Intro

I'm not much on 'introductions.' I bought mine near Detroit and proceeded to 'tow' it @ 70mph to New Mexico. If I wasn't impressed before the 'trip' I sure as hell was impressed after the trip. Through rain, snow, and crazy drivers it 'towed' perfectly. Why anyone would own a 'trailer' other than an Airstream is beyond me.

Welcome from a neighbor up north. Gee, 70 mph towing takes more fuel than my 65 mph. I can do even better at 60 mph. I guess I'm too old to be in a hurry.

We just visited your state a couple of weeks ago. We had to wait out a windstorm for a day. They forecasted gusts as high as 70 mph in southern New Mexico. That would blow me off the road.

Welcome to the vintage Airstream hobby. Your need to post a photo of your 72 Sovereign. I'd like to see the thing. I wonder if it has been renovated, or are you going to dive into it?

I bought a 75 Overlander last fall. I've been working on it most of the winter. I have quite a bit more to do to it to get it "travel ready". I think you will find these Forums very useful as you learn all about your 72.
