to the playground Debbie and Jess. Did you find the Midwest Forum to list your gathering? Beautiful Airstream. I have always wanted one but just never committed the money. Now I have my big tear and love it.

Look at the Hall of fame. There are lots that have build pictures included if you click on them.

Enjoy

Thanks, everyone.....Miriam, thank you for the complement. We joined the midwest vintage club over the winter. This will be our first rally with them.....Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana folks. I have looked around your forum here and I just love these little trailers ......now I want one even more .

Jesandeb,
I love your Trailer. Would you post some pics of the inside.
I bet its wonderful. There is one in our town in an old lumber yard that has been closed for 15 years, the fence fell down and it can be seen from the road now. We have been drooling over it for the past year.Lol.
Just love them,
Bill and Marijo

Well thank you very much .....The last time we went out, I took pics of the inside but the camera quit working and I lost all the pics at that time. Will get some new ones the next camping trip out and put them on. It's all original but refurbished with new carpet, curtains, and upholstery.....oh, and pretties. Has the rear bath, center double bed partitioned off from the kitchen that has the front dinette. I even put my little picket fence infront of the hitch when we go out . We were lucky .....a friend of ours was very old and really liked my hubby.....he would always ask us when we were going to take the trailer every time we would visit.....this went on for years....I always told my hubby "No, it's silver" ......the last time about 11 years ago, it was soon hooked up to our truck.......she died shortly after that, and he lived another 2 years at 90 years old. I think they knew it was their time. Funny, but the same thing just happened to our oldest daughter .....an older woman had just lost her husband and the woman likes my daughter and her family, and they bought her 1978 31 ft. Airstream "Soverign" for a song and dance. I think she feels it's part of her roots to have one like ole Mom and Dad. Do you know what model and year of the lumber yard trailer?

[BillandMarijo]

Jesandeb,
No we dont know the year or model. There is no tresspassing signs all around the place. No way of even finding out who owns the place. Just teasing us cause we drive by it almost daily. Looks in pretty good shape from the road. We live in Altoona Pa and the Vintage Trailer thing hasnt caught on here. Tiny Trailers abandoned in alleys, back yards. I think actually we may be the only Teardrop owner in Altoona. I cant imagine why it hasnt caught on.
But we love the old Tiny Trailers. Airstreams are top of the line to us.
Just love em. Cant wait for the inside photos.

Maybe Ill try to sneak a picture w/ my digital camera.
