Contemporizing 1976 Argosy D - opinions please

That's one sweet ass Argy Sergei. Your setup will be dripping character all over the roads. Great job!

MORE PICS Sergei! It looks great as is! Increadible work. The paint looks flawless!

Looking good Sergei.....
So where are the BIG RED NUMBERS? With all of your high tech skills I expect if you join the wbcci you will invent a laser beam that projects the numbers on the front of the trailer. Red looks good with black and white!
Waiting for more photos.

Skip,

This is a picture of the equipment at the front, on the tongue, taken before the rest of the lower section of the trailer was painted black.

Thanks for that lst photo! That makes perfect sense now. That and me actually reading a bunch more of the thread.

Such a nice job.

If you have an adjustable shank on your hitch ball, or knowledge about adjustable shanks, please consider going here to see my question about them.

Any help sincerely appreciated.


How do I Install an Adjustable Shank on my Hitch??

Hi...I am thinking about changing the colors on my Argosy (72, 20ft)... When are you going to get on the road? Sorry, so long since last post.

This week Vince helped me pick up the Dorchester Platinum upholstery and install it in the trailer.

It looks good. I’ll take some photos after the interior is cleaned up.

Then we mounted the modified adjustable hitch and moved the Argosy out to Red Oak Park.



After the trailer was spotted there for the season I took the truck to Bill Berkelmans’ place.

Over the summer, the final details on the trailer will be completed at Red Oak and the Sprinter deck and ramp system will be built nearby at Bill’s.

It’s all unfolding very nicely.

Someday I’ll also have to find a place in the country to keep all this junk at.

[Roamin' Cat]

Wow, wow, wow!

Sergei, just read through this and your Diesel Powered Trailer threads, and all I can say is wow!

Beautiful work, great use of alternative products, very inspirational!

Thank you for sharing this journey with us

Sergei, please tell me you are hauling that thing to the Region 1 Rally. I wanna see it in person!!

[Van]

I'm stunned at what you have accomplished. Absolutely spectacular work.

Hi Sergei, hope everything is going well and that the Sprinter is coming along.

I thought about you when I saw this set-up from Forum poster "Dimmer." If you had any questions about hauling a trailer with a toad on your deck, he might be able to help you.

Keep us posted on your progress, and hopefully I'll get to meet you (and your trailer of course!) when you make your trek through the Southern USA!

THANK YOU,

Mossyone, Marc, Safari 62, Steve, Lynda, Skip, Mistral Blue, Van, Utee and all others who enjoy following my journey.

I promise to report more often if someone will please send me an OBAMA ‘08 hat.

Lots of bad weather (we had the coldest, rainiest May on record) and other important things to do have prevented me from getting much done on the trailer.



I did manage to make the emblems ready for spray painting. Even that took a couple of hours. You’ll be amazed how much time can be spent on an Airstream renewal.
