I guess I'll be an Argosy owner

Congratulations!!! That is one sweet looking trailer. It's very similar to ours, except we have the double bed option. I hope you find a great truck & can start camping right away!

We installed the rock guards last summer and are very happy with them. They are dark, and you can't see through them from the outside - but you still get lots of light coming through them to the inside & can see out quite well.

Have fun, and please post more pictures when you get the chance!

Do you have any photos of yours with the guards on?

I'm considering getting a set of protectors like the ones SmokelessJoe had made for his Argosy, canvas with a dense foam underneath, attached on turn-snap buttons.

Did you just use rock guards for a similar-width Airstream with Panos? Or did you have to modify a widebody setup?

We used the standard rock guards - they fit all the regular trailers with the pano windows, from the Argosys to the new Airstreams. (Minuet owners have to modify the flat middle guard.) It took Sean & our son Kyle about 2 hours to install them. They weren't cheap, but I like the fact that we don't have to put them on & take them off before & after each trip.




Before that, we tried to make some DIY rock guards using those silver sun shades for cars. We hot glued that thin, flexible foam packing material that comes in sheets to the inside and used silver duct tape to seal the seams. We attached them to the windows with Velcro. They worked fairly well on our first test run last Memorial Day, until one blew off somewhere along the road on the way home. That's when we decided to get the standard ones.



I think we were very lucky that we towed this trailer for 3 years without rock guards and never had a broken window. I'm glad we finally have them now, though!

Have fun with your new trailer!

One of the reasons I got hooked on this particular trailer is how complete it is, and how much of its original stuff came along with it. I've already mentioned the condition of the stove and such, but it also had all its original manuals and documents and such.

I photographed some of them while I was tinkering with it this morning. Check out that price sheet, for a brand-new trailer.
