Yesterday I looked at an old camper my cousin has up in Wildwood. It was made in 1966, is only about 15-16' long, has 2 propane tanks, water heater and fridge that work and run off propane. Has electrical hook up for 110V, and a full size toilet. No shower, though. Could use a little airing out, maybe some paneling changed out, but it is dry and functional as it sits. He works for a tire company and just put new tires on it, serviced the hubs, etc. I'm debating hard on whether or not to get it, but he's given me such a good price I'll almost be insulting him if I don't take it. If I decide not to take it, and someone else wants it, I'll let y'all know if it's available.

Airstreams are good but very heavy for their size they were the elite class campers and still have a strong following.Many have been changed over to less woodwork because of cost but those that do the rehab's those babies look great.

I don't recall the exact mdl but would guess it at 18-22' single wheel, nice but the toilet and shower were small for a big guy. my buddy that owns it is in "show-biz" and all the stars prefer re-modeled airstreams because they are classics.it was warm dry and comfy, but we could pull a pop up a-lot more places on the beach or thru the woods behind a 4x4. my bro had a converted 1955 greyhound bus. diesel, air brakes and dual tires that would go alot of places. we took that sucker all over both sides of the rockies and into mexico.
