Since purchasing in mid-2016, I’ve made the following improvements:
-C-head composting toilet installed to replace RV toilet
-Ceramic heater installed to replace propane heater
-New tires & spare
-Gas leak repaired & new LP tanks and hoses installed

Being sold AS IS
A few repairs currently need to be made:
-A water pipe under the bathroom leaks when connected to city water. It will need to be repaired in order to have running water.
-A new battery converter will need to be installed to allow the battery to recharge when plugged into city power.

Potential opportunity to rent the backyard space where the Airstream is currently parked in SE Portland.

    It seems to me that for a professionally renovated trailer it appears to have a 70s era coppertone stove/oven. just wondering….

    the new owner might want to install a PRESSURE REGULATOR for the water pressure, just in case that was the cause of the failure of the existing hose, since many campgrounds and cities have extremely high pressure that is hard on hoses and pipes.
