To Roadeo - I beg to differ with your comment on gutting the Sovereign. I'm a new owner of a 67 and new to this forum. We were looking for a "retirement home" with space and that's what we got. It may not be the most collectible of the litter, but all Airstreams deserve a bit of tender loving care. By the way, the previous owners of ours had 8 kids and 3 dogs. It was "loved" alot. It has some problems, but that's half the fun. And it has more inside storage area than any 5th wheels we looked at. By the way, does anyone out there know the best way to repair a broken "rafter"? Large person - air conditioner replacement - you get the picture.

You can probably pick up a 31 foot sovereign for less that 3000 dollars if you look around. Now that is the model you should gut and you of course will have more work and storage room to boot.. The 25 ft and unders are most desirable and worth a whole lot more than the 29-31s in many cases.
The 27 ft trailers (Overlanders) are in a class by themselves and are also in the more desirable catagory.
