Greetings from New Hampshire

We just bought a Caravel 22FB. We're actually picking it up October 30th. Our intended tow vehical is a '21 Jeep Gladiator Sport with the max tow package.

Our first trip will most likely be local; a nearby park that's open year 'round and has shore power and pump outs.

Our background is sailing, so we're already familiar with a lot of the systems which we find remarkably similar.

We have a trip down to Long Island planned for Thanksgiving. We'll have myself, two adult daughters and a 60-lb dog as passengers in the tow vehicle.

I should also mention, I have a background as a pilot so I'm real sensitive to weight and balance calculations.

That's us in a nutshell. Glad I found this forum, it's already been very useful.

Welcome to the forum and to aluminum life!
I take it your 60# dog is a hound? Picture please!
Happy camping/sailing/flying! It sounds like you have it all covered.

Welcome to the Airstream owner's community. New Hampshire is one of my favorite states. Actually Airstream trailers radiated out of the aircraft industry in California back in the 1930s, thus the all aluminum "semi monocoque" body and frame construction. They are lightweight and easy to tow. I gather the founder of Airstream was a sailor. He used to call his trailers "Land Yachts". So you have found a lot of similarities with your new trailer.

Post a photo of your maiden voyage if you get a chance.

If you edit down the size of your photos a little bit they should post right side up.
