Best be sure he has caught up on and finished the home projects first. Before we bought our Twade Wind a year and a half ago I began a bath remodel, promised to finish the new deck, paint the exterior of the house, make new pots and pans drawer in the kitchen.........All those projects and more are frozen in time. The time we bought the AS..... and I have retired since then too!

Welcome. Be sure to consult the classifieds here. It’s where I located my 83 34’ Excella trailer last December. Just keep checking and don’t leap at the first thing you see. Take it easy; after all, you are sick! However, there are worse places than Ohio to have the ailment.

We've had two bugs and just ordered our third. There is no stopping - it is an addiction. The first step is to admit you have a problem. Welcome to the Forums!

But the best advice, again, make sure he is careful and takes his time.
Most e-bay offers have hidden faults that get real expensive, very quickly.

Hi Georgia, Georgia! Georgiah!!  Love that song!
I bought an Airstream because my Lover and wife calls me McDreamy!
My sister still insists on calling me White Trash! 
Anyway, the bug is international and I'm not talking Canada!
Good luck with your search!

Correct! The large doses of aluminum only temporarily mask the symptoms.

The medical name for the "bug" is alumunitis. It isn't always contagious, but sometimes it is. It sounds like you caught it from him. It can last for a long time. My wife and I had it for two years before we bought our Airstream. That helps but one side affect is an uncontrollable desire to be in the great outdoors every weekend. My advise: take two rivets and call me in the morning.
