Thanks Chuck!  That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Yep.

I was also looking at late '50s Shastas - a lot cheaper and 
seriously cool (especially if they still have their wings, which 
most don't), but they're just not Airstreams.  I don't know if 
you're familiar with the book "Ready to Roll" by Gellner & Keister, 
but when I saw the '52 Cruisette on page 96, I said "That's my 
trailer!"  Short enough and light enough that I can tow it safely 
with my extended cab Ranger - I really do NOT want to buy a bigger 
tow vehicle, though I would certainly consider the 1950 Ford Country 
Squire "woody" pictured with the trailer if I found one at the right 
price!   My dad had a '54 that he was working on back in the 
late '50s/early '60s but times got hard and he ended up giving it 
away.  But I digress.

I'm in Virginia and the trailer's in Monterey, California but I'm 
definitely willing to spend the air fare (actually a minor expense 
since my daughter works for an airline) to go check it out and close 
the deal.

Thanks again!
