10 years later... I'll skip the gutted interior, nasty insulation and generic rehab photos and show the finished project. I am just finishing up in preparation of going full time 9/1/19.

Life interfered with this project for quite a while. I thought it might turn into a permanent driveway ornament. Early retirement allowed the time to finish project {almost} and hit the road.

Oh wow! I didn't look at the date of the first posting. So amused by the tag sale and the bear suit and the mini bike...flash forward ten years and OMG! That is a thing of beauty! Nice work!

p.s. Is that a composting toilet? If so , which brand? And that's that heater near your kitchen? So much to love about this...

Absolutely beautiful. I am in process of a full monty renovation of a 77 Argosy 24,currently installing insulation and rapidly approaching interior build out. A few questions if I may ask. What is the bead board material you used for building your cabinets? Also, what did you use as your countertop?

Farafield- Thanks. The toilet is Natures Head vented thru floor. The cat heater is mounted on hinge so you can point it at your toes.
ArgosyJeff- Thanks. The beadboard at bulkhead and door and drawer panels is 1/2" mdf available at most lumber yards with 2-3-4 inch centers. The Galley counters are 1 1/4 Butternut that i had. Rift or plain white oak or chestnut would have a similar look. The bath counter and seat are mahogany. The beadboard for door and front bulkhead is 1x4 pine 2" center from lumber yard.

I had been dodging the tagsale title as I did not know what a tagsale is. Finally had to look. Congratulations. Good work. Retirement does have it's advantages.
Hope to see you down the road. Really like the vintage trailers that folks have worked hard to bring back to the road. Pat

My head is REELING with Airstream + Bear Suit possibilities.
Looks like you found a solid unit at a good price. Nice Job!

Looks great and I hope the bear suit is holding up well too. Wonder what things will be like in another ten years?
