Karin, Joshua, Jeremiah, and I have just joined the VAC. We are the proud
owners of a 1947 Airstream, 19' long. We pull it with a 1960 Chevrolet
Suburban Caryall. Both need major cleaning; but are fully functional.
We presently live in Central City, Colorado and are planning a move to
Wheaton, Mo. where we'll have better facilities to restore these two
vehicles.
Joshua is three and a half, and Jeremiah is two and a half. Karen and I are
late bloomers, expert skiers, and backpackers, moderate hunters and poor
fishers. We all love the outdoors. With gas prices the way they are we may
have to go back to the tent and Honda.
Have rebuilt the suspension system. Stayed as true to the original design as
possible. Replaced the light aluminum cross members with 3/8' aluminum
chanel. Retained the original longitudinal tube and cross members to which
we screwed a 3/4" marine plywood toung and grove floor. It has a propane
tank mounted just to the front of the body, on the main lodgitudidnal frame
member just to the rear of the hitch. The interior has bunk beds on either
side in the rear, a plywood deviding panel between the sleeping area and the
front section, a closed next to the entry door with a stainless
steel/aluminum cabinet housing a propane stove/oven, sink with pump, and
icebox. The front has a table with seats on both sides. The table legs fold
up and the table can rest between the seats to make a double bed. It has
electric breaks on it's single axel two wheels. We are most curious about
the trailer's original design and layout?
Joe, Karen,
