Anyone got an Airstream?

[james79]

I am thinking about buying an American Airstream. Has anyone here got one? What can you tell me about them, any pitfalls? Thank you

Gosh they're expensive.

I guess no more so than a camper or caravan.
I wonder what they're like to tow.

Beautiful though.
No help, sorry!

I know cranky, they really are sooo expensive. But yes you can pay the same for campers/caravans. Maybe someone will come and enlighten us...!

There's a place near us that sells them, I drool every time I drive past. I looked up thier website about a year ago, think it had quite a lot of info regarding pitfalls of insurance etc.

airstream.

Think there is somewhere on the Isle of Wight where you can go and stay in them as statics.

Thanks MrsDinky, i've seen this site, thank you, how about this one then How cool are they???
The more research i've done the more I get...they really are crazy expensive!
Yes I've also seen the statics on IofW, they look fab! Thanks so much.

They're fabulous aren't they? I drive past about once a week, there they all are glinting in the sun. Last year I got made redundant with some colleagues and we indulged in an afternoon of dreaming about what we could spend our money if we hadn't needed it to live on, that's when I looked the Airstreams up. Suffice it to say redundancy money was nowhere near enough, then there's the insurance, somewhere safe to keep it, . Good luck with your dream!
