We have enjoyed owning this very unique Airstream.since we purchased it in 2014 from Colonial RV in Lakewood New Jersey. We intended to take many more trips in this easily transportable and maneuverable travel travel trailer.

Reality has set in, in the form of a chronic medical problem which makes traveling difficult so unfortunately for us, no trip up the coast of California this fall.

This 16 -foot Bambi Quiksilver was produced in 2006 to celebrate Airstream’s 75th anniversary. There were only 100 made. It has a surfer theme throughout, very tastefully designed, as only Airstream could do.

WARNING; it does attract a lot of attention!

When we purchased it we were looking at buying “new” but when we found ourselves in this Quiksilver we were overcome by its personality. The sense of character we felt when we entered it was overwhelming as compared to the new models at the time designed in the typical muted shades of leather/cabinetry,

The Quiksilver still retains its original appeal and feeling of a special charm. Upon entrance, everyone smiles.

We upgraded the Quiksilver with work done by Colin Hyde Restorations in Plattsburgh New York which included (receipts and documentations available):

Upgraded axel to 5000 lbs.
Installed a new catalytic heater
Added an extra battery
Installed 2 100 watt flexible solar panels on roof withcontroller

It has a couple minor dings but is in great shape for its age. We had it checked out in June of this year by Oasis RV in Tucson to get ready for our no longer planned fall trip. This service included:

Installing two new GG6DCD group 27 Marine Master batteries
Installing Gabriel shock absorber
Repacking wheels
Inspecting brake system, replace backing plates, bearings and drums

Realistically we know that these units need to be used more than as a place to escape to on a nice day or a setting for having coffee with a friend. We are looking forward r]to passing it forward to its new owner.
