My elderly mother and I would like to purchase an Airstream trailer in Albuquerque we found on Craigslist. We are 150 miles north near Chama. We have no knowledge of travel trailers and we are afraid to make a mistake! I contacted the 2 inspectors listed here on the forums and I have not received a response in 2 days. We are afraid to miss it because it looks perfect. We can be there during the inspection and if everything looks good, we will buy the trailer .
You might give Andrew (the younger one) a call at Holiday Travel Trailers service dept ... There would most likely be a charge but if you have no other choice ...
We purchased our AS from them and were treated fairly and are happy with the service we received.
Second that recommendation on Andrew, and Lucas as well as their Dad. They are all very honest and accommodating. We purchased our new AS from Holiday and have been very satisfied with them on service.

Thanks very much for the referrals and names. We appreciate it. My printer died yesterday so I copied out most of the inspection list. I will try to get one of those guys to go look the trailer over tomorrow. Meanwhile, we are going down there to check it out today. Printer and refrigerator broke down on the same day and phone service not working well. Yikes.
We bought the 85 31' Airstream in Albuquerque! I am so excited!!! The owner said he planned to take the trailer to Holiday (without my suggestion) to have it checked out and I could pick it up there and get the run down. Then I found out the Holiday folks own a store out at Heron Lake which is about 4 miles from where I live. There is no sign of wear anywhere in the trailer. It's like new. An airplane mechanic owned it and did a lot of work on it. It was sold when he passed away at 90.
Thank you everyone for those posts. It eliminated a lot of stress and worry. Thanks so much.
