Re: [A/S] Boondocking in an Airstream

We like sleeping together too, and don't want to be in twin beds.  Is 
the pullout double comfortable?  It seems most RV mattresses I've been 
on were lumpy or hard.  Would the pullout double
accomodate a futon mattress?

This is important to us too.  I know of a few nice hot springs too that 
have small campgrounds, and it's always nice to have a nice, long, hot 
soak after bumming around in the dust for any period of
time.  I have a full size truck, a Dodge 1500 club cab/short bed with 4 
wheel drive.  It only has the 5.2L engine though, so pulling a loaded 
31' trailer up steep, sloppy, slopes (wow, say that one
three times fast), may get a bit uncomfortable.

Very good points, and something we both desire in a trailer.  So far 
then, it seems like a 1974 (we want a grey water tank) or newer 
Tradewind or Overlander is going to be our best bet.  What about
the rear bath in the 25'-27' trailers?  Do they suffer from the same sag 
problem that the larger A/S's do?

It does, thank you!
