New Texas Member, Future Owner

Good Morning to all,

My name is Patrick, and I am very very interested in going full time within the next 24 months. My current tow vehicle is a 1994 Ford Bronco.

It has the 5.0 with headers and 3 in exhaust. I know it is less than ideal and a diesel truck is also in the works soon. But for now, it is what I will be using. I have been looking in the 25-28 ft range. I've probably been in around 30 different units so far and am trying to figure out what configuration would work the best. I will be living alone, with possibly a 40 pound dog in the future.

About me - I graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Finance, worked in the industry for 3.5 years and decided that wasn't my calling in life. Currently, I am in school for Process Technology in Baytown, TX with plans to work in the refineries or chemical plants after graduation in 12 months. I would like to give myself a year to save up in order to make this move. I am 27 years old.

My parents had a 1975 Avion camper that must have been like 31 feet long, we used when we were clearing property. It was gorgeous inside and we sold it for the exact same price we bought it for!

Looking forward to meeting others on the forums.

-Patrick

Welcome. There are a lot of Airstreams that come up for sale here in Texas. Before you purchase, you may hit a few local AS rallies to get a first hand look and some real time feedback from the owners. Don’t know what era you are considering. Sounds like a fairly new one that’s road ready may fit your plans. Years ago I spent a lot of time in the chemical plants in Baytown and Deer Park on the construction side. Good luck
