 Hello!  And congratulations! We have the 2000 19' Bambi...good
choice. Probably has one of the highest re-sale values of all the
Airstreams.  We (Earl) decided to buy a sway bar as soon as possible.
Didn't come with one...Earl would strongly recommend having it.  They
are a great size. Not too big, not too small.  ENJOY!
