Considering buying an Airstream

Yeah, the information on it is sort of sketchy at the moment. We're waiting to hear back from the guy on whether it's still available or not. $2500 is a pretty damned good price, though, and we could put a lot of work into it and still recoup costs, I think.

If you're handy: fixing electrical (there's 110v as well as 12v systems in there), brake and wheel bearings, water lines, and woodwork items are doable.

If you get the chance to look at it though, you want to check for signs of rain leaks, appliance failures (especially fridges), or holding tank leakage. Those can get expensive.
