Re: [a/s] To tow a vintage Airstream
You came to the right place... and at the right time (before you buy) to ask
your questions. Unfortunately, we did our purchasing backwards. My hsb
wanted a SUV and we really liked the Nissen Xterra so we bought one. Then he
mentioned that he would like to have a travel trailer when he retires,
preferably an Airstream. Then I discovered A/S was making the 19' Bambi
again (3600' dry weight) and found a used '98 in mint condition. So now
we've towed the Bambi with the SUV about 600 miles with no problem except the
amt of gas it uses on an upgrade. (glug, glug).
I found this mailing list after we had the Suv/Bambi combo. I REALLY enjoy
this group but in some ways wish I had never found it. All the posts about
towing with long-wheel base etc. vehicles have filled me with doubts about
our 'package'. We're not about to get rid of the Xterra so it would have to
be the A/S that went if we find out our towing situation doesn't work out.
Then we would be back to getting a (very) little Casita which we were going
to buy before we found the Bambi.
Good luck! -Norma
