Just a quick post to say that our 1973 Airstream Overlander trailer is finally home after spending 5 months at Airstream of Spokane. We were going to go get it last Tuesday, but with snow forecast for both here and Spokane, we postponed to Friday. Forecast was accurate, by the way, although the snow didn’t last.
So Friday we got up at 4:30 am, were out the door by 6:15 and had an easy, although occasionally foggy, drive to Spokane. We had a walk-through with the folks there, and found out some things that we will need to do in the spring – like seal the seams and around the windows. We got the products we will need to do that. We had an Equalizer hitch installed on the trailer and truck, too.
Had lunch with our friend Austin who is now living in Spokane, then headed off for home around 2 pm. Rick was very pleased with how easy it was to tow. The drive home was beautiful with clear skies and late afternoon sunset colors.
A friend came up with the name “The Lone Riveter”, which we find amusing even if we don’t always use it – we tend to be pretty pedestrian when it comes to naming vehicles. But here she is back home:
The Lone Riveter… and Tundra!
This is as far as we could get it into the carport. 24-ft carport, 27-ft trailer including bumper and tongue. But it is pretty well under cover for the coming winter:
Note the spiffy new “sunglasses”. This is a rock-guard to protect the front windows when towing, as they would be very expensive to replace. But when we are camped and it is lifted up, it will act as a sunshade or awning for the front windows, too.
