Well that's certainly the truth even if it doesn't solve my problem !!!! But...Something about this ole tub that tends to make me overlook that.

Thanks....

Smile Possible parts for your Argosy?

Are you still working on your Argosy? I don't see any posts since last August, but maybe that's just the slider windows info.

We have a 79/80 Airstream motorhome 28' that is painted and has the steel caps front & rear. I believe it was built as an Argosy, sold as an Airstream in the year Airstream converted them from Argosy to Airstream. It's a rear bath, originally mid-twin beds, we think.

Anyway, it has some severe damage to the skin on the back left corner from a tree falling on it. The slider windows in the front are not damaged, other than their age. We haven't decided what to do with it. I hate to just scrap the whole thing. My husband had it running last summer and moved it on our property. There may be other parts you could use.

We can send pictures if you are interested at all and discuss the possibilities. We are located 40 miles west of Albany, NY, just off the NYS Thruway.

Hi, there is a separate thread on the rebuild (http://www.airforums.com/forums/f310...ad-125552.html).

I did buy a 28ft as a donor, and stripped the windows and other parts from it.

Also, complete windows, sash and glass and frame are rather expensive. Ball park, $ 500.00 each.

Perhaps you could find a totaled trailer some where and salvage the windows from it.

The only windows still available for the classic motor home are the rear opening window, the rear wrap windows if so equipped, the driver and passenger slider windows, the fixed entrance door window and the 2 windshields.

Hi,
I’m looking for a driver’s sliding window for my 1979 Argosy. So where are they still available?
I know your post is an older one but I’ve got to start somewhere...
