow RV's but trailers don't fit into this classification. You may want to check before you make your reservation only to find out that they won't give you the plate at registration when you attempt to assign it to your trailer.

It's been about a month since the local DOR told me I could get year of manufacture plates for my trailer but I'd have to get them from Jefferson City. So I sent all the paperwork off to Jefferson City. In yesterday's mail I got a form 4055 from the DOR informing me that "at this time a year of manufacture trailer license plate is not available".

Dag knab it!

A gift from a good friend of ours for our Airstream. They are cards to hand out to fellow campers we meet along the way with whom we want to keep in touch. Love 'em!

I just picked up a sheet of "Amber Maple" Formica laminate that will be cut up to replace the 1971 vintage dark wood laminate on the outside of the pantry and closet doors.

All the rest of the 1971 laminate has been replaced with real birch. It's as close of a match to the birch as we could find. We wanted to keep the original aluminum extrusion construction wherever possible. With the way the closets are built, the only option was laminate for the closet and pantry doors.

Once that's in, the interior will be a relatively uniform blank palette and we can add some art to the walls.

I have seen them in other RV dealerships.
There are 2 types and 2 heights- you need the shorter one for the Airstream-
One screws up or down for the height adjustment- preferable because it gives infinite adjustment-
The other has a series of holes and a button that you push in then slide up or down till the button aligns with one of the holes- what if you need a height in between?

I specifically wanted a blue noodle to match the blue pinstripe, logos, awnings, and chairs. Wife bought the noodle on clearance at Walmart for 50 cents. I want another one now for the other awning arm... And for the corner of the vent hood in the kitchen...

My Dometic 320 head and 30AMP SurgeGuard arrived from camping world. I got an email last week that the Dometic 320 part of the order was returned for refund. I hadn't seen it delivered. I called CW customer service and they answered right away and told me that UPS broke the toilet in shipping and returned it from the depot in Bakersfield before it reached me. CW said they'd ship another right away and it arrived Monday. Great customer service on the part of CW and UPS on this one.
