So I have what could be an amazing opportunity. My husband and I have been looking into Airstreams/Argos for months now, and discovered that a decent one (no rot, etc) is hard to come by. We pretty much gave up.
Recently, a relative offered us a free 1976(?) Argosy 26', with twin beds w/bunks, sleeps eight, and I believe they bought it new. However, it's been sitting in their driveway for about ten years, and I'm told the tires are cracked, and that it has mold and mice. I have yet to see it, since they live about 3 hours away. Of course, in the 70's, it was sweet, but it's been a while.
So my question is, at worst, what am I getting into here? We're both mechanically handy and don't mind putting work into it, but what kind of cost/time are we looking at to get it up to snuff? I'm not talking silver plated everything here, just serviceable for a family of four to take on road trips and camping. What's the approximate cost of gutting it, if that's what it takes? Thanks in advance!
