1985 Airstream Sovereign 25 - New Mexico



This is a 36 year old vintage Airstream with no damage history.All systems are fully functional and significantly upgraded.Skin is in good shape, polished, but does shows the wear and tear of a travel trailer that's been reguarly on the road.Outer skin polished in 2016 still looks great after living in the low humidity of New Mexico.Twin beds were removed in favor of a single queen size 10 inch memory foam bed with loads of under bed stowage.The Goucho couch up front was removed in favor of a custom AGM battery box, credenza and two swivel lounge chairs very comfy!



Rig includes lower aluminum rock guards along with plexiglass rock guards over the front wraparound windows.Painted roof with a white rubberized sealer material no leaks and cooler when hot. Installed new 3,600 TorFlex axles, drum brake assemblies, and shocks with new 16" aluminum wheels. 10 ply E rated tires new in 2021.Includes under A frame spare tire carrier with 16" aluminum rim. A 190 watt flat mounted solar panel on rear roof with Morning Star MPPT charge controller keeps AGMs topped off. Satellite receiver is mounted on roof forward of AC unit.Original curbside awning is in good condition. Included are 2 new Worthington 30 LPG tanks.Also includes a Reese weight distributing hitch with sway controller.



We've added 8 new OceanAire Roller blinds.

New Cork flooring.

Two 12vDC AGM batteries housed in custom made battery box.400 watt inverter powers up the satellite receiver.A Wizard battery tender installed between the charge controller and AGMs for perfect charging profile.A Surge Guard AC controller protects expensive AC accessories from damage. Factory electric control panel on the front overhead compartment functions well.

All interior lighting fixtures and most external lights are LED.

Three heat sources can be selected. If boon docking off the grid, rig is heated with either the new Suburban furnace or the LPG Catalytic heater, or both.The heat strip within the Coleman AirCon unit takes the chill off also.The Coleman Mach 8 "low profile" 13.5BTU air conditioner unit is very quiet and efficient.A new Fantasic Fan, with remote control and LED light, is another upgrade in main living area.The original Fantastic Fan in the rear sleeping area is in good order.

Granite looking Corrian synthetic countertops match throughout rig.Large stainless steel sinks are upgrades in galley and head.Galley lower cabinets feature IKEA slide out drawers for flatware and cooking tools.Convection microwave oven in galley.Custom pull out cutting board to give additional food preparation area.New SureFlow water pump just installed last month.Atwood LPG/AC water heater with power control switch located in head.New Thetford porcelain toilet with sprayer.New stainless steel low flow shower head with shut off switch to save water while showering.

Factory carpet replaced with real cork flooring. Its really warm and comfortable underfoot easy to keep clean as well. Includes two lounge chairs instead of the Goucho couch.An oak "cradenza" was added on front bulkhead for stowage purposes.The custom battery box serves as magazine rack below the credenza.



We've removed the factory twin beds in favor of a queen size similar to newer model Airstreams.The custom made steel bed frame is hinged and supported by gas pistons that assist in raising the bed to access storage bins below.The mattress is a memory foam type that's 10" thick and very comfortable.We use an AC electric heating pad with separate left/right controllers on top of the mattress very cozy.



Its being sold to make room for our "new to us" 27 foot FB Tommy Bahama.Please feel to contact us directly should you have any specific questions.Many more photos available on request.Reasonable offers considered.

Exactly the year and model we had back in the 1990's, with a rear corner bed. Will you be adding photos to the ad?

Good luck with the new 27' . . .

That process, including support, can take a while according to a recent thread. No worries IMO.

Welcome to the forum, Kevin. Your best bet is to go to the classified ad via the link at the bottom of the first post, and hit "Message Seller" on the right edge of that page. Your message will be sent directly, in a way that the seller has agreed to.

Good luck.
