I bought another Airstream but this time, it’s a motor home. They only made them from the late ‘70s until 1991 and they were expensive, so they are kind of rare. Awesome workmanship and build quality and like the trailers, aerodynamic w no square edges to speak of.
I know the at least one other Pelican already has one, (Tevake), His is a larger one and mine is a 28’, which has the advantage of being able to be legally parked on the street in most parts of L.A. as well as many other cities. One of my close friends in L.A. has one as well, his is a 24’.
It’s really dirty and covered in moss from sitting in a driveway in MN. for the last several years but spent most of its life in inland CA. and is consequently very clean underneath. I wasn’t going to post photos before getting it cleaned up but I couldn’t wait. I’m giddy over this thing, have always wanted one.
Oh yeah, it’s also a factory turbo diesel, (Isuzu straight-6), the only one I’ve ever seen or heard of. Gets great mpg for an RV and the rest of the chassis from the GM transmission back is a Chevy P-30, so maintenance parts are a snap. It needs brake work and all of the parts are available at NAPA and every other FLAPS.
More pics to follow when I get it clean.
