What you got here is a 27 year old "House" sitting on a 27 year foundation/chassis that was a "Floater" at one time that most likely STILL has all the problems and more that are associated with a 27 year house on wheels.
The seller will NEVER live anywhere near long enough to receive their asking price for this "Floater"!
The "Floater" part (Salvage) title issue does not bother "me" at all HOWEVER that OLD Airstream Motorhome you purchase NOW with a Salvage title will one day be the even OLDER Airstream Motorhome that you will want to SELL with a Salvage title.
At that time the "Millennials" who will have all the money will not want it or care about it and those older folks that might be interested will be Dead or Dying!
VASTLY OVERPRICED!!!

This is from the bloke that would want at least $25,000 for his 20' 6.0M Minuet; at least his has a motor in it. 
Trailer guys just don't get it. 
Cheers

The 6.0 Minuet was actually a good buy earlier this year at $4500!
Unfortunately it does need an engine rebuild.

Great buy! Hard to find trailer, and I'm searching for an even harder to find trailer to renovate; a 6.7M Minuet to tow behind my 24' Argosy motorhome; so if you come across one, please give me a shout. 
Cheers

Not sure what you mean by that, millennials currently make up the majority of the new rv buying market, and I don't know what percentage, but a significant portion of the used market as well

Please note the counter example of my very millennial son—who bought the current family Airstream...
