Argosy for Sale
With much sadness and hesitation, Lilo, our 1974 26′ Argosy is officially for sale. We love Lilo so much. She is everything I wanted in a small vintage trailer; lightweight, easy to tow, tons of character, and room for our large family. The Argosy was made by Airstream for a brief period of time in the late 70s and 80s. You can read more about their fascinating history here: Argosy history.
*UPDATE: THIS TRAILER HAS SOLD

Here are a few details about Lilo:
- Sleeps our family of 7, but it’s tight! There are 2 “full” size beds and 3 “twin” size beds, but I put the sizes in quotations because they are not exactly standard sizes, they are RV sizes.

- Bathroom with toilet, sink and small shower
- Kitchen has sink and gas oven/stove that is not currently operational
- Refrigerator/freezer in working order
- Air conditioner and hot water heater all work
- Comes with battery and 12v convertor

- Fresh water holding tank and pump
- Comes with propane gas tanks

Updates
We made a lot of updates to Lilo, but there is more that could be done. I would call this a partial renovation. If I were to keep her, my plan was to remove the original oven and sink and put in new cabinets. She is definitely old and full of character, which is why I hope the right person comes along that will appreciate the vintage charm.
What we have done so far:
- Brand new tires
- New exterior paint and sealant
- All new flooring
- Interior paint
- A recovered cushion on the original sofa
- Portions of original cabinets were removed to create room for bunk beds
- Brand new hot water heater
- Tub refinished
- Countertops refinished
- Cabinets painted
- New light fixtures
- Water pump replaced
- New gas tanks and regulator
- Brand new power lift jack installed
What still needs to be done or fixed:
- The furnace does not work
- Oven/stove not usable
Original features in working order:
- Refrigerator
- Sinks
- Shower
- Black/gray tank
- Water holding tank
- All original windows
- Original awning
- Roof air-conditioning

I’m not certain why you have this listed on Facebook as located in Apoka if you live in metroDetroit. Having attended Wayne State and originally from Jackson, I know that’s at least 1300 miles from here.
