I'm going to respectfully disagree with you, Tim. Successful businesses cultivate a happy customer base (https://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/CompanyFocus/HappyCustomersGoodStocks.aspx)....

I'm with Steve. Renovating an old Airstream is the way to go (at least for us). We have the dramatic and stylish look of an Airstream. We have the mystique of a American icon. We'll have an interior...

As always, I think Gene has some thoughtful comments. I really don't know what Airstream execs are thinking. I do know that if I were working there and found out someone had put a McDonald's wrapper...

I think the modern Airstreams represent good design and suboptimal execution. As noted, if I'm going to write a check for $50,000 or $60,000 for a 25' travel trailer... it had better be "tight." If I...
