Lilo the Argosy

Lilo the Argosy

Meet Lilo, our 1974 26′ Argosy. 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

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.

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.
• Approximately 4,000 lbs
• 26′ long
• 1974 Argosy made by Airstream
• 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
• Black and gray holding tanks
• Fresh water holding tank and pump
• Comes with propane gas tanks
• Electric tongue jack
• Built-in stabilizing jacks
• Awning

For Sale?

With much sadness and hesitation, we are considering selling Lilo. Due to other things we have going on in life right now, we haven’t had the time to camp as much as we would like. We’re open to the possibility of selling if the right buyer comes along. Are you interested? Feel free to leave a comment, reach out to me on Instagram or via email: [email protected]

!!UPDATE!! THIS TRAILER HAS NOW SOLD

We made a lot of updates to Lilo, but there is a lot left to do. I would call this a renovation in progress. She is definitely usable but rough around the edges.

What still needs to be done or fixed:

• Oven/stove not usable
• Flooring not finished/trimmed out

Original features still in working order:

• Sinks
