Thumbs up What a relief to recover after Aluminitis !

WOW ! I'm cured , I feel light & free again, ready for hassle free RVing again, & not obsessed by some outdated (although good looking) piece of aluminium.
Once you recover your sense , you feel much better. I used to love Harleys, bur recovered from that disease too!

Sorry to say, but you havent recovered, your 2 posts here shows that you are just in denial, not having one is not a cure, just a remmision. hope you dont get the hebe jebes while having withdrawls. the only hope for you now is to get another one as there is no known cure.

So sorry-

To see you go.

We'll certainly miss your wit around here.

Now run off and have fun with that nice slide in aluminum covered particle board shoe box in the back of your pick up.

Cheers. Peter

Well, Hi guys, glad to see you are all doing well, I'm still a happy truck camper... (Bigfoot)
I enjoyed Airstreaming, but TC's are so much more practical...
Take care & enjoy your camping season

I doubt many of the people here will be trading for a white box anytime soon...

I hope you know that by getting rid of your Airstream you only spread the disease. But you must not be totally rid of it if you are still checking in!

Hmmm...seems to me, if you came back after a nearly 3 year absence, you haven't recovered at all!

Maybe your aluminitis was just in remission ~ once it's in your system, it never really leaves!

I think Alumninitis is like the Chicken Pox virus, once it enters your body (or brain in this case) it never really leaves. When you least expect it, boom it's back. Even when you get around someone who has an active case, you can come down with it again.

No Cure for Aluminitus ! !

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you NEVER really get over the "fever"..........
Just take a look at our list of trailers, and note the one "for sale". Say no more.....

OK, I admit that if my wife had allowed me to keep it in my tiny garden I would be much happier, but on the road in Europe, a removable truck camper is easier.

As long as you are camping and having fun you're doing well.

I hope you don't find that for sale fairly new with everything working A/S out on the road.
