Dear Victor,
        I also own a 66 Safari.  It is a relatively light unit and will not require a "monster puller".  I recommend a simple approach like a one way rental of a truck or van from Uhaul or Ryder.  They have units equipped with tow packages.  The only problem may be to have 3 wires switched on the 7 pin connector to conform the old Airstream standard to modern pin configurations.

By using such a major company you can avoid the need for return to Texas of the vehicle and carry all your personal effects in the pulling truck.  That allows you to really baton down the Airstream in preparation for it's cross country/ocean trip.  Overseas carriers demand an empty trailer (no personal effects) to comply with vehicle tranport tariffs.

Before leaving Texas have a good mechanic check and service the bearings and brakes on the trailer.
Aloha,
Bob

Since a year now I am the happy owner of an Airstream Safari  from 1966. The problem is that I am living in the Netherlands and that the Airstream is near El Paso, Texas. This summer  -in August-  I want to change this rediculous situation. For my wife, my two daughters and myself it is the once in a lifetime opportunity to travel through the United States with our Airstream trailer! So we want to tour from Texas to New York. >From here the Airstream has to be shipped to Europe.

Our question is if there is somewhere an Airstream fanatic that could give us some help. With good advice but especially with finding a towingcar for that period. Like if there is a towingcar that has to be transported from Texas to New York at about the same time.

Of course at the time me and my family will be in the United States, our apartment in an old watertower on the river Meuse could be used in exchange.

greeting from Holland,
Victor Mani
