When I retire, I've been wanting to buy a used Airstream as a project, something that needs a little work, clean it up and redo the interior, then take it wherever the fish are for a year or two or three.
Plan B is to get a nice used Lance instead (been told by several buddies that Lance is the best bang for your buck). |

Watching the storm roll in on Hudson lake. Waiting for the Salina, ok fireworks. Primitive camping second weekend with the Wen generator.

Yeah, same. I found an Airstream on EBay once, 35-ft I think, for around $35,000. Some guy had the same dream, ripped out most of the interior, redid the wiring, then decided not to finish it and put it up for sale. So, the thing was mostly just the outer shell, plus wiring, and the original plumbing, of course. That was more than ten years ago, so way too early for me to think about pulling the trigger on that one, but that's basically what I'll be looking for in the future. |

Enjoying unusually cool weather for the Tulsa area. 80* so we’re using the screen thing. My wife’s been drying to use this thing. Personally I don’t even care if we have it lol.

Whoops, missed this one, sorry bout that. Yeah, they're pricey, even used/gutted. Though I could be off on that figure by a few thousand, that was some time ago. In the low-30s is really what I remember. Thing is, Airstreams are lighter, better made, insulated and hold their value better than pretty much every other RV/camper out there. Like Toyota used to be, if that makes sense. |
