Getting ahold of lewster
Does he take phone calls directly?
I sent him an PM, but yet to hear back.....trying to see ask him about his airtug dolly.
If anyone knows how to get ahold of him quickly, please let me know here or message me.
Thank you.
Chris

Due to a previous post, I believe he is in transit from Florida to Hood River at this time. Be patient, you will hear from him.

As per AM Solar in Springville, OR, I believe Lew has retired, turned over his client list and shop (in White Salmon, WA) to his quite-capable and Lewster-trained son.

Good info.....albeit...no longer needed.
I ended buying the 15K airtug and it is exactly what is needed to handle my airstream's needs.
Thanks for the update.

Congratulations to Lew for retiring. He just had a birthday about a week ago and I've been thinking of him.

Like a lot of us he is kinda retired - I talked to him on his birthday and he was on top of an Airstream installing solar - sometimes you just can’t get away from this stuff :-)

Sounds like Lew. I wonder if he’ll also retire from the jewelry business.

We are trying to get in touch with Lew in order to connect with his stepson Michael in Florida. We have a Nov appointment in Naples and the Florida numbers we have don’t work. Can anyone help us to connect? Thanks.
Not sure how to PM but willing to give our phone number on forum if needed.

Thank you everyone for helping out. I somehow managed to PM Lew and then we talked to Michael. A phone number was out by one digit and Michael had responded to our email but that got lost in “virtual space”. We have resolved the situation and once the border opens we will be getting our solar/lithium install . Most importantly everyone is healthy and we will see them in Oregon or Florida.
What a great community Airforum has.

Glad to hear everyone is healthy. Lewster really did a wonderful job for my rig.

Thanks for your update Lewster, glad to see you're still active!
As an FYI, the Airtug that you mentioned in a post a while ago was a godsend because I bought one for our AS....and it's been a dream to move our trailer around......thanks for being a pioneer! That post has helped me greatly and many others as well.
Stay safe and greetz to you and the family.
Chris

Hi Lew. We don't travel so much now. Glad to hear you're keeping going even if slower. I have day when I just want to sit and then I kick myself and get going. Are you in Naples only now?

Hello lewster: Thanks for signing on and welcoming contacts. I'm sure you will get plenty of them. My brother retired to Naples and loves it. I may have to take an Airstream adventure and visit him. If so, I'll see if I can meet you.
David

David, sounds like a plan!
Gene, We are headed back to Hood River after the first summer (last year with COVID) last year. Still crankin' along!
Chris, glad that you got the Air Tug! I actually have 2 of them; one in FL and another in Hood River. They both work great.
