Airstream wannabe here

mardi 26 août 2014

Hello, I'm new here, as far as registering, but I have been a long time reader, since every google search about all things Airstream lead back to this site.



I don't own an Airstream, but I hope to remedy that someday soon.



I grew up next door to neighbors that owned one of those shining spaceships (my imagination as an eight year old). I marveled at all the places they would go and the pictures they shared with a wide-eyed kid that had yet to see the world.



I'm 55, and while retirement is around a decade away, my wife and I have started discussing what we will do when we are empty nesters. My oldest daughter is 18, a son in the middle at 16, and a youngest daughter at 15.



I was surprised to find out my wife of almost twenty years has been a fan of airstreams all her life. Guess I married the right one.



My family is no stranger to traveling. We've crossed the continent nine times, with three youngsters, two dogs, and camping in a Westfalia-converted VW Eurovan, every time taking a different way.



Anyway, I'm here to learn. Everything from TV (I'm a bit of an off-road enthusiast, but my Jeep can't tow anything), to new vs vintage. I'm a DIY kind of guy, but I have nowhere to put an AS while I renovate it, living in the city of Seattle.



My wife and I originally thought we buy one when we retire, but we have few adventures left with our kids, and really want to take advantage of our time left with them. The Northwest is enchanting, (I'm originally from SC, my wife is from Seaside, OR), but I've always been fascinated by deserts.



Way too many words for an introduction, so let me ask a question. I'm interested in the Eddie Bauer 27FB. Just how rough of a road can I take it on?
