Dave,

Are you sure you have the numbers right?

Normally an Argosy goes for less than the same length Airstream. The small ones (minuet models) are a rare breed and do sometimes command a premium. If you look for a 20,22,or 24 footer you will find many out there for 2/3 the cost of the comparable Airstream. The painted coach is easier to maintain on the exterior as long as the paint is in good shape. If not, you can have it redone. The cost is more than the plasticoat job on an Airstream will cost, but it will tend to last 3X as long with maintenance.

Keep looking, you will find one that is the size you want for the $$ you wish to spend!
