Special Note: April 1, 2002 was the deadline for having all vertical
propane tanks less than 41 pounds converted to OPD valves.
Traveling for an extended period can be a challenge.
Especially if your entourage includes an Irish Wolfhound which will weigh over 130
pounds when grown.
Airstream has a long reputation for being a durable coach
for extended use. The 34' Excella is the longest trailer made by Airstream.
While the extra length provides the interior space needed for a growing
family, it does prohibit the use of some State and National Parks which
are not set up to accommodate large RV's. The trailer has triple
axles to support the weight of the large coach. The aircraft grade
aluminum shell is strong yet flexible, important when the road surface
changes from interstate highway to dirt road.
The following pages give information on Airstreams and
the modifications we made to accommodate our lifestyle.
