We welcomed in 2011, heads bursting with information but no truck and no Airstream. Weather had caused delays for both. The Airstream arrived first in mid January. (Figures.) We arranged to have Solar panels and gel batteries installed before pick up. That bought us a week. The Truck arrived at the end of January. We were finally ready to pick up and hook up!
So on a rainy Saturday morning at the end of January we headed down to Los Banos for the "ultimate hook up." The folks at Toscano showed us all the features and instructed us how everything works. They installed the Reese Hitch and back up camera.
Our first night spent in our Airstream was in the parking lot of Toscano RV. It was still raining. After sunset, we opened the rear awning, and set up our two snazzy Zip-Dee-Airstream lawn chairs. We shot a champagne cork over the cyclone fence into the adjacent vacant lot, filled two crystal flutes and toasted to our new life.
We all have those moments in our lives where everything is right in the world. Well, sitting behind OUR beautiful new Airstream Classic, sipping Champagne, listening to the rain on the awning and watching the lights of the cars on Highway 152 beyond the vacant lot through a cyclone fence was one of those moments. Who’d a thunk?
Yeah, nice rig, looks like the shit Robocop took after eating an ED209.
