The HoHo Restoration

All in the Name

Naming the trailer almost seemed silly. But, it does seem to be an important part of the “Airstream way of Life”. So we we’re off to choose a name. All the obvious ones came up. Silver Bullet, Tin Can, and others that were thrown out. One was mentioned in passing, silver twinkie, sounded good but obviously already taken, probably many time over.

We let the topic brew a few more days. After major mediation on the issue, “The Ho Ho” was thrown out for discussion. The explanation was easy. In the glory days of the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, HoHos were wrapped in shiny foil. Plus in looking at the Safari, both ends have damage. The damage looks vaguely like a foil wrapper on a vintage Hoho.
So the name stays. Airstreams are like old Hoho’s. Shiny on the outside, with good things on the inside. Note the proper serving size per FDA guidelines is three. I just gotta figure out where to put two more Airstreams!
