Subject:Friday NVC...Argosy trailer, similar to Vanagon

Hi all,

  Please forgive the Friday Spam...In order to refurbish my 84 vanagon's
tranny, I am selling another fine piece of camping equipment....a 1972
Argosy/Airstream trailer.   These trailers are about as different from a
normal RV as the Vanagon Westfalia is different from what you can buy now
as camper vans...
   After almost 40yrs,  almost all the stuff still works perfectly.   Light
and tight...

.Yeah, there are no "tip-outs" or extra sliding rooms, nor no washing
machines, but the door handles don't snap off and the frames don't bend and
rot...
  anyhow, below is an ad I stuck in Craig's List...Some of us here like old
stuff that works, and I will be using the money from this Argosy to rebuild
the transmission of my Vanagon, so there IS some vanagon content....The
Argosy and Airstreams are selling for big bucks now, just like Vanagons
seem to be...this one is located about 70 miles east of Portland, Oregon....
