Thanks again, Aerohead.

Numbers do go a long way towards explanation. It's difficult to explain to others that a premium aero trailer pays for itself in longer life, reduced operating cost, and all around safety when underway. It ain't just fuel mileage, nice as that is.

And a ten year old Airstream isn't old. A conventional TT is ready for the scrapyard at that point ( get out the moisture meter. Those numbers don't lie, either). One needn't spend a fortune in acquisition, nor in operation when an ordinary car can be spec'd to be a good daily driver and tow vehicle. The current assumption is that a pickup is the default choice. And it needn't be.
