raztec...did you go with Palamino again?
We just traded our 10 yr old Adventurer...it was still like new...we just wanted a slide for more room.

Our AirStream is 25 yrs old this year. Same thing...a very well built, solid unit. We did have to replace a fridge a few years ago, and I will do the water pump this year...but overall..very few problems. We expect to pass the AS down to our Son some day.
