Tuition

Jerry,

That $1,000 was tuition for those important lessons. I've had to learn them over and over. You are hardly alone in making mistakes like you did.

Seems like you didn't have an anti-sway bar and that's why the trucks were making the trailer sway so much (or it wasn't adjusted right). I don't know what your first Airstream weighed, but I got the impression it was too much for your Suburban.

Also seems like you met some good people who helped you out and made this experience much more tolerable. Kathy sounds like a supportive partner and that's not always easy to find.

There are a lot of used A/S's in Arizona and Southern California. It might be better to restrict your search to be close to home. They're less likely to rot there too.
