Jon,
My sentiments exactly. Plus -
1 - When we are in an area heavy with RVers, it's predictable that at least one of
them will see our
decals and begin the conversation with "we used to have an Airstream and ....."
2 - If you are part of a caravan, the decal on both the tow vehicle and trailer make
it easy to spot
fellow caravaners while traveling. If, by chance, we meet up with an Airstreamer who
is not part of
the caravan, that gives us a chance to talk up vintage and perhaps recruit a friend.
3 - Part of the game plan in life is to enjoy camaraderie with a wide variety of
people. If the
vintage decal helps promote that, so much the better.
4 - Anyone who would like vintage decals should contact Don Perry, President of VAC.
He has a
briefcase full of them. There's a fee ($2 or $3 each ??) plus postage, so send him
real money if
you're serious. Actually, it's probably better to email him first and be sure he still
has a supply
left. They tend to be snapped up quickly when the word gets around at rallies.
