Ownership History: My grandparents were Airstream owners starting back in the 1970’s. As they would upgrade, my parents would get their old one. When my wife and I were ready, my parents gave us this one as they upgraded to my grandparents final Airstream. I gave it to my sister about 10 years later and she gave it back to us a few years ago.

Why did you select this model?: It was a gift as my parents and grandparents upgraded theirs.

Why are you selling?: We had four children and then a few years ago adopted three more. We needed a bunkhouse for the entire family. We love this airstream but it is no longer fitting our family needs.
