Welcome.
I'm an Ashley too.
Careful; this aluminitis thing is contagious. Hope you find what you're looking for.

Hi Ashley! You're a lurker no more! Welcome to the forums. There's more here than you'd probably ever think that there is to know about silver trailers. Poke around, research, read, and ask questions as they come up!

Again, welcome and have a ball!

Roger

Thanks!

Thank y'all for such a warm welcome. And hello, another Ashley, from Texas! I consider myself from there, even though I wasn't born there like my husband. I mostly grew up in Tyler, TX but moved away 3 yrs ago. Missin' the Lone Star State! GO COWBOYS!!!!

Anyway, about my search- didn't really know I was interested in these types of trailers until I began searching for an rv for the family on craigslist. I would love a teardrop, but the size/price/configuration doesn't work for my family of 4 (at least, in my $ range). So, I began looking into all kinds of retro trailers, especially the fiberglass "egg" campers, but still couldn't find what I wanted. I came across an Airstream that was reallllllly overpriced and realized when I went to look at it that I loved the look and feel, along with the layouts of these old beauties. They had the configurations I was looking for in smaller sizes with an exterior that is unique and can stand up well to time. So, I began looking at the Airstream and weighing options and realized I just can't afford one, and the ones I can afford, I can't afford what it would cost to make beautiful again. Then...I came across an Argosy and thought, "cool!" An Air, that isn't an Air, that I can do what I want with, without offending the Airstream originals! So...here I am, still searching. Might have found one if I can get them to come down on their price.
