Nice thread and surprised it's not as popular as I would have thought.
All I found was an old hand held marine radio (P.O. was in the Navy through WW2, Korea and Vietnam). In the wheel well curbside toilet area.
And at least a cup of maple syrup that had spilled behind the sink all over the wheel well. street side...yuk. Along with a cutting board down there also.
I'm going to make sure I leave a "little surprise" hidden somewhere for some future owner.
This should become a tradition/feature of all Air Streams. (to leave a little momento)....after all they seem to last for ever.
My first AS former owner was monk. He spent his retirement years in FLA in it. He left it to his brother and it sat for ten years before I got it. It was full of monk junk. I got his fishing poles his dishes and other stuff. But the best things was his bible and his bible on tapes. Kinda funny for a jew to end up with a monks Airstream.
The strangest thing that I found in my 63 Ambassador while replacing the sub floor was a 12 gauge shot gun shell used to plug a hole in the floor. It was a live round with the brass end pointing up. The end was tarnished and I didn't recognize what it was until I pulled the sheet of plywood up. Kind of crazy!
My Streamline was used as a Campground office. On a hidden little spot, in the back of the trailer, I found some little numbers. I figure it was the combo to the safe. There are some holes in the floor and a rust spot that, I think, indicates where the safe was bolted to the floor.

In my Safari I found a dog collar with a pet license tag from Jackson Hole, two steak knives, and a pencil with "2000 US Census" written on it. All were behind the drawers inside the kitchen cabinets.

I got my '78 Sovereign from a nice couple in Saskatchewan about a month ago now. The owner had bought it years ago and taken his wife and 4 kids on a 6 month trip from Canada all the way to Mexico and back.Found a Marilyn Manson CD under the couch, and a Cleo Laine 8-track under one of the under-seat storage bins when I took them out to clean.Also found a couple of old student ID cards from 1996, some nail polish and lip gloss, and 7 Paseos. Story checks out!
