Advise needed on purchase of a Argosy trailer.

[moparguy]

Well, the title about sums it up. I may take a inspection job on a out of state natural gas project and am considering the purchase of a inexpensive travel trailer. Construction guys know the routine, live in the trailer, home on weekends.



Beyond the common sense type things, anyone have input on what to look for on a 1977 (?) model Argosy 26 Airstream. It looks good, has roof air and a 16' awning. Tires are good and everything works.



Guy wants $4,650.



Thanks, Ronnie

Sounds like a good deal , check for water leak stains around windows and air cond. vents, pipes etc. check floor by putting your weight on in and around the tub stool sink . Try water pump and city water try the heater and water heater check if anode rod in water thank . Try to get to take it home for week end check out of all above if possible . Or take your chances up to you except for the paint its just like a cheaper Air stream and you can not attend the Walley Braum caravan You might like it so well that you may keep it and trade up later on and go camping .
