Your Opinion On a 34' Airstream

[Aage]

Dillonation, welcome to Air Forums!

Two comments I would like to make:

• I haven't seen anyone on the Forums say they wish they had bought a smaller trailer. I have, however, seen a number who bought a lesser-sized one and moved up to a larger one, or just wished they had bought bigger in the first place.
• As mentioned above, Airstream switched most models to 6" wider. This happened in the 1996 model year, so if you can get one that year or newer, well, just sayin'...

They make them everyday, see here.

We had a 30 foot Avion. Traded up for a 34 foot Airstream.....haven't ever looked back. Never had a problem "fitting in" either!

Had a 22', then a 31' and now a 34'. Love the 34' for the space, and it is not much different than a 31' to maneuver around. Pulls easier than the 31', but you have to watch the tight corners or you will skid a wheel. Go for it!!! you will love the 34'!!! Chris

We love our 1984 International. As others have said, it tows straight as an arrow, it backs up gently and obediently. We've been in some tight spaces when camping in Provincial Parks, so far we've made it every time.

The space inside is big enough for our family of five, with the kids having their own bedroom. We love the dinette for rainy days, we even had enough space to install a dishwasher.

Our ready to camp weight is about 7500lbs, with a tongue weight of 800lbs and a vehicle payload requirement of 600lbs.

They are great trailers. We will keep ours forever, and hopefully one day, when we're old and grey, roam the continent in it.
