Flying Cloud 28', 30' still offered, glitch?

I am a ways from purchasing (and will likely go used) but was messing around on the Comparison feature on the AS website to see what specs changed typically between units and noticed that the FC 28...

Great looking van.

I have never heard of that company. I agree that all of those vans are too tights, too many uses overlapping.

However, that van looks fantastic and for the price way ahead of the AS version.

Great renovation!

10 Weeks?! That would have taken us 10 months, at least. Please tell me you all are retired?

Sounds like some leaks!

Windows, roof vents, holding tank vents?, exterior lights. That's a lot of areas to watch out for, but I guess it's easier to patch the floors?

I wonder if (either trailer or MH) if it's better to...

Good point

I hadn't even thought about that. I also sometimes hang my arm off...would be tough with the side closets.

Some good thoughts on this thread. Even a simple question about TTs often brings up a lot...

W/d!

W/D?! I don't read about that often. Did you install? Did that take some careful work considering weight, power, water demands? It's a great option to have in a TT.

Leaks in AS Motorhomes

Am in the early stages of planning for what will probably be a used AS TT.

However, have been intrigued by some of the MH listings on AS Classifieds and am thinking that is an option.

I guess it's a settled topic.

I tend to agree, but with so many loving the windows of the Airstreams, I thought there might be some varying opinions.

I do like the internal nightstands inside the two wardrobes.

Definitely agree...vintage (to a certain point) is definitely where we are looking for our initial purchase. The last thing we want to do is drop $80k on our first TT. I really like these 20-30 year...

Closet w Nightstand vs just Nightstand?

I am not sure how far back this choice goes in AS models, but it seems like it could elicit strong opinions.

I like the idea of more storage, and even with the closeted nightstands there are 3...

Similar thoughts.

Nice looking TT and upgrades.

I have had similar thoughts. I also have looked at quality Class C Motorhomes and am more interested in the AS. Also agree on rebuilding: don't have time or ability...

Not handy enough.

Hey...new Avion just posted...

Just saw this one pop up on AS Classifieds...

Looks interesting and looks to me less than what it would be if it was an AS.

Too much to process immediately.

Great question.

I just started looking at trailers myself and am looking at some models during the timeframe when you think AS lost their way. Though I am leaning towards early 1990s if I go "vintage."

I actually...
