Airstreamers do have a reputation of being aloof. Our club moto is "its fun to be friendly". I think its important to socialize with people in the campground that might not be Airstreamers. When we have a rally its easy to just associate with your friends that you haven't seen in awhile sometimes at the exclusion of other campers that might be close by. As a club and an individual I think its important to be sociable to those around you regardless of what kind of RV they are using. I've even spoken to Prevost owners that were pulling Hummers as toads.

Cool

[QUOTE=
I also mentioned that I was buying one to a lady from work, who loves camping in her SOB camper, and she said, “ewww, I never liked them…they look junky to me”

So I guess not everyone cares for them. Cool with me! [/QUOTE]

Um-hm. Me, too.

The same neighbor I've been talking about -- quite awhile after we'd told him we were looking for an Airstream, stopped by to tell us about a tow vehicle-trailer rig he'd seen for sale in a local park. He thought it was a good deal, and it probably was. When I said, "But we really want an Airstream," he said, "OK, well be snooty, then." That's when I started my sales job on quality, % still on the road, don't lose their value as much, etc. But still don't know where the "snooty idea came from. Guess I'll have to inquire!

"One man's meat may be another's poison". It's great that all of us don't think alike. I personally don't want to drive a motorhome, but those that do wouldn't consider a trailer. There are pleanty of products out there for us to choose from.

Some of us choose to have both! (I do)
Can you think of anything cooler than an Airstream MH towing an Airstream trailer? It is really kinda snooty thou, I mean who tows around a guest house behind their motorhome but a millionaire Airstream owner?

We have some very dear friends in PA that have a B-Van that is quite capable of pulling their 34'.

My first trailer was an Aristocrat Lo Liner, of which I promptly changed the N to F to say it was my "Lo Lifer" This brought a lot of laughs to a lot of people. I still don't mind being a "lo lifer" but I have to admit, since I "moved up" to an AS, I am praying it doesn't rain too hard on my first outing,,,, least I drown from my nose being held up so high...! JK You guys make me laugh!

Doesn't matter. I loved the low-lifer tale.

A couple of times, we've had people knock on our door, at larger more crowded private type parks, asking to see the interior of our AS...

Usually, with the door closed in the afternoon, we're relaxing or napping inside, and I'll tell these curious types that we're 'Naturalists' relaxing in the nude, and to stop by some other time when they see the door open...

The 'looks' we get are predictable...with a 'sorry, maybe later', reply...

Always keep em' guessing, is my motto!

Way back when I was married, the first time, my husband used to dream about having an Airstream. He thought they were the coolest ever. I remember looking at one and thinking, "Oh not me, it's like living in an airplane..."
I had a best girlfriend back then who thought traveling in a luxury trailer was the only way to go camping and I was a die hard backpacker in those days. I swore you'd never catch me in one.
Years and years went by and now I come to find out my ex husband and my old best friend are a married couple of couch potatos and yours truly ended up living the traveling life with an Airstream. I'd say it was one of the best decisions I ever made, even if I have to eat my old words....Bless them for giving me my first view of the good life!
