Would you be willing to make a copy and send it to me?

I put Christmas lights on my trailer this year and had no problem. I bought
suction cup hooks and it worked out great. It got a lot of attention and put
smiles on a lot of faces.

The picture in the Airstream book by Burkhart and Hunt
on page 61 is from a 2 part artical that was in

It is the exact same picture but no plans are given.

Dick,
you have misinterpreted my comments. The 'younger' Airstreamers aren't
interested in creating an "elete clique", they want an organization that helps
them understand the history, engineering, how to repair, etc their new/old
trailers. My point was that the WBCCI has focused so much on

about 35 miles west of Trinidad. There seemed to be quite a few spaces
there. I could find out more if there is interest. Phil

I just purchased my '62 Overlander this month. There doesn't seem to be very
many '62 overlanders out there.Yes, I do need 2 original "moon" hub caps
( plus other parts) . I have 2 of 4.
If you should run across any pictures, literature, documents, and parts,
let me know and I will do
Thanks Don, did you replace the omni(?) with the inverter? I like the
wiring route you took. Do you use the propane function on your fridge? I'm
a little paranoid about hydrogen gas from overcharging the batteries then
transferring the flammable gas to the area behind the fridge, then again

I am sure the Bambi fitted the way you
suggest would sell, but I very much doubt if its price would be anywhere near
the 20-25k area. The problem is that to build quality as Airstream requires,
makes the labor costs so high that I would be surprised if Airstream could build
a Bambi for 20
A week ago, a good friend, and camping buddy, went to a movie complex in New
York City. Out in front was an old Airstream. He approached the owner, only
because the Airstream looked like mine, and my friend wanted to ask him about
it.
The owner told him it was a 1968. It was painted gold, and

There is a mention of such a trailer in the book entitled "Airstream
- The History of the Land Yacht". Page 31 (last part of paragraph):
McCall's magazine went so far as to spend $12,000 on a thirty-two-seat
movie theater that traveled the country as a literal "promotional trailer".

The new Bambi 16 is under 20k. There were 2 at the
local Airstream place and they were sold before they
got on the lot. NOW if Airstream were to build a
trailer to the standards of the pre-1967 trailers, not
only would my jaw drop, but my income after trailer
payments wouldn't pay my rent. But

No one, especially me, ever accused them of that. I did say that an
unforgivable sin was forming exclusive cliques in a WBCCI club;
Great find Toby.
That's the trailer Dr. Holman built from plans. Too
bad we can't still order them, or can we. Do you think
that P.M. would still have a copy on file somewhere?
What year and month is that out of?

I have been keeping track (sort of ) of how many have expressed interest in

I converted a set of 120 volt Christmas
lights to run on 12 volts. The bulbs took about 4 volts each, so I had to
wire three of them in series all the way down the string of 35 lights
(clipped the last two off).

Could you not use a low cost inverter to run your 110 lights and
