Is it just me, or does everyone else walk around stooped-over in their AS? I keep banging my head on things, like the overhead storage compartments (I'm restoring mine). I've got the beds out, etc, right now. But really, I keep my head ducked down when I walk around inside.

What did you say? Sorry I was busy rollerskating back and forth in mine...

Yes that seems to be a common complaint. I'm not sure why the new ones are not a few inches taller.

This is my sister. She is on the phone with a customer, and therefore unable to defend herself from the coke box hat attack.

This goes a long way to explaining why customer "service" never is.

My wife and I have joked for years about "Airstream Induced Posture;" rounded, slumped shoulders, and head permanently ducked down.

Well, there is 2 answers.

1. Cut the legs off.

2. Raise the shell.

Seriously, raising the shell for tall people is done. Costs a few bucks, but you get to keep the legs.
