Darel,

I've been down the path you're contemplating. It's not an easy task breaking apart one of these motorhomes. If I hadn't had a backhoe with a front end loader it would have been almost impossible. If you're serious about parting it out I would post an ad in the classified section. I got quite a few responses that way.

Good luck.

Brad

Hi,
I could use the drivers side al extrusion that holds the vertical seal. This part is attached to the immobile piece of glass. Like a vent window. I'd attach a picture if I knew how to.

Wouldn't it be worth more as it is? Just wondering.....

In an earlier posting I said I needed the drivers side window extrusion. I may have been drinking.........It's the curb side I need.
Sorry

It is for sale as is but it is not selling and while setting for sale it has been vandelized. I could put $1000 into it to replace the broken windshield but I don't think that it would get me anymore money for it.
I had an offer of $1000 as it sits. That guy wants to part it out also.
For just the engine, tranny and generator I could get $1000. Those could be used by anyone. The Argosy parts are the ones that going to be more difficult to sell.
I will leave it for sale through the Winter then next Spring I will start dismantaling it.

I have a 1977 in good condition.

I am interested in Stairs, if complete, and aluminum panel to the right of entry stairs.
Could you contact me?

Hi,

I'm looking for a passenger side slider window for an argosy motor home. I believe all model years were the same. I need the whole assembly or just the forward stationary window. My stationary window is broken. That's the one that borders the passenger side windshield and is immovable. The slider part is intact. I could use the whole assembly (both panes) or just the stationary one. Thanks for your help.
I'd be interested in other parts as well.

Thanks,

Nik Mills503 234 7782
