Hello from Arkansas!

[lramthun]

We just purchased a 1977 International Sovereign 31. We sold our beloved lake cabin and decided to hit the road. She needs a lot of restoration and am looking forward to all of the help I can get from the forum.

Welcome and congratulations on your Sovereign. I hope you get it roadworthy and head out exploring. Ask the questions here on the Forums if needed. Good luck and stay safe.

Welcome from a fellow Arkansan now living in Colorado. The Forum is an outstanding source of information. You will sometimes get a great variety of opinions, so always take things with at least a grain of salt and validate the information. However, there are some very experienced and helpful people, and you should find the Forum to be a safe and friendly place. Good luck with your restoration!

Welcome from another Coloradan: And welcome to the vintage Airstream hobby. I enjoy it. I spent all winter assisting my friend in renovating his 76 Sovereign 31'. It had the usual "veil of tears" with rear end separation, rear frame sag, bad axles, rusted outriggers, holes in the subfloor, bad plumbing, cracked plastics in the bath, delamination of some of the cabinet walls, and some electrical problems. I've seen worse. All in a day's work.

But the Sovereign can be built into a very comfortable long distance travel trailer. It has wiggle room and good storage space. We kept most of the original layout except in the front room. We rebuilt all of the cabinets. My friend and his family had it out just last week for a week in the mountains.

So you can build one too. These Forums will assist you with your questions. Take a look at the Knowledgebase near the bottom of the Forums page, select Sovereign and stay up all night reading. You can learn alot about the renovation process for your trailer.
