Airstream of Arkansas

Searcy, Arkansas- I’m happy to report that our first day on the road was incident free. By the time we arrived at our stopping point, however, it was well after midnight.

We camped on the lot of Airstream of Arkansas– one of the fastest up-and-coming Airstream dealerships in the United States. After hooking up our trailer to city water, power, and dumping its tanks (more on this not-entirely-pleasant job in a future blog entry), I savored a beer. It is a well documented fact that beer tastes 67.3% better after a long day of driving. Then I took an “RV shower” and got some sleep.

On Tuesday we met Gene Morris, the sales manager. Gene is a regular on airforums.com, and he’s always on hand to answer questions. He finds a lot of business via the Internet – or rather, the business finds Gene. People drive to Searcy from all over the United States, and return home towing their Airstream. Other people opt for the turnkey home delivery service – buy from afar, and the Airstream comes to you. Now that would be an Internet transaction to remember!

We really enjoyed the hospitality of Airstream of Arkansas. If I were shopping for a new trailer, I’d have Gene on speed dial.
