New to the Airstream world!

[clarabelle]

My name is Clara and I'm new to the Airstream community. I've always dreamed of owning an airstream and today my fiancé and I made that come true! I don't know the exact model of the one we bought (neither did the owner), but I believe her to be an '80 international ambassador! (Please correct me if I'm way off). It's in rough shape and is going to need a lot of love. But we both enjoy the work and can't wait to get started! With a lot of hard work, attention, and little luck we hope to restore Luna (her name) to her glory days!

International refers to the trim line. Ambassador is the model. But I have never seen an Ambassador that is not International, which has more bells and whistles. The other trim lines are Land Yacht and Standard. I also have never seen a standard. Over the years Airstream used the trim line and model names pretty loosely.

That makes sense! Thank you!

Welcome! Where are the pics!!!

Definitely post pics and welcome to Airstreaming. It's so much cooler than you can imagine. Go to a few rallies (when you're ready), soak in the knowledge of generous contributors here, and hit the road as much as possible to the kinds of destinations you love whether they're boondocking, parking at friend's places, or RV parks.

I am very recently back myself after an eight year hiatus (far too long!).

Let me see if this one works...

It posted it sideways for some reason - lets see if mine will post right side up

Welcome to the family, we are glad you're here!

Regarding iPhone pictures, for some reason the Forum software always posts them sideways. Best way to fix it is to "resize" the pictures on your Mac or PC and upload those. Somehow, re-sizing the picture makes it post right-side up.

Regarding photos, we would love to see as many before, during and after photos as you can stand to post. Folks will line up to cheer you on with every success, and offer sage (and not-so-sage) advice if things get rough. You are taking on a big project, but with enough energy, love and stick-to-it power, you'll have an amazing Airstream when you are done. There are plenty of threads here from folks who have taken on and successfully completed similar challenges, with wonderful results. Can't wait to join in celebrating each success along the way.
