An axle mod, much less complete swap, is a job that I wouldn't even DREAM of
doing. There's too much at stake going on back there.
I have always been under the assumption that one buys a nice Airstream
because they like the finer, more well-built things in life - things that
can last. I my case, if I were ever lucky enough to own an AS, I would
ensure that any serious work was done by an AS-experienced technician.

Nice site. Some day soon I hope to visit a dealership. Sadly, I am pretty
sure that there isn't one near, much less in, the Omaha area.
