1974 Airstream Argosy For Sale

October 10, 2022 by Sarah Lemp

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.

The Details

Here are a few of the important details about this vintage Argosy:

  1. Sleeps our family of 7, but it’s tight! There are 2 “full” size beds and 3 “twin” size beds, but I put the sizes in quotations because they are not exactly standard sizes, they are RV sizes.
  2. Approximately 4,000 lbs
  3. 26′ long
  4. 1974 Argosy made by Airstream
  5. Bathroom with toilet, sink and small shower
  6. Kitchen has sink and gas oven/stove that is not currently operational
  7. Refrigerator/freezer in working order
  8. Air conditioner and hot water heater all work
  9. Comes with battery and 12v convertor
  10. Black and gray holding tanks
  11. Fresh water holding tank and pump
  12. Comes with propane gas tanks
  13. Electric tongue jack
  14. Built-in stabilizing jacks
  15. Awning

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

About Sarah Lemp

Sarah first fell in love with the idea of owning a vintage camping that would make travel affordable (and adorable) on a small budget. She renovated her first “canned ham” travel trailer in 2014 and the rest is history! Their family fell in love with camping, and they grew in size, which meant upgrading to a larger RV. Sarah has renovated close to 20 RVs of various size, style and age. She specializes in small, cute and colorful remodels that are budget-friendly.
