Post Updated List, New Members, Clean up

Last update of 2016

Sorry for missing you and welcome to sherry23bee

Just a thought but do you think we could challenge ourselves to try and add 50 new Argosy's to our list in 2017???

It would be great if we could grow our community, share our passion, and create a vibrant thread with lots of good information.

I leave you with this Quote from astronaut Chris Hadfield
"Each of us inherently wants the same things out of life—joy, grace, time and stability to think, better opportunities for our children, laughter, someone to love."

Happy New Year!!!! We are Argosy Strong

Did you get the name plate/medallion? I just registered mine about a month ago and haven't received the packet yet. Registered mine as "Argosy" in hopes of getting a medallion that states "Airstream Argosy". I think it would make convincing the uninformed that it really is an Airstream a little easier.

Registration???

Tell me more about this registration. Where do you register? Who is it registered with? Come on, sherry23bee and 1973Argosy, inquiring minds want to know.

It's at airstream dot com. You register your trailers name with airstream and get an official certificate, and name medallion. If you ever sale your trailer airstream keeps the name you gave it for life. This link can explain things better than I. If you decide to register make sure you fill out the "trailer bio" section or the Web page will tell you there is an error.

Please add 24T7V1038 to the list.
I worked for Argosy in the Versailles Plant from 1975 through 1977. I started in the interior skin department and "graduated" to the paint department. The Argosy I own I actually painted the curb side 41 years ago. It is getting a total remake.

First off welcome to the forums. How awesome that you are getting to restore one that you had hand in originally building. How far along in the remake are you? We just finished an exterior repaint and couldn't be happier with it.

I am 75% finished with the interior, replacing the skins, updated the load center with a PD 4045, new Dometic fridge, stove top, air conditioner, wired for Sirius Radio, new flooring, lighting, upholstery, curtains, all Pex plumbing.
The exterior will get a new paint job wh8the weather permits. Renovating the trailer has brought back many memories.

I'm think yor VIN is wrong. Since your Argosy is a double, the B should be a D. B wad not used in the VIN.

Unless it was a type error on the window sticker...

That is a D in block font. The VIN wad hand stamped at the factory. Someone didn't do a real good job stamping it. I worked in the paint department at the Versailles Argosy plant from 1975 through 1977. I actually painted the curb side of your Argosy.
