Wynn set out to find an Airstream for as little money as possible while I set out to find a job. She perused local RV dealerships and the RV Trader and yes, finally Craig's List. We wanted something that was big, big enough for our things and for us to live in without killing each other, but we didn't have much money. Finally near the end of October, just after I landed my dream job, she found a 1972 Airstream International Sovereign Land Yacht, it was thirty- two feet long and had lots of storage, but most importantly it was cheap. The seller's son had been living in it on his property and it sounded like a good deal, that and it was starting to get really cold at night.
So we drove out to a small town I affectionately call Hooterville to take a look. At the end of several winding washout dirt roads, there she sat in all of her shiny aluminum glory in the driveway begging us to take her home. We did a quick walk through to get a feel for the layout and Wynn asked all sorts of questions, while I was too enamored with the idea of owning an Airstream to ask questions of my own.
Did the fridge work? Yes, but only on propane.
Did the forced air furnace work? Yes, well maybe.
Did the air conditioner work? Yes.
Did the hot water heater work? Yes, definitely. (Um no, it actually didn't.)
Sold! For $3,500, what a deal, and yes it was a very good deal and actually still is. In fact that is the selling price when we sell it, hopefully soon. I will post when we put it up for sale.
