Re: [A/S] wheels tires and brakes
HI
I found a similar deal in my own back yard I didn't have a clew what to look
for it was owned by a "kindly" old man who assured that eavery thing worked
and eavery thing was in absolutly 1st class shape. $4000.00 seamed fair price
afterall Airstreams last foreaver right? WRONG!!!!!!! We started on a trip
the bath fell through the floor the fridge quit the water htr was shot.
Bottom line we spent at least $2500 on it to get it liveable the defects were
claverly hidden. Still to be done New upholstry needed New crovers on the
Care Free awnings
The fridge died again It has now become a challange I am now in the process
of remanufacturing the whole trailer . this little job will run at least
another$4000. It has become an obsession with me.
When I am done it will still be worth about $4000.
Some day I may list all the things I have done and put them on the list if
anyone is intrested.
