Hi Brad,
One caution about buying a pre 1974 Airstream. They do not have a grey waste
water tank.
That means many campgrounds are off limits unless you get a full hook up site
or carry a plastic tank to dump the grey into.
Airstreams after 1974 have grey tanks added... but another caution. The first
few years of grey tanks on *rear* bathrooms models caused some of the trailer
to have "tail sag" because the frames weren't capable of handling the extra
weight.
As cool as vintage trailers are, there is a degree of aggravation not having
the grey tank.
Good luck,
Hunter
