[A/S] Call for Help in Houston



I traveled to Houston on I-10 through Louisiana last week and my 1987 
Airstream is not the same as it was when I started the trip.  I had heard 
about that stretch of road on this list, but thought folks were just 
exaggerating. (This was my first trip in this Airstream I had bought in 
November.) Well, part of my wheel wells are missing.  Seems like they were 
rusted.  Here I thought everything was aluminum  on an Airstream. With the 
wheel well covers missing, water, dirt, and varmints can cause a whoe lot 
more problems.  In addition, there is a square panlike structure underneath 
the midsection of my trailer that seems to have dropped a couple of inches on 
one side.  Dont know if this is normal, but I suspect not. Some of the rivets 
forward of the panlike structure have pulled through the aluminum.
I am 1800 miles from home and just not sure where to turn.  Any suggestions 
would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Jack
