I as well. I bought it to live in while I had a house built. I only paid 3500 for it and it was in rough shape. I put 8k recently after being parked for 17 years and drove it to Florida from New Mexico and back to New Mexico. Very comfortable trip. So glad I kept it. I had several offers on it and some very generous offers but I’ve grown very attached to it and I would consider buying another one but I can’t see parting with this one. They are very interesting and unique. I did all the work myself and it’s been very rewarding. I’m fixing to pull the radiator and get a new core put in it. Still has the original radiator but electrolysis has ate it up. And I’m planning a trip to Michigan this fall. The P30 chassis is pretty durable from the 80s. Still runs real strong and the banks power pack is a plus to.

Opinion Matters my 2013 probably won’t be.... or if it is, it’s because I’ve spent thousands switching out the cheaply made stuff. The dinette cushions very cheap, needed to replace every cushion in the thing. The steps into the coach are the steel garbage they use on all other RVs and you can’t switch them out for the aluminum ones they used to have because the opening is too wide. The windows used to be wrapped with metal and now they are not there’re just a single piece of glass.... The interior of airstreams used to have a vinyl coating on everything inside and now it’s just bear shiny aluminum.... Today you’re lucky to get 1/2 of what you pay for.

My parents had a newer model with a Diesel engine, same Nutone food processor and a rear bedroom with a shower-over-bathtub and sliding door (glass or Plexi). They had a TV, antenna and hookups for their laptop. Some of the lighting was fluorescent. They used to take it on the road for the whole summer (sometimes into October) and go on Airstream Caravans with a group of other Airstreamers and take over RV parks and public fields, by means of an itinerary, moving on to the next one and doing the same. Sometimes they'd go on one tour and pick up another on the way to friends and family. This was during the time when Caravan meant something else.

That was forty years ago and I never saw one of these. I worked on many different makes of trailers and we did have some Argosy motorhomes, I don't think they were doing Airstream motorhomes in 1975 and 1976 and why I didn't see one. The dealer I worked for was the largest in the Chicago area so.................... Their reputation was deserved and even then, every now and then one would come in for repair that had been lived in and you can tell the difference.

12::11 - I absolutely love that steering wheel. They made it like an airplane steering wheel and the dash looks like a cockpit with the round dials of vintage aircraft. So lovely! This is an excellent tour, Patrick. Worthy of this regal motorhome. Nothing comes close to an Airstream that was built like Apple computers and iphones today. If only it were shorter for today's travel-ability. 16:30 - In case anyone feels the need to have instant hot water for beverages, please don't. Keeping water in a heated state, depletes the oxygen in it and damages the water quality you take in. Heat it the old fashioned way on a stove and never let it overboil. 19:00 - Actually, the original Dometic fridges from that era had black glassy panels with a gorgeous vintage steel handle. I love that look. Too bad they changed the look on this fridge. The handle was sublime. It is very easy to change the front panels of these fridges - two screws in the top frame of door and the thin panel slides out. Mine was vinyl covered in a wood look which was super ugly like this one. I flipped it around and got real luan plywood on back side 1/8" thick. I finely sanded it, oiled, and polyurethaned (heavily diluted) so it looks like a hand rubbed finish. Now it is beautiful real wood paneling. You can also paint it white or any color, or use blackboard paint, or stick dry erase paper, or steel panel. I would advise against anything too glossy including very polished metal as it will give off a glare. 22:03 - If you look at the cabinet handles you can tell the era easily. The 1980s all had the brass with wood insert type handles. Today in the 2020's we like the modern long steel cylinder with the two feet, no brass, all stainless steel. The handles, steering wheel, black fridge, and globe lights on mirrors are so 1980's! Just lovely. You can redo those handles by stripping, sanding wood, polishing the brass, then oiling the wood and polyurethane over everything. This seals up the wood and prevents tarnish on shiny brass. You can also oxidize the brass if you want a somber look. The solid oak cabinets are such good quality - no vinyl woodgrain paper on MDF like today. Lovely tour, thanks Patrick!

I know nothing about RVs, but I am impressed at the build quality and materials, and how it has held up for 30 years. Looks like you could drive away and use it as, or even be worth investing small money into modernizing a little. I hope it went to a good family who used it and took care of it. I just bought a camper trailer this year. I was so unimpressed with the build quality for the money I spent.

I wonder how much it was in the day. 2 of my studios after downsized had nothing. Shared bath and kitchen. First 10 x 15 , 2nd 9x11 . Everthing in past better made. I have 9 vintage sewing machines and now teach. Those vintage is from 1919 to 1960s but beautiful and work! And i can fix myself! Love seeing the retro RVs. I also share slides. We had a fifth wheel and slide broke twice. Thanks for detailed video.

Patrick, nice job as usual! After viewing the ‘73 - ‘78 GMC Motorhomes, that Airstream borrowed quite a few of their concepts from them, e.g. front and rear panoramic windows, awning, dual tires with independent suspension, sans the axles (the GMC had an inflatable air suspension, not sure if Airstream had it or not), interior screen door, folding table that folds and stowed away, etc...
