Re: [A/S] mid fities airstream

[Roy Lashway <rlashway@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you want to stay in the same class as your '55 Chevy I suggest you 
look at the '55,'56',57 Airstream, 16ft Bubble models.  They weigh around 
2000 lbs and your Chevy should be able to be adapted to pull that much 
weight. You can look at my web site, 
www.zianet.com/rlashway and see my '56 which I completed this summer.  Of 
course the interior is not original  but haven't changed the outside much 
except the rear spare tire and of course vents for frig., air 
conditioner, and water heater.  Before you put on a hitch for your pop up 
better investigate size needed for a heavier trailer  you might 
ultimately acquire so you won't have to put on a new hitch system if you 
get your airstream.  Also you should investigate what other changes you 
might have to make on the auto to make it capable for towing.  Such as 
power of engine, transmission cooler, auxiliary 
radiator,alternator/generator capacity, rear suspension system,  and 
towing mirrors.
