house to make trailering more enjoyable, there is now a Wally Bya.ro
Store at both Airstream factories, and authorized dealers throughout
the United States, stocking hundreds of items tested and approved
by travel experts. There are ‘wheel-lock’ stabilizing jacks, axle skids,
flare kits and fire-extinguishers, cleaning and lubricating specialties
for easy maintenance, many labor saving utensils for the galley, a
wealth of books and games to make rallies more fun; even a fold-
away bicycle and a newspaper-fuelled charcoal grill! Why not check
our lists and order, — or come to visit us, — we are here to serve you.
