Ian, you really hit the pithy center of the issue with Airstreams as full time abodes. There are far better ways to START. I always wanted to be a Blue Angel... until I went to an amusement park and puked after riding the spinning teacups... and the roller coaster ... and the (never mind)! A lot less commitment than six years in the Air Force.

The object is to arrive at the Airstream once you've established that the lifestyle agrees with you. Of course I got mine because I fell in love with Aunt Jean's "silver suppository". I still start smiling as soon as I've got the weight bars tightened up and am doing the last walk around before towing away.

Airstreams have a certain cachet that SOB's don't. But unless you're really ABLE to p*** away $50K and never miss it, try something else even for six months. Get a bumper sticker that says "My NEXT RV will be an Airstream" an go for it.

PS the lottery is up to $80 million - buy a ticket, win, and then all bets are off.
