Vintage Argosy
UPDATE: This RV has SOLD
Lilo, our 1974 26′ Argosy travel trailer is officially for sale. This Argosy (made by Airstream) is everything I ever wanted in a small vintage trailer; lightweight, easy to tow, tons of character, and room for our large family. The Argosy was made by Airstream for a brief period of time in the late 70s and 80s. You can read more about their fascinating history here: Argosy history.

Updates
We made a lot of updates to Lilo, but there is more that could be done. I would call this a partial renovation. If I were to keep her, my plan was to remove the original oven and sink and put in new cabinets. She is definitely old and full of character, which is why I hope the right person comes along that will appreciate the vintage charm.
What we have done so far:
- Brand new tires
- New exterior paint and sealant
- All new flooring
- Interior paint
- A recovered cushion on the original sofa
- Portions of original cabinets were removed to create room for bunk beds
- Brand new hot water heater
- Tub refinished
- Countertops refinished
- Cabinets painted
- New light fixtures
- Water pump replaced
- New gas tanks and regulator
- Brand new power lift jack installed
What still needs to be tested or updated:
- The furnace is not currently hooked up and we are unaware of working order
- Oven/stove not tested
Original features in working order:
- Refrigerator
- Sinks
- Shower
- Black/gray tank
- Water holding tank
- All original windows
- Original awning
- Roof air-conditioning
