Wanted a smaller Airstream MH to Buy. FOR SALE

Hello I am wanting to purchase a smaller 20' airstream / argosy type MH. I have owned Westfalia VW's and want something bigger. So I am looking for a diesel or gas unit in good to rebuilt shape.
Thanks

Welcome to the forums!

You may want to keep an eye on the classifieds here. All the "for sale" items are usually listed there, keeps them easier to track and they don't get lost in the threads. There are several listed there...maybe one that's been looking for you!

You can also post a "wanted" ad...

As far as a 20' motor home, you will be limited exclusively to a 1970's Argosy 20 motor home. All other classic models are larger. The next larger size is 24'.
An alternative may be the Sprinter-based motorhomes.

Look up Balgrn on this Forum. He has a very cute Argosy MH, if you can get it away from him. You'll have to promise that you'll give it a good home, he's got several trailers he uses, but it very attached to the "Peanut"

Yes bought it. 1994 Sovereign.

It was owned by an 88 yr old man that dented and broke a few things.
We Ike the fact that a 2 axle is safer, all 4 brakes and 3950 # weight I tow with V6 supercharged 4 Runner
Questions on grey water handle & shaft that are missing, where can I buy?
Where to get "nice" rivets for patches? Several dents, sone tore the skin.
