Have you looked at the Boat and RV Trader which has RV's and Trailers in the back and they carry these at the small drive up mini marts around Houston and surrounding areas, I saw quite a few for sale in there.

Here is one in Houston.
Additionally, do a traderonline.com search, limiting it to the Houston area, or Texas.

Check out this site.

It accesses newspapers throughout the country. You can narrow your searches geographically.

Hi bob
a trailor with a bad interior is mostly not verry well looked after
beter to try find one near a port baltimore is a good place to ship from some verry helpfull shipping agents there if you have to ship from texas to a port be ready to pay 1 usd a mile
find one near a port you save $$$ and can put that on your budget
find one with good AC and fridge again save $$ put that on your budget
find one with good tires brakes and al parts for the hitch included
again put it on your budget
this way your budget will be around 5000 $$ you can get a verry nice trailor for that money
and at the end save yourself a lot of $$
2000 usd will get you a trailor that needs a lot of $ to get it right
at first I was also looking for a trailor in that price range
but now I got one a bit more expencive but evrything works
and I can make my changes step by step
good luck
en ik hoor nog wel wat het geworden is

remco and bob,
Got a question, how do you make a US airconditioner or fridge unit work on Dutch power? I thought you guys were on 50 cycles 240 volt?

Try www.pplmotorhomes.com. There is a large facility in Houston that has various classes of motor homes, 5th wheelers, and trailers. The last time I looked it had a couple of Airstreams. There are hundreds of listings, plus you can see what a GREAT number of them actually sold for.
