Description
For sale is a gorgeous 1978 Airstream Argosy, fully functioning and ready to hit the road. We've remodeled the interior and upgraded the kitchen and sleeping area to a modern classy look with lovely pink accents that fit perfectly with a retro vibe. This retro camper is fitted with modern components, including solar panels, 200 amp hour Lithium Battery and Renology Charge Controller for off grid camping, and brand new on-demand propane water heater and stove.
We are selling for few but important reasons. While we love this Argosy and took the time to customize it to our family of six, it is perfect for us; we are looking to purchase a home put down some roots.

It has taken us to many great destinations, and have amazing memories in Crater Lake, Mt Ranier, Cascades, Banff, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Grand Tetons. Before heading out on this amazing trip, we put our time, heart, and energy renovating it. This Argosy holds a special place in our hearts, and it will be a bitter sweet goodbye.
