Jerry,
I do not know if the quality is the same with the vintage Airstreams vs new
Airstreams. Suffice it to say that the new ones are MUCH more complicated.
There is a lot more that can break or wear out, BUT everything is new, not
25+ years old, and usually more convenient. That said, I have a 1960
Overlander that has passed through my family. It has been well maintained
and I don't ever see me parting with it. I used it for 2 1/2 months this
summer traveling about 8000 miles. Nothing of consequence needed repaired in
that time, but this spring I did spend about $1500 on a new furnace and hot
water heater! I am of the opinion that size of the trailer has little to do
with how much it costs to maintain it. The major costs are appliances.

the newer units as well made as the older trailers?
Is the cost of having a vintage trailer, even a
smaller one, prohibitive? ...
