[A/S] Re: 1983 Airstream Motorhome

Tom,

I imagine it is an 1983 model 310 (31").  That remains the most 
popular length for that year particularly if it has the rear 
seating/bed configuration.  The Isuzu diesel is also sought after 
for the gas mileage.  There is certinly nothing to suggest this is a 
bad unit.  $12,000 seems sorta low for that unit.  Price varies 
wildly on the older motorhomes due to condition.  I would advise her 
to:
1) Have an independant mechanic evaluate it
2) Make sure she has some additional $$ after the purchase since she 
will have to farm out the repair work.  The older motorhomes tend to 
need some regular TLC.
3) Test drive it to see if she is confortable driving it.  My wife 
drives our 345 with no trouble.  There units are much easier to 
drive than they appear.

Here's my site if she wants more information.
