I really don't think there is anything cheap about buying a fixer upper. You will pay in the end.

We paid 3,000 for our 25 ft tradewind a year ago, and have spent nearly a year and a little over 10,000 MORE fixing her up. When do you need to move into this Airstream? If time is important, you need to do a LOT of reading on this forum as to what it takes to gut and rebuild one. It's a lot more than you would think.

There is a young couple on here now that is just starting what you are thinking about doing. They thought they would have theirs gutted and rebuilt by July 31, they now know that there is no way that that is going to happen.

Please think this through carefully and set a realistic time frame and budget. Nothing is impossible if you really want it badly enough.

Welcome, to AirForum this is the best place you'll find for any questions you might have on Airstreams.
