Earlier this winter, I mentioned that I think of buying a small Airstream. I was seriously a nice, new little Bambi.
As some of you right now I know I borrowed a small camper to give, to try RV travel. He was a smart move, as I learned that a small caravan would not be good for me. RV travel seem to be huge, but I need space! Place for me room for toys, space to play!
I was first attracted by the Airstream brand because of quality, in my opinion provides the quality and far superior to that offered by any other manufacturer. I was also attracted by Airstream Models of childhood memories. The memory of the shiny silver trailer spend on the road. Reminders to people to stop what they were doing to the elegant design, as he rode past.
After months of research, months of research by collecting many of the Brochure, it looks like I found my own Airstream. Very different than what I had planned to buy, when the search began, but I think perfect for me.
I bought a long and great vintage Airstream, international model. Restored and rebuilt from the frame.
Sometimes, during my research, I discovered how popular vintage Airstream models were, and the lengths people will keep them in good condition. In addition, I discovered that I’d like a vintage model. Anyone who knows me knows I love beautiful things, exquisite antiques. This is consistent with Airstream, dass
I also learned during my research, how difficult it is to find a vintage Airstream is for sale. They are found only rarely on sale, and worse, those who need to sell often very extensive work on up to today’s standards to be adjusted. Anyone who knows me knows I’m not very interested in these projects.
The one I found is perfect. Almost complete recovery, and what is still considered a very good price. Well, I think the price is a relative thing. This vintage model is about 35 years, and it costs as much as you might have a new caravan of some other brands, so it was not cheap, but compared to new models in its size and it was a real godsend.
On the trailer, it’s an interesting story.
I bought it from an RV repair shop. In a conversation with the mechanic, I could reconstruct the history.
It seems, as I understand it, it was a guy Airstream of his father, who bought it, so new, so long ago. It was used for family outings and has been a great source of souvenirs for the fellow.
The problem with vintage Airstream is just that. They were born, and when you talk about the 50, 60 and 70 vintage colors equals damn unpleasant. I saw an old brochure for this one, it seems that the plant with orange curtains, green paisley upholstery was green shag carpet and to top it all the more popular against the lawyer.
The new guy wanted to keep and enjoy the Airstream, he spent his childhood, but he also saw the urgency to upgrade. Accordingly, he took into the store and ordered to start work. He had a whole list of things he wanted to wash
