Can I tow my 25' Trade Wind with my van?

I am selling my 1973 25' TradeWind and need to tow it one time about sixty miles. I have a 1998 Ford Windstar van. Is that big enough to haul it that far?

Any way to get a title?

I bought a 1973 25' AS that had been sitting in a resort for years. The owner had no title. Any way I can come up with one?

half a step

My 1972 Land Yacht is missing the bottom step. To me, it's not worth replacing. I have a more serious problem: what is left does not move in or out. Right now, it is kind of jammed in half way.

'77 Tradewind interior panel removal

On the front starboard side, or the curbside front quarter if you prefer, I have a sizable dent that looks like it would push out pretty easily. I see the interior panels are riveted in and these...

OK, OK, so I'm a newbie. What is a gaucho? I must have one in my 77 Tradewind as I don't have a dinette, just a fold up and out table. I'm surmising that it is a sort of bed/couch that goes all...

awning cover

Thanks for the response!

I'm talking about something that just covers the awning. I guess to protect that part of the fabric that would be exposed to sunlight even when not rolled out.

Alumaguard? Is that what I need?

The 70's Tradewind I just bought has a ripped, frayed gray exterior cover. Can someone tell me about replacing it? The AS is in Maryland near DC.

Many thanks.

What it is?

I've made a deal to acquire this AS but the current owner doesn't know what year or type or length.

Anyone know their AS's well enough to ID this critter?

Many thanks!

I'm just a newbie but picked up the three-inch rule somewhere: when you jack up the side of the trailer, the wheels should hang down about 3". Is this a valid rule of thumb?
