Saw 5 different west bound trailers between Riverside and Phoenix. Saw a custom, Salon Centric Airstream with wrapped tow vehicle.

Very nice.

We saw more Airstreams on this year's road trip than the previous three years. Some flashed back, some waved, some flashed us first, some got past before we saw them. Saw a very nice three axle Avion or similar kin in a park at Eagle's Nest New Mexico. Saw a nice 16 Bambi in a Cortez CO campground. Saw an almost new 23 in a Kansas COE park. Yes, the shiny ASs and kin are out and about. Pat

As campground hosts at Cape Hatteras National Seashore's Frisco campground, saw these two roll in to enjoy the Outer Banks fall weather...

Would love to see the inside and extreme size of one of these.

I wasn't there, but saw a comment on a blog that it was very muddy and poorly organized. The person who posted the comment said they ended up going home without seeing anything because the lineups for the parking shuttle overwhelmed the capacity of the shuttles.

Someone else commented that they attended but didn't go to some of the vendors because it was too hard to walk through the mud.

Here's an excerpt from Reeb Ranch on their Western Pacific Airstream:

"Believed to be 1 of 5 left in public possession, our 1962 Retro Airstream sleeps two and is nestled in a secluded field with forest views. Restored by Timeless Travel Trailers, this 50 foot beauty is a luxurious throwback to days gone by. She was created by riveting two 20 foot trailers together, then mounted onto a 50 foot flatcar for railroad service and dismounted in 1989. Equipped with full kitchen and bath. The Airstream goes for $275 per night and all towels and linens are provided, and your stay also includes access to bike park and private trails. Beds include: one queen bed."
They have more pictures on their site: http://www.reebranch.com/lodging-camping/

I went to Overland Expo East on Friday. I got there early, so I didn't have any problem with transportation in or out, but it was a mudfest.

I've seen the production records and believe this to most likely be a 1960 Airstream. Airstream made a dozen 40-footers in 1960 and just a single one more for 1962. After this all the long railroad trailers were badged as Mobile Industrial units and looked significantly different.

I saw this one a couple miles from Highland Hammock State Park, on the entrance road.
Hope you had an enjoyable stay! The weather was really nice this weekend.
That's a REALLY good looking trailer!
