Free Argosy 20' Motorhome in San Diego
I have a 20' Argosy that has a 350 motor which is not running, that I will let anyone have for free for parts or restoration. There are parts that have been taken, but there are many more to be had. The exterior is pretty straight. You will just need to have it trailered to your destination. I will try to get a recent photo this week.
Best,
JB

Teasing aside. I'm happy you claimed it first. I know you will restore it to better than new and enjoy years of adventures with it.
I have AAA RV and 100 mile free tow if it helps you to get it home.

Very cool, Milo...might take you up on it. Will that limit your benefits for when you need them? Like, do you only have a certain amount of tows per year?

Uwe,
I will add my AAA/RV/100 miles and you will have 200 miles. ithink we get 3 tows a year, that gives me one more left, plenty after I start borrowing the new Suburban.

A regular tow truck will work just fine. We towed our 20' Argosy moho on a 16' double axle trailer from Eastern Tennessee to Central Arkansas using a 1988 Ford F250 diesel. It was a slow trip but very doable.
Uwe, good luck and take plenty of pictures!

Uh, better check you AAA policy again. I tried to tow a used car I bought that had frozen brakes. AAA wants to make sure that the car/MH is 1) road ready 2) legally tagged. NOT to discourage you Uwe!
I thought about this MH (it was posted about earlier here and in Craigslist), but the broken windows made me pause (I don't know why the lack of engine wouldn't though! : > ).
Can't wait to hear more!
Good luck Uwe!

According to the manual for our 74 20' Argosy Moho the weight is around 6700 lbs. For planning purposes I would use 7000 lbs as the curb weight.

That's only a little bit more than my old Suburban with a full tank of fuel.
