Are Airstreams low maintenance?
As far as the exterior is concerned, Airstream is supposed to be low maintenance. I'm wondering what maintenance is required and how often. And can it be done by the owner and what is the cost factor?

Yes and no. Like any surface, aluminum requires some care and feeding. If done right, you'll have many years of service, perhaps longer than you'll live to enjoy. If not done right (or if not done at all), you'll have yourself a nice, expensive nightmare.

Actually, the airstream aluminium is clear coated and requires no maintenance except routine washing with a clear coat safe automotive wash. It never needs polishing or other care. No typical black streaks. Sure all appliances are RV and will require some maintenance.
