I can surely understand your wanting to head south, I'm thinking of the same myself for this coming weekend storm.
These are considered to be three season rigs. Get an electric space heater and get hooked up, if you plan on sleeping in It on the way south, or you will freeze in there.

Be careful of the on board furnace , it needs to be working well or can lead to bad air inside the confines of a closed up trailer.

A good source of parts for vintage airstreams is Inland RV. In Corona Ca I think. This may be on your way to where the rig will be with your friend.

Good luck and have fun on your trip south. You only get one maiden voyage.

Your Tahoo seems well matched to the size of trailer it will be towing. Lots of threads about hitches and such on the airforums. The weight distributing hitch set ups seem to be the go to deal.
