Large Creases

I am looking at purchasing a airstream to renovate and make use for camping for my family. The one in my area has some creases and was wondering if it can be repaired or if theres no hope and this beauty is scarred for life. Pictures included. Thanks its a 1972 Tradewind

First off, welcome to AirForums!

The 'best' way to address those creases is by removing the inside panel and work them out from the backside - although, they will never 'disappear' unless you replace the panel. It looks like this trailer has been sitting awhile and may need some pretty significant work prior to being 'road-worthy' and 'camp-ready'. Have you seen the interior? If the windows have been left open - there may be water damage to the floor...which is a big issue.

This website, can help you assess the condition & what the price should be.

Good luck regardless if you decide to go for this one or look for another!

The owners had been using it as a storage shed so unsure of water damage or not inside will need some work but thats okay because Im looking for a bit of a project ill add interior pictures as well.

If price is rite and creases don't leak. What I see is a little tlc. Camping doesn't care if a few creases, but consider will need new axles & tires.
