Too good to be true....it was!!

Acquaintance here in North Texas came by to look at the Caravel I have for sale. He decided he was not the Vintage type. Besides, there was a GREAT deal on a 2002 (+/-) Airstream in New Mexico. Off he went for the great deal and returned with it. Next morning he noted something peculiar about the "stance" as it sat catywampus in the drive. Took it to the local shop where an inspection showed a rippled skin high on one side. Closer inspection showed that the entire frame on one side was curved almost like a snake. The rippled skin side panels had been replaced and the bent, curvy, frame had built in a stress on those new panels. Best guess is that it had been on its side. Like the song says.....the road goes on forever....Be careful out there.
