About 3 weeks back Hunter mentioned an ad she had seen in the Knoxville 
newspaper listing two Airstreams for sale.  Well, I can report that one of 
those two is now sold - to me!  After reading the ad I called Charlie Bell in 
Knoxville and from his description of the 25' trailer and its condition I 
realized I was serious about this one.  Susan and I spent four days (last 
Thursday through Sunday) traveling from Lincoln, Nebraska to Knoxville and 
back with about one hour in between to see the trailer and close the deal.  
1900 miles round trip.  Now all I need is a tow vehicle!  Charlie has agreed 
to let it sit for a couple of months until I can return.  Thanks to Hunter 
for taking the trouble to pass the information along.  

By the way, people at work just shake their heads when they find out we spent 
four days traveling to buy a trailer!  Not too many would understand but I'm 
sure some of you do.  

Charlie will be towing the trailer to the local Airstream dealer in the 
coming weeks where I will ask the dealer to check out it's road-readiness 
before I arrive.  Tires are good so I will have the brakes, LP system and 
general suspension checked.  I'm thinking about having the wheels and hubs 
and drum assemblies balanced as well.  (read about this on another bulletin 
board.)  Any other suggestions on what to have looked at before I pick this 
up?  I'm a novice to this trailer business.
