    WBCCI Number History

    Hello fellow members -

    the wife and just joined and received our official numbers: 1601.

    like most, we are curious as to when these numbers were first issued, to who, and maybe who has had then over the years.

    i called HQ to see if they kept a database but they don't - too bad really.

    do any of you folks othyer there know of some way to find out?

    thanks in advance

    Also, Welcome to the forum and welcome to WBCCI. I'm sure you will have a lot of great adventures with your Airstream. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. There is someone here on the forum that has probably been there, done that.

    Pictures are also welcome so don't hesitate to post some of you trailer.

    My book goes back to 1961 - at that time 1601 was issued to Wesley and Rachel Dyer - Indianapolis In. They were on the Europe summer 1960 and Western Canada summer 1960 caravans.

    Ken J,

    thanks for the info.

    i find it interesting to know the history of the WBCCI numbers - as well as the history of the individual AS's.

    Many AS's have had several, if not multiple, owners, and the numbers are re-issued as well.

    Too bad there isn't some sort of database for all this.

    thanks again,

    az-streamer

    Hey Az-streamer....

    A bit off topic, but I have heard a number of issues with the 22 footer in regard to frame issues. I believe Airstream has a frame kit available for the 22 footers. I would make sure that your unit has the kit installed as it was designed to address a weakness in the the frame on the 22s.

    Looking at yer pics I don't see any leaning or slants as other have demonstrated, so visually from the pics you look in good shape....but an ounce of prevention.....

    SierraBreeze & Ken J -

    many thanks for the great info. through your efforts and others i have now managed to trace this number [1601] all the way back to when it was issued, some time in 1958.

    fyi, my personal 'issue' date was only a few years earlier.

    i had not expected that many prior users of the number but i guess there is a lot of turn-over among the numbers and the AS's.

    thanks again,

    az-streamer

    p.s. SilverTwinkie - thanks for the heads up. i had not heard of these frame issues but i did check it out on some forum threads after getting your post. our 22' ccd is a 2005 and we have only had it for about 8 months. it was checked out before we bought it and so far it has tracked straight and level. we drove it across the U.S. from MA to AZ when we first got it. i will keep an eye out. az-streamer

    wingfoot321 -

    yup - know what you mean. we are also unwilling to stick the red numbers on the shiny skin but like the idea of displaying the number .

    we have noticed that many folks have found other ways to show the numbers.

    we saw a neat set-up where the numbers were on a piece of plexiglass and was attached [while parked] to the fron of the AS with rubber suction cups. removeable as needed.
