Know a little more about Airstream Travel Trailers by Keggy Cass
The Airstream Travel Trailers of today are just as unique as the ever popular Airstream Travel Trailers of yesterday! The little silver bullets flowing down our freeways and back roads roll into camping sites all over America to still catch the eyes of the people along the way. This may have been invented in America, but they have reached traveling campers all over the world.
The inventor of this amazing trailer was a young man from a little town called Baker, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest corner of America. As a young boy, Wally Byam would travel often with his Grandfather who led a mule train. During these many mule train escapades, outdoor living and travels became a way of life for Wally Byam and he took in all, he could on these adventures. Wally went on to graduate with a law degree in 1923, but never practiced law. Instead he began working in a handful of other professions, along with publishing. Due to a wrongly written article on a camping trailer model, done by a writer under him, Wally corrected the article mistakes and started to build his own camper model plans.
With better articulations, done on the trailer model plans by Wally over a period of time, it was not long until these trailers were invented in 1934 and named Airstream for the reason of moving down the road like a stream of air.
In 1936, the Airstream Trailer Company came out with the Clipper model that really began the Airstream's familiar looks and original camping travel trailer comfort's. The Clipper was the original one of the riveted aluminum body and could sleep four, because of a tubular steel-framed dinette that could convert into a bed. There was advanced insulation and ventilation system, a type of air conditioning using dry ice, electricity throughout and its own built in water supply.
In 1979, the ever popular Airstream Travel Trailer expanded into the motor home industry, very similar to the original Airstream Travel Trailer, there was still the riveted aluminum construction, but with improved aerodynamics. In 1989, there was the introduction of laminated fiberglass construction, patent front and rear end caps. Today, the original model of trailers still roll down the roads along side the newer versions of the best selling Airstream motor homes still being created on the current market demand.

RV Storage
RV Storage
by Self Storage
Bought a new RV? But you do not know how to drive it yet? And you need to get it to your RV storage? Hire a driver.
Just kidding. Considering you just took on an enormous financial burden, you better learn how to drive it before you try to maneuver it to RV storage for the winter. Whether you call it an RV, motorhome, or a behemoth bedroom suite on wheels, driving it is not like staying at a holiday inn. It takes time and practice to overcome the huge size on the same roads you are familiar with. Now lets talk about how to drive that thing and get it to RV storage.
Envision yourself sitting behind the wheel of a skyscraper. That is how it feels at first. If you are not afraid then maybe you should not be driving. There are plenty of nuts on the road already. We do not need one driving something that can crush a two door sedan like a tin can. RV storage is not far away, but one can do a lot of property damage on the way. Remember what it was like driving a car for the first time. That two door sedan seemed big at the time. But you got use to it. Didn’t you? Just the same you will get use to driving the RV. If you make a few mistakes like running over a curb during your training period, do not let that get to you. Everyone does it. Even the veterans when they are sober.
If you know how to drive a car, you will know how to drive a RV. If you do not know how to drive a car, you will not be able to drive a RV, at least successfully. In other words, driving an RV is like driving a really big car. All of the same road rules apply to RVs as they do to cars. The difference is that a car can go more places then a RV. For example, a car can park in RV storage but an RV cannot park in car storage. And there are other factors like turning, braking, changing lanes, and backing up.
Sure you know from experience watching truck drivers that turning a RV requires more space. If not, then have you ever seen the sign on the back of all tracker trailers that warns this vehicle makes wide turns? The same maneuver goes for RVs. Remember not to cut corners and go in wide. For novices it is best to plan the straightest route to RV storage if you are not ready take turns.
RVs are about 1 million pounds heavier than a car, give or take a few pounds. So stopping will take more time. Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. So if you have to hit the brakes you will not crush that two door sedan like a tin can.
If you are on your way to RV storage there is the possibility that you will have to switch lanes. Give yourself time and look for a huge opening.
It gets trickier. At the RV storage you will have to back it up into the parking space. Practice this trick in a spacious empty parking lot. If you are not comfortable by the time you get to RV storage, have a buddy or a property manager direct you into your RV storage space.
