Ok... We have been reading the postings for a year and are starting to look around. I spotted the following Airstream. So what does the group think ? It a 26 footer enough ? In the case of the one for sale in the link below, what is good and what is bad ? Is the price reasonable ? http://trailermama.com/2100/2100.htm I look forward to your comments. For context I have included our original e-mail to the list. Thanks, James & Sondra. -----Original Message----- From: James Douglas Sent: Sunday, May 07, 2000 8:12 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Introducing James & Sondra and our Fantasy...J&S2015 Hello all, My partner Sondra and I are a couple who live in San Francisco and are thinking of buying an Airstream. We live and rent in an area of SF that has housing costs in the stratosphere. We make good money, but spending 750K for a fixer-upper is not our idea of a good time. As long as rent control is in affect we have a good gig. All good things do come to an end. With that reality in mind we are looking toward our future and a chance to get off the corporate tread mill at some point. We are considering spending the next 5 or so years putting together the Airstream of our dreams with the tow vehicle of our dreams. At some point 15 years hence, we retire, are drive off into the sunset. What I would ask of this group, is to help educate us on Airstreams. I figure 1 year to educate us and choose a model. 1 year to look for and find a core Airstream. 5 years to fully take the Airstream apart and built it back together to our specifications. 3 years to customize and restore our proposed tow vehicle. 5 years to driving it around on weekends and vacations to get used to it. Then, sell everything we own and off into the sunset of our lives. I was a serious high school motorhead and have done serious restorations on many different kinds of cars. So at a technical level, I am very advanced. I would ask that anyone sending any comments or replies use the following in the subject "J&S2015". That way, I can trap on it and keep the replies in a separate folder. Thank you all in advance and we look forward to including you in our adventure.
