I really hesitated to leave the post. I am a Barth motorhome owner and not an Airstream owner. However, you have all been so kind in your responses. Just like all RV'ers.
I recall when I was boy, my dad use to talk and dream about someday becoming an Airstream owner. There were so many times when we were traveling that we would see the caravans of bright shinny Airstreams on the California highways, (which were mostly 2 lanes at that time).
One time we were setup (in the trailer you see above) somewhere, it could have been Bakersfield, Yuma or Oceanside or anywhere in between. A great Airstream pulls up and camps along side of us. I recall that the woodwork was maple. I was only maybe 8 years old and learned what beautiful maple woodwork looked like that day and have never forgot the experience. Probably, because my mom talked about that "maple Airstream" until she left us some 15 years ago.
God bless and pleasant journeys
