I understand that.I think of all the hard work that
goes into any project only to be undervalued by those
that follow on. I have done that with houses,
scooters, cars and trailers. Now I am doing it with
the Airstream. Knowing that I can never recover the
value of the labor (labor of love) and parts/materials
I think of a couple of options that I want to consider
for the future. We all come to that day. One would be
to find someone that has always admired it and give it
to them(family, friend, or other)and watch them smile.
The other would to make it into a family
cabin/hide-away. Knowing that keeping the wheels
turning and the shiny side up is the ideal, but just
keeping it alive is a suitable alternative.
best wishes with your trailer. I hope the resolution
that you come to leaves you with a sweet taste, not a
bitter memory.
