Be careful with the Airstreams though, while not a lot of the technology has changed, they are getting older. You will want one that has been taken care of, or restored properly. My wife really likes them, so I always have my eyes open for a nice Overlander (they have smaller windows on the top like the old 21 and 23 window VW's). There are ton's of websites on the Airstreams out there.
Since you want slide outs, and the ability to sleep 6, take into account that anything with a sofa, or table that you make into a bed, you have to unmake in the morning, if you want to use the table etc. I like the campers with a couple of bunk beds in them, they don't take up as much room, and you don't need to make / unmake them on a daily basis.
Also, look for one with fiberglass sides. Are you going to be camping when its cold out?
I know people with new campers, and other people with older Red Dale's, Mallard's, Layton's, etc., and whether you buy new or used, they will all require some work. Since you have an older 911, I am assuming you are like me, and will DIY all the work on the camper. Its not too tough at all.
I hear you on the back pack Sup, before we had kids, my wife and I were strictly back packers. Once we had our daughter 5 years ago, we had to make some adjustments, and I do say that having a cooler with some cold beer in it is very nice. I still get out in the boonies though. Over the 4th, we are going to use my little Garmin GPS and find a really remote back way to the North Platte River, as I have heard there is some good fly fishing in the remote areas of Southern Wyoming along it.
