PRICE DROP! 1977 Restored Airstream Argosy with modern vintage aesthetic

In 2009 country artist Miranda Lambert sang, “Sometimes I wish I lived in Airstream / Homemade curtains lit just like a gypsy / Break her heart and roll out of town / 'Cause gypsies never get tied down”. And so it will be for the next owner of this newly restored 24-foot 1977 Airstream Argosy with a rear door. A rare find indeed! The principal reason Airstreams are so sought over is the aluminum body they are so famous for. The shell of an airstream is made from a high-quality “aircraft grade” aluminum alloy riveted over a steel frame. This is insulated and then an inner shell of aluminum is riveted on from the inside. The customization goes a step further with this tiny house though. With a restored paint job on the exterior and a ton of modifications on the interior, it is the trailer that only pulls through in your dreams!



First of all, the THOW is an Argosy which is a cousin of the Airstream developed by Airstream then-president Chuck Manchester as a medium-priced trailer. They shared the aerodynamic aluminum structural design of the Airstream and featured an identical axle. This 1977 restored model was updated and built out with the consultation of a licensed contractor in the state of Oregon.

The outside of the trailer is a version of the original creamy white and dusty tan with maroon accent color scheme. It also has an awning that is perfectly reminiscent of the 1970s. The nostalgia pretty much ends there though as entry into the trailer take one directly into the bedroom/kitchen area. The bedroom has a -custom bed platform that fits a standard queen mattress and is supported by a hydraulic lift raise system for under-bed storage. There are built-in cubbies for additional storage just next to the bed. For those who sleep with their phone next to them or who like to work in bed, there are table-top outlets for charging devices right beside the bed. There is also a speaker system and a built-in shelf and projector screen for those perfect Netflix and binge lazy nights. To make sure you don’t buffer the night away, the trailer also has a newly mounted cell phone booster by King


If meal prep or entertaining is your passion, the kitchen features a new Dometic refrigerator that is ac/dc powered, as well as a new double sink and faucet. Before coming out of the faucet there is a new Acuva filter providing on-demand clean water. The kitchen also has custom cabinets, drawers, and a countertop. The original stove and oven are lovingly restored and there is an access panel for propane. Adding a touch of the modern, the kitchen features a control center for the battery monitor panel, water heater monitor, and water pump switch. Perhaps the coolest part of the kitchen though is the genuine vintage BoHo backsplash!

Just in the middle of the trailer is a comfortable entryway/seating area that features a full-length closet for hanging storage. There are bamboo hooks and retro wallpaper on the accent wall that leads into the custom dining nook that was built to accommodate a set of 1970s Cesca rattan chairs. If you work from home or just enjoy time at the computer, the Airstream has a convertible office space with a pullout desk and two drawers of storage. There is also a custom gold modern light by Lucent light shop.

At the opposite end of the tiny house on wheels is the bathroom, which has been remodeled for comfort including a new bathroom sink, a new flush commode, and renovated plumbing. The shower stays warm for as long as you can stand thanks to an on-demand hot water heater. There is also a new water pump in order to keep the Airstream off-grid.

Perhaps most importantly for this listing is that it comes with new custom white curtains with blackout fabric that snap to the walls. You need to hurry though. This listing will not last long.
