[A/S] Cheap Airstream
Well I am a newbie posting here. Just bought our Airstream last
month. It is a 31' Land Yacht International rear twin. Some dents and
dings and had been sitting since 1989. We have a lot of work to do!
The best part - everything is original - 8 track player even works as
well as all lights. Bad part - a small leak filled moisture into the
critter and I am still washing mildew off the walls but it is looking
good. Mice, mice, mice. The owner put poison in but not before there
were "presents" everywhere. The critter was in a back yard of a house
that was auctioned at an estate sale. Everyone else walked in the
camper and the odors drove them out. Not me! Get this - the executors
would not take my high bid of $200 (there was another bidder) but
they did take $425. We know new brakes and tires are in the future
but we got it home on a ball - can't reason with my hubby - when he
wants something done he does it now. So after 10 miles of bouncing
over back roads we have our work cut out for us. Must buy another
hitch before spring - income tax rebate? Oh - have Ford F250 PS
diesel so we won't be blown off the road - hopefully. I am not
looking forward to the first tractor trailer passing. Well just
wanted you to see there are still bargains out there - just wish out
bargain was just a little smaller but it will be nice when we get to
