They were busy this week and did not get to the tires, which worked out well it turns out. We're going to wait on replacing the patio awning fabric for now. The dealer couldn't help too much there and recommended a new one. There's a awning guy in my home town that might/should be able to make one up for me. We'll see.

If you hardware is in good shape, try these guys for new fabric. I ordered mine Wednesday evening and it arrived today. At $129.00 and free shipping, it was a no-brainer.

What are your window problems, or are you just adding one? Did you break a front window? Is that why all your pictures are from the back except the one with the sun glasses on?

Steve:
Most of the other pics were from the rear to have the tire carrier in the shot and in my yard it's easier to take a photo from that direction. This photo was taken with my phone at in the repair shop lot.

The center front window was replaced by the PO with a very thin sheet of plexiglas. Honestly, I was fine with that until I found this window.

I added the sun shades/guards in an attempt to protect as best I could the curved windows.

RV Legends in Waterbury, CT finished with my Argy yesterday. I picked it up this morning. They were very helpful and customer service oriented, of course spending a sh ... um ... lot of money can make people treat you better.

I then drove to work so it's a "Take your Airstream to work day" Everyone wanted a tour so I obliged.

A lot has happened in the past couple of months. Wife bought me a new tow vehicle and this weekend we bought a new trailer. I will be selling both and will post in the classified section soon. Perhaps as a package?

Yikes. I just bought a 72 Argosy 20 footer, and was hoping to paint it. Is this impossibly expensive and paint doesn't stick to aluminum and I have to go out and check my axles and....and....I sure hope I didn't make a mistake. Can anyone tell me in simple terms whether or not my Argosy is paintable, with what kind of paint, or whether I should take the paint off and "seal/polish" it? I'm about freaking out here in New Hampshire! Merci.

BVD:

do a search for user Boatdoc. he did a great job. I've been only painting the banana wrap and the trim. easy stuff. I was going to hire someone to paint the whole trailer in about a year.

There are lots of threads out here on painting.

Oh! Welcome to Airforums!!! post some photos!!

no more "rookie stripe". Thank's to s_balrgn for naming it that and for determining I could remove it.

a second trailer

I did some touch up on the black paint this weekend, cleaned, winterized and put her away for her long winters nap. I hope I find a new home for her soon. She is feeling neglected.

I took lots of photos of the interior yesterday. Have a look by clicking the link in my signature. I love this trailer.
