Completely renovated units for sale?

BC,

Good to see someone else from the greater Metroplex area posting on here ... I live in Fort Worth, and bought a vintage trailer that had been restored from the frame up. As some have pointed out, however, it's not very common, since people usually find their trailer first, then send it off to have it worked on.

My trailer isn't perfect, by any means -- it is after all, 43 years old -- but, in my mind, it gives you the best of both worlds: the look and feel of a vintage Airstream, with updated systems and interior elements. (Plus, since it already has a few dings here and there, it's not nearly as devastating as finding your first dent on a new trailer!)

If you ever find yourself on the west end of town, I'd be happy to show you our trailer, and go over some of the pros and cons involved in its upkeep vs. a new unit.

Hey Bo,

I'm in Dallas and have just started my restoration after over 2 years of thinking and researching. I visited with Randy at North Dallas RV in Carrollton and they have a great shop there for repair/restoration. They also have some in-process trailers there if you want to stop by and take a look. But I agree with everyone else, this is not a cost saving process.
If you want turn-key - find a good deal or a new or newer unit. There are lots of classifieds out there. Also, if you haven't made plans for tomorrow, you might want to drive south to Montgomery to the Vintage Rally - there will be a public open house on Saturday afternoon with plenty of brains to pick. Good luck. paula

Bo - I just clicked over to the classifieds on this site and there are some good choices - the 1975 25' really stood out as one to look closer at.
enjoy the hunt!
