Scott said it so well!  Please don't put it in a nursing home (that is 
what you would be doing if  you put your wonderful trailer in a 
permanant place).  I know where you plan to put it is beautiful but so 
are many nursing homes.  Take it on the road and enjoy it.  Think of all 
the neat people you will meet just stopping as you go on a trip. I never 
stop at a rest area,  service station, restaurant or even a Wal-Mart 
that I don't have oh's and ah's for my fun Bambi.  I'm even risking it 
to take the 6000 mile caravan from McAllen Texas to Panama this winter. 
 Remember, no matter how young you are now you will eventually wrinkle 
with age and experience and joy.  Let your trailer do the same.

Insurance people tell me that 95% of Airstream accidents are from BAD 
driving. Speed and turning too quickly are the biggest culprits.  I have 
been towing a trailer of some size for over twentyfive years and even 
with an occasional blowout  I have never lost control.. Remember to take 
the wind, passing trucks, terrain, traffic and weather into 
consideration.  That doesn't mean you need to go 40 all the times but it 
maybe necessary once in a while.  Always reduce your speed in the wind. 
Remember that when you start to fishtail, lightly use the hand control 
for the trailer brakes but do not apply the towing vehicle brakes first. 
 I've been to a lot of seminars about this.

Go enjoy your trailer and the fellowship it brings.  If we all left our 
trailers home there would be nothing to see at a rally.
