Having had an '85 325 moho and having looked at a number of the Airstream fiberglass sided mohos over the years, it is my guess that a couple of things happened. First the aluminum silver bullet style moho was very expensive to produce, and other mohos in that price range became high-end diesel pushers while the Airstream remained on the P30 gas chassis. Second, Thor already had a number of mohos in production, so it was no great trick to slap Airstream stickers on a current production product, and sell it at a competitive price. There's nothing wrong with the fiberglass LandYachts per se, but there's nothing special about them when compared with other offerings from other companies of the era. They're just not the aluminum mohos.
