Airstream's next move.

You never know what's next from Airstream. This should be great.

Enjoy.

What a great advertising idea - we'd probably have bought ours six months sooner if we had an opportunity to 'test-drive' one first!
Their marketing people are workin' it!

Do those women stand outside the door all night? It would be better if their hats were flamingos.

Great way to generate more business. I'll bet there will be sales generated by this concept. I don't know if Vegas is a place to generate sales as much as the other locations but time will tell. Good for Mr. Wheeler - nice to know AS is actively attempting to generate more sales in this troubled market. It would be fun to tow into one of the CGs and spend a night or two next to one of the rentals. All three a a good distance from Ohio so I'm not likely to run into any of them. I still thinks its a good idea, however.

This has the "Wally advertising signature" all over it..
While I never knew Wally personally, I can see his nod of approval~!!

Missing Girls?

Laura - I checked, and far as I can tell, no showgirls came with my trailer ... at least the manual doesn't have any upkeep instructions for any. But then again, I got my coach used. Maybe the girls fell off along the way somewhere. On the other hand, I'm just getting used to my trailer - and I'm not all that famliar with all the storage places and such. Suppose they could be hiding in the closet or shower or someplace?

I don't know.. those feathers could cause excessive motions.. leading to "rear end separation." Their running gear may not be .. uh.. balanced either. Excessive gyrations can be detrimental to the trailer....

Hope they're not "over hitched!"
Sorry, couldn't resist!

My uncle owns a KOA and tells me they are not "normal" Airstreams, but special coaches hardened for rental use; he's not buying any and he's a old-time player. His wife is a ex-KOA owner and Wally fan (they've owned
seven Airstreams), agrees; it will cheapen the brand when these "rentals" come on the market. Who's going to keep them shiney?
