Re: [A/S] WBCCI Numbers



Hi Jack

I hope I am not getting myself in trouble here. 

Since I always use a different unit I have the numbers on a couple of 
pieces of aluminum that I stick to the frame of the solar grey wrap 
window with 2 sided tape.  On the rear I just stick it to the glass.  
This way I can remove them easily an not leave any marks on the 
Airstream.  

On the lot here you here all kinds of comments from prospective 
owners as what the numbers must mean.  The most common comment is "I 
guess those ones out back are rentals".  One original theory years 
ago was "thats how much they owe on it".  We have had people call to 
order parts that thought it was the serial number etc.  I think it is 
kind of fun but lately we have been having more opposition to the 
numbers on the front of the trailers from prospective members.  

In my theory we would rather have them as members than loose them 
over number placement. What we have been doing for many of them is 
placing 4" numbers on the upper right corner 3 piece solar grey wrap 
or on the glass if the wrap is not present. On the rear we have been 
putting them in the upper right corner of the window.  Some once they 
have been involved with the club for a while have decided to put the 
large numbers on.

It maybe worthwhile for the club to consider an alternative number 
system for those that object so that the alternative would be 
standardized.
