Twin beds or double bed?
How far are you able/willing to drive to pick it up?
Good luck in your search!

Hi Steve-- Incidentally I heard you on the VAP from the Cherry Blossom rally, you traveled quite a ways. Sounds like it was a great time!
I'm really pretty flexible on all of the questions asked. I'd like to do some of the restoration myself so a fixer would be good. But if I found one in great condition and the price wasn't exorbitant, I'd be okay with that, too. I know a lot of veteran vintage Airstream owners encourage newbies to buy the absolute best condition they can afford, so I'd say that at the top end my budget would be in the $6K - $8K range depending on the condition.
As for layout, I see advantages for both the twin and double beds, and I'm pretty handy and a decent DIY woodworker so I could convert one to the other if necessary. I plan to replace the front gaucho with a dinette, so the front end doesn't really matter to me that much.
As for distance driven, I'm not finding ANYTHING locally here in Central Texas, so I think I'll have no choice but to travel some distance to get it.
Thanks so much for your help, it is much appreciated!
