Ok, still declining to admit anything but ignorance on travel
trailers: But, I am having a hard time believing that an Airstream Bambi
weighs any 3,000 pounds. It's 16' bumper to hitch, single axle with 13"
wheels, body can't be much longer than 12' if that and the body is made out
of aluminum. Where in the heck do they get 3,000 pounds? This is not the
big normal Airstream. It's tiny and short.

Yeah but at 3K lbs you'll be changing engines every other trip. I like airstreams, don't get me wrong, but Eriba's
are nice... ;-)
But you can always find one of these..
