- Airstream, as well as the RV industry, are experiencing a renaissance. Look at the sales (not the stock price) of THOR industries. All are very positive. /QUOTE]

Muddy Hollow - Thanks for the stats. I agree with your take on the age demographics. And Airstream's renaissance won't hurt its stock either. I just read this in a Thor Industries press release. "Fortune Magazine (July 11, 2005) named Thor one of 40 stocks to buy now. Thor was rated as a 'deep value' stock, as 'Boomers are increasingly hitting the road in its Airstream and Dutchmen RVs.'"

It is very safe to say that this poll is isolated to this forum.

I know of MANY Airstream owners who visit this site but do not participate because they cannot get past the sign up process.

There are probably many more times as many that do not even have a PC much less participate in this poll.

And even a few more dont even have access to the internet, they are full timing and traveling the USA. Man I so wish that I could not have to access the internet and still survive.
It is like I always say to my wife who subscribes to perfection and "the book" on raising babies or whatever... My answer to her is, well how did mankind live so long if we were eating a little dirt on our food.

Get this one.... My wife, (and I by default), had to pay for a root canal on a baby tooth, Yes a baby tooth!
The Dentist told my wife that we had to preserve the baby tooth so that the adult teeth would come in straight. Now talk about quakery.................We paid the bill

I think it is fair to say that there is also a population of airstreamers that are computer savy. Check out this couple. Inspiration to us future retirees (many years away for us 30 somethings)

She's computer savvy but the poll doesn't speak to her generation she's still 21, and I know I'm younger than she is (I was raised not to contradict my elders)--I guess during WW2 they had forms that women of a certain age could check called 21 plus

46 is starting to seem old now.

Airstreemer · 07-25-2005, 06:42 PM

Youg folks aren't interested in Airstreams, and the seniors don't know how to use the computer.

Yes we are, unless you have found the fountain of youth? I have jumped a category since I voted, have you?

I wonder whether the curve represents A/S demographics, web-user demographics, or a combination of both. I'll bet it is the latter.

I am thinking the demographics does not represent true AS ownership. As a lot of the OLD FART crowd is just old enough to NOT use computers. Matter of fact ..I am betting if you had a real age representation that the OVER 60 crowd might be as big as the UNDER 60 AS owners. They just don't use puters. My uncle has is on his third AS. He is OVER 75 and bought a new 25 classic last year...but HE thinks computers are the work of the devil...soo..lol...well ya know what I mean.

A friend of mine just made me realize, "We've passed the point where we can 'die young'."

I have just raised my "mental" age to 30 (used to be 27) because the Dr. has just put me on blood preasure and cholesteral medicine. I figure no one in their 20's would probably need those meds so I raised myself to 30. Although I am soon to be 54 (April 12th)) I have always thought of myself as somewhere in my 20's (until the Rx) (must be my father I am seeing in the mirror!). So 30 it is for now although I am going in this week for an MRI - so I may in for another age adjustment soon. Now, what age do I use for the survey?

HiHoAgRV · 04-04-2007, 08:35 PM

"age of the AS and age of the owners are inversely porportional" is correct in my case- I can't affor a new one!

"Go to a WBCCI rally to see the real age..." Is probably not correct. I put up with enough politics at work, I'm not going to line up for it in my lesiure time.

It's still an enlightning survey showing the high Web activity of the seniors and the youthful passion in keeping these Aluminum Beasts on the road, both completely in contrast to the perception of the general public.

I'm not sure what happened, but that post wasn't me. I remember reading it quite a while back.
Moderators - is something wierd going on?

**azflycaster** · 06-03-2007, 04:06 PM

What it was (I think), someone responded to the poll. It showed your name because you were the last person to post to the thread. I have been seeing this on several polling threads since the tagline poll was started......

Hippo · 06-04-2007, 06:46 PM

I had to wait until my late 50's to afford my Airstream 1975 25ft.

clancy_boy · 06-04-2007, 07:59 PM

I'm still trying to figure out if you want my real age or how young I feel???

I should be able to vote twice for each. Maybe I will take the average but then I will feel old again..........

BobbyW,

As a Business Major, you and I know that your poll sampling for these questions are statistacally non-scientific, due to the unrestricted opening of voters to all internet users.

This does not mean the result are invalid, it just means that there are no means to prove a valid sampling for the results recorded for each question.
