Re: [A/S] Airstream service in N. Florida?

Fred,
   We're going to chime right in here along with the others about Walt's 
RV. We went there in April 2000 on our way out of FL heading back to the 
Northeast.  We had three things done  and we spent about 4 nights at 
Walt's before, during, and after.
1.  Preventive maint. on our rear end, he he, and have elephant ears 
installed to help avoid the prevalent rear sag on the rear end of 
Airstreams of that era and model(see below for detail).  We just love 
how they handled that project.  They don't do the traditional elephant 
ears fix.  Tom, b-in-law worker with Walt, did the rear frame 
strengthening without making holes in the skin of our A/S. Thus, the A/S 
 doesn't have the ear mark, pun pun, of elephant ears. ^G^  We were 
quite pleased.  If anyone wants to know how this is managed, ask us...

2.  Shocks installed, re-packed bearings. Tom used the A/S brand and he 
 told us there was no better shock than the A/S brand. 

3.  And the BIG expense was going the way of the Hensley Arrow hitch.


Notes on 1:  Rear end sag and frame braking will quite possibly develop 
in Rear Bath,  lengthy models in the era of late 60's to mid 70's A/S - 
someone pls. correct me if I am way off on the period. This is due to 
the inferiority of the frame used in that era, aka known as the Beatrice 
years.
