Jim,
I have been thinking about a reply to your first post on selling your
trailer. You are making the same choice which we all will have to make
some day. We all hope that it will be after many years of Airstream
ownership and many safe miles of travels. My parents stopped towing
after an accident in which three people were killed. Their trailer lost
the brake connection from the controller on a long down hill and started
swaying. They lost control, totaled the car and damaged the trailer.
At 73, my dad said enough was enough.
Jim, you might consider taking the Silver Albatross to Sarasota next
year and see what action you get.
Good luck to you.
