Really happy for you guys, the recovery adventure is something you will never forget. Glad no major drama on the way home. Next comes the best part, snooping thru all the drawers, nooks and cranies to find treasures no matter how small.

Have fun

Kevin

I know, I can't wait to get in her and really start digging around! Sorry about not posting a pic but exhaustion set in yesterday which means, who can think?

like the trailer, the upholstery was slip covered its entire life so its excellent condition shows. I couldn't be happier!

Wow! It is really nice. Can't wait to see more. I would like to get a second trailer that is smaller and I would like to find an argosy. Welcome to the 70s! How did you find it?

Thanks.

The ad was on craigslist in PA! and well worth the trip as the condition is absolutely amazing. The seller was an absolute gem...the trailer came with all the original paperwork, manuals, booklets and all his added toys, equalizing hitch, tire covers, upholstery covers and more.

I'm already enjoying the joys of ordinary cleaning as it appears there is little to do. However, I'm sweating bullets because there is no a/c unit, as of yet. The story goes that he asked the dealer if he should get the a/c unit or the awning and the dealer said awning. I guess that night have been common in the 70's in PA but not so here in the south!

Super excited, can't wait to go camping...after the air or after the summer, whichever comes first.

Congratulations!!

When the only obvious cosmetic defect of your all-original '77 Argosy are mismatched hubcaps, you've SCORED!

Looks fantastic.

haha right? it appears as if 'no hub caps' is original since the actual wheels have an orange stripe on them so we'll be removing those mismatched babies.
