Trailer Wanted ! Help ! Help ! Help !
Hi All,
That got your attention ! We are still looking for a small single axle Airstream trailer. Will consider up to 22 ft in length. Fixer upper preferred. Were located in the state of Washington but will travel for the right purchase. Please, any advice or leads will be greatly appreciated. My wife & kids are anxious to add a trailer to their arsenal of family activities !
Best regards, Jesse & Kerry Spokane Wa.

Vintage trailer for sale
 There's a 17 ft. 1965 AS for sale in our local paper. No where near Washington I'm afraid but If anyone is interested I'll be glad to help. It sounds good. I've tried to call but as of yet no answer.

i don't understand ...
... there is no shortage of trailers available anywhere in the country, and several are advertised on this site, in fact. are you actively looking, checking the VAC classifieds & other web sites?

Finding trailer
I have looked at numerous trailers of all sizes and shapes just by seeing them next to a house, behind a house or in a park. I normally just stop and knock on the door, have met some nice folks. i would tell them I was looking for one, some were willing to put a price on theirs ( my old saying, nothing I have is on sale but its all for sale) or knew of another that was for sale. i found our trailer this way after a couple years looking for the right one. The point is don't wait for one to be listed in the paper, talk to owners in your area, also don't underestimate the cost of fixing up a fixer upper and make an offer accordingly. Good luck!

I might suggest that w/children, you might not want to get tooooo small. We have a 22' and the 4 of us are a squeeze (altho our kids are 17 & 13). Rallies in your area are also a good source of trailers for sale. I just got back from the one in C.Springs and there was a little Bambi for sale there.

1964 Airstream Bambi II
About a year ago I purchased a 1964 Airstream Bambi II, with the hopes of having the time and energy to restore it. Unfortunately, after going to Utah to pick it up and drive it home, I haven't had the time to do either. I now have my wife hounding me to sell my pet project and I have finally succumbed to her wishes.
I'm asking 2500 OBO.

Both of these suggestions are excellent...'Forum' or any WBCCI rallies!
