Hello UK airstreamers !

We are new to this forum, but not new to Airstream; 5 years ago we bought our first Airstream a 1971 Overlander in a very good condition, only needed a good scrub and a polishjob...

Our pre-owner experience was made by visiting Perry and Coline for a summer holiday in one of their Airstreams, and we decided we had to have one for sure !

After that time, we went back 2 times because it is a terriffic place to spent your holidays, they are wonderfull people and good entertainers, and Perry knows a lot about Airstream-repairs (he is

doctor Airstream !)

Each year we drive a lot of miles as we take her out nearly every weekend, that's what they are made for !

This january we received our second Airstream, as we are infected with Aluminum fever in a severe form....

It's a 1963 safari in a restorable condition... this is what we are spending our weekends with until it's finished.....

A lot of spare parts are on their way to us, to restore the original condition.

Our tow-vehicle is a 1977 Ford F250 supercab.

At Perry's we met our beloved friends from the UK (Bempton) and we keep visiting them each year with Christmas ever since !

This summer our friend (Stu) turns 50 years, and he invited us to come over and celebrate his birthday with his friends and family.

So the ferry is allready booked ! we are coming over from 1st of august and leave on august the 14th.

Starting from 9th of august, they suggested to visit the Yorkshire Dales together with our other Dutch friends and their 31 foot Excella.

Our friends (Jane and Stu) own a safari from around the seventies.

We want to keep it a surprise that perhaps more of you UK airstreamers will be there....

Looking very much forward to meet with you all !

See you this summer,

Regards,

Kai and Pieter van Dooren
Will post some pictures with this thread.









Our Project

Shiny! (and not-so-shiny)

Welcome to the Forum. Hopefully, we'll see you in August!

Hi Pieter & Kai,

Pleased you have joined our forum and welcome.

Was going to email you tomorrow morning regarding your holiday in the Yorkshire Dales (see Just Chat - EU Airstreamers).
As you can see there was an immediate response and a few of us are keen to meet up.

One of our members (Berberman) has suggested his home town of Richmond (the gateway to the Dales) and he has a buddy who owns a campground just two miles out of town. Don't know whether you are booked in anywhere. Would you want us to arrange anything? August is a busy month.

Referring to your email to us and the narrow roads issue, our trailer is over 8' wide and we have no problems width wise, but sometimes long outfits can have difficulty on some campgrounds - narrow site roads and tight corners!!

Love your truck, in the past we have had a 1989 F250.

John & Carole

Groetjes, en welkom! Hopelijk dat we jullie in Augustus zullen ontmoeten!
