Fugly the word is Fugly

But that is not an Airstream it's a massacre
I didn't hurt it's feelings the creature that butchered it did that all by itself
Airstreams are a classic design and deserve better owners that that poor thing

Moira and I stayed in a big one on a static trailer park on the west coast of California in the early '80's. It had an old fashioned slipper bath and the bed was made of 4x2 inch pieces of wood.The bed was about 4ft off the floor! All very oldfashioned in it's fittings but still quite shiny. It must have weighed tons and been difficult to tow.

Very American way of putting things together. Interesting that the body appears to be a monocoque with integral aluminium framing rather than bolting everything onto a steel frame. I wonder how much less weight an Eriba would be with an aluminium skeleton rather than steel. Ok not as potentially strong, but would still be stiff, and if an Eriba was damaged to the extent that you were relying on its strength not to fall apart it would be written off anyway.. Maybe metal fatigue would come into play on an aluminium skeleton?
