Which airstream to buy

When you are in the market looking to buy a travel trailer or RV, there are many different options. Have you considered buying a vintage Silver Bullet? Remodeling is a great way to build the Airstream of your dreams, but be prepared that re-building an Airstream can be very time-consuming and challenging if you DIY.

Airstreams are available in a variety of sizes, styles, layouts and ages. When considering purchasing your first Airstream, think about your ultimate purpose and why you want to have one. Clarity of purpose is the first step towards making it real. You will catch yourself dreaming of traveling the country, staying in places off the beaten path, watching sunsets or lying under the stars while sitting around a campfire with new friends you met on your journey.

City skyline. Birthday Sparks. Fashion Magazine. When we looked into buying an Airstream, we really had no idea, no plan, nor any knowledge of RVing. Airstream recently launched its Basecamp 20 and 20x Travel Trailers. The new Basecamp models have additional convenience features than the previous versions.

Both variants are 20 feet long and can accommodate four people. Basecamp models offer tons of modern features in a small footprint, including a toilet and seating areas that convert into beds.

In some form or another, the tail lights were round through In , the tail lights went to square and remained that way until the modern oval lights came about. One thing to keep in mind is the cost and availability of these components.

Replacing parts for the later model Airstreams, from and up, is pretty easy to come by. For more info on tail lights, visit our blog post here. My favorite years for the vintage Airstream are I did not go looking for my AS it found me, I was helping an aquatic pick up an old car he found, Not knowing he had an AS in his backyard.

He saw me looking at it in a distance behind and under several big pine trees. He says do you wont to take a look. All I knew was it was a dull gray and looked like an old trailer of some type. We talked about the adventures this camper had seen. Knowing what price range the AS bring I made an offer of 1, He looks at me says go get your truck before they go flat.

At this point, he says the AS has a new home, and you can pay me when ever and left. I got to shoveling all the crap out of the inside. He noticed that the frame was in supper bad shape and needed more work than he ever thought. So he handed me the title free of charge and said god luck. This was over a year ago. I think I will be ready for the first trip in spring of 19 I do not know how to tell you , but on FB under Stan Krieger you can find my pics.

So your? What ever finds you will work. I am having a blast building it my way. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
