When I retire, I've been wanting to buy a used Airstream as a project, something that needs a little work, clean it up and redo the interior, then take it wherever the fish are for a year or two or three.


Plan B is to get a nice used Lance instead (been told by several buddies that Lance is the best bang for your buck).

This is my dream. I have a separate retirement account set up for the Airstream and tow vehicle.

Yeah, same.


I found an Airstream on EBay once, 35-ft I think, for around $35,000. Some guy had the same dream, ripped out most of the interior, redid the wiring, then decided not to finish it and put it up for sale.

So, the thing was mostly just the outer shell, plus wiring, and the original plumbing, of course. That was more than ten years ago, so way too early for me to think about pulling the trigger on that one, but that's basically what I'll be looking for in the future.
