With so many folks downsizing and living full time RV, it's the perfect time for Airstream to re-introduce the smaller Class A. I would love to have one. Perfect size for one old woman and her dog.
Sadly, smaller RVs are not cheaper RVs. You can get a decent amount of ~5 meter long RV here in germany, but they cost a fortune and are far from a bargain compaired to a 6 or 7 meter one. We were looking for an Oasi 540 and the range from 55.000 to 70.0000€, which is just ridiculus for a two-person-rv.
I loved to hear the excitement in your voice when showing this unit. It is lovely and so well preserved. Nice to see so many of the original items still remaining. Thank you for the tour.
I just bought a 1995 Dodge Roadtrek 190 V, and that front swing around seat conversion to dining room and bed is almost exactly the same. Even my front table has those extensions on each side. Mine is also completely original , (even the original shower curtain!) and I just purchased it from the original owner. Thank you so much! Very cool to see this🥰🚙💚
I’ve got a 74 Argosy from Versailles! Great vintage interior still. A ‘73 Sovereign from California too. Would be awesome the meet someone who built them.
What a piece of history! I can see how much you love these vintage vans. This was well built. I'm surprised it does not have a built-in vacuum cleaner and blender! Such a piece of history. Thank you for the detailed tour, marvelous!
Patrick, you give the best tours. This unit is a great size, and it's built with quality and durability in mind. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see it.
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures We SHARE your excitement 🎊🎉 & we're IMPRESSED by your knowledge.💡 Thx a bunch for the HISTORY lesson! I hope this sweetheart of a classic, finds a LOVING worthy new owner who with RESTORE it to its original glory and NOT RENOVATE it to CURRENT decor. God Bless!💙
I'm digging that 70's look, I think that color was called burnt orange.. Back then we had harvest gold, avocado green and burnt orange, those were pretty much the colors of the 70's...reminds me of my youth
1975! The year I got married! I think I could even get passed the burnt orange interior. Beautiful coach! I’d have that in s heartbeat!! Thanks for sharing it Patrick. It’s truly a piece of American history.
Thank you, for such a great demo! Those rigs made into hearses were definitely unique. Back in the mid-70s, when the GMC Class 'A' was around, a company named Hess & Eisenhardt, custom-built an ambulance, which was designed for long transports, in comfort.
I so enjoy your enthusiasm for the Airstream/Argosy products. You've toured and filmed dozens and dozens of the Airstream products for years and you still sound so excited about them. Thanks for these wonderful videos!
I absolutely love that rv. So vintage. I love vintage because that’s when family vacations where so old school. Brings back so many good memories. I would so buy that rv if i could. It’s amazing.
Wow. What a find! Nice to see your excitement. You understand and appreciate the design and history. Great of you to document this model. (Kudos to your camera person who seamlessly followed your demonstration and kept everything in the frame )
Absolutely awesome! Love seeing these old motor homes. I hope it finds someone to care for it and preserve its history. I have to take exception to the description of it being the smallest class A though since I own a 1970 Starcraft Starliner 19 ft. ;)
Just Wow!! the workmanship and style and charm of this vehicle is outstanding. Really appreciate your hard work in covering this and going through each and every detail. I am really happy watching this. Any modern camping van is no match to the quality, style and detail on this one. Really look forward for more of classic builds.
Obviously the owners took good care of it and kept the seals good a lot of airstreams interiors rot out because the seals go bad on the seams, windows, and other penetration areas.
Great to see your passion and enthusiasm for this vintage Airstream. Fun to watch, and your excitement is contagious! Thanks for another top-notch video!
Fell on one of your videos again - your really good at what you do, and I can tell it’s a passion - plus your handsome & it’s a pleasure to watch you and hear your soothing voice, your choice of clothing and the different styles you choose makes a complete package - your thorough walks throughs & knowledge of RVs is top notch and really informs the RV enthusiast!😊
This has such space age ingenuity and care in its construction. Fantastic! I wish there were more of them available or more in this size from other manufacturers.
Thanks for showing this MH! I have always loved these! A fellow WBCCI friend of mine had one of these - It was quite the party mobile! Loved it! Later, someone else in our chapter bought a 20' Airstream version with the rear twins. Both were great!!! We had a 345 that we adored. We have an Interstate now and love it also (bought in NJ - wink), but I still miss the 345! Loved driving and hanging out in the 345 and love the 20 footers! That dinette is wicked cool!
Finally! I’ve been looking for an in depth Argosy 20 video. Thank you! I like the version without the dinette up front and with the pub chair and fold out table instead. I have a 1976 dodge chinook 18 plus. Rear door entry, the twin 6 foot sofa model where one sofa can become a dinette. It runs great, all original and in good shape, and all systems work.

That thing was mint, just needed upholstery and a service tune up and it's ready to go. I was kinda hoping you would buy this one. I could tell you loved it. Those swivel bench seats were amazing. I wish they still did that
Thank you for the tour. Rare to see functioning original interiors. Just started my renovation of a 78 28ft Argosy that came with no interior at all. Seeing the tamber doors is cool.
Hi Gloria again. I just wish i had the money to buy this Home love love love this Home on Wheel's I really do . Gloria.Saving on a budget lol but very true.It is so special and so awesome and amazing. Thank you Patrick for showing all of us this Beautiful Mobile Home.
I am totally impressed with the build quality and its condiition. The engine and transmission are pretty much bullet proof if properly maintained. Thanks for the review Patrick!
Wicked cool The refrigerator being an absorption unit is wild Being in HVAC I’ve only seen the small ones once in person kid who worked with me for a summer had it as his A/C Definitely a company that took pride in seeing that their products Would last the test of time Not a disposable society Thanks for being us along
I originally thought Fleetwood modeled my Pace Arrow Eleganza after the 70's GMC motor homes but after seeing this video they may have also been competing with Airstream for the aero body RV market. This Argosy definitely scores high in the Classic RV spotlight. 👌
Woowwww 😱 I would have been as excited as you to tour this rig in such good condition!! I can smell the nicotine and the powdered Tang oj just looking at that orange shag carpet 😛 I wonder how much it sold for, the lucky buyer got himself a rare piece of history! 🤗 thank you for the detailed tour 🤗 Edit: the very next day after watching this video, I spotted another Argosy downtown Vancouver on Hastings street! 😱 since you said there’s only 200, what are the odds?? It was white with blue lines and a tad beat up, but clearly driveable, with a cool-looking older hippie gent with grey long hair driving it 😎
Great video and motor home! Unrelated, I’ve been wondering about the camper that you picked up and was working on. Would love to see a progress video on it sometime. Thanks for the videos you make. With your knowledge you are able to ask questions that others would not think of.
Thank you for producing this historic look at a super RV. This is so impressive and I’m glad I had the chance to see it through your descriptive presentation. I’ll certainly be on the lookout next time out on the road.
Damn, wish I could afford it, he'll make a small fortune on it, that's for sure, we just bought a small, very small, aliner, we haven't been able to use it yet, looking forward it. But that looks more like us!!😖
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures how much is he asking, I know you said it's on ebay, and people bid on it, but how high do you think? Maybe in a future video you could say? I really like that, it's so groovy!!
Back then they made him strong today they made with fiberglass and cheap material.. I usually will not buy a RV of the day they made very cheap for that crap.. but I do love your Ford Van is awesome. .
Patrick has got to be the MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE AIRSTREAM GUY IN the WORLD! I have met him personally and what a great person to talk to and listen to, he treats every single person with respect and takes his time with them, NEVER rushing them. There is a reason why he is sooooo successful as an AIRSTREAM salesman, THE BEST in the business. Great Video here Patrick.
I love old camper/airstream vehicles. But you had me flinching every time you randomly banged on things. lol Thankful the current owner allowed you to give it a showoff!
I remember my grand parents used their friends motor home exactly like this one to go to Arizona one winter, but they didn't stay because they said it was too cold for their "Florida bones", as they said. But they were intrigued by the idea that they could travel in their own home.
A little gentle on opening or closing things in there please You will rarely find a spare part if you broke something And that's a piece of history that you touch
Yep freaked me out how rough he was with someone else's vintage motorhome and I doubt the owner would be pleased 🧐 probably going over the video with their attorney 🤣 no really 😟
Dude! I absolutely love the vintage 70s look of the interior! I think that’s one of the biggest appeals to buying an old school motor home like this 1974 Airstream. I would hate for someone to buy this vehicle and delete the 1970s out of it only to modernize the interior. If that’s the case than they should just buy a new motor home. But man oh man am I in love with this rig! Growing up my uncle had one of the 70s GMC models and our family had a total blast every time we went camping with him. Looking at this vehicle brings back so many great memories! Thanks to everyone who shared this. As always this has been a great video and I look forward to seeing the next one! Cheers!
@@skapunkoialternativeliving6522 the LS is the engine that they have been putting in chevy trucks for the last 20 years. Incredibly reliable engines that can make gobs of power with little effort. I put one in a vintage rv and its been amazing. Look up LS swap on you tube.

I agree!!!
I COULD LIVE IN IT NO PROBLEM
Yes, perfect size for me to do solo full timing. I wish these were in production again too.
Had one of those back in the day. Loved it. Wish they still made them.
Even though I'm 81 I would buy another one.

The Argosys were built in my hometown Versailles Ohio. Had many friends that worked there.

Holy crap bro. I think that looks like the RV from Ben 10. Dude, you are a living legend in my book bro.

Just watched the video in the UK this morning what a great van .So advanced for a van for that age .Excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it
I think if they make some new ones like that, it will be a hit,,
Just a suggestion, 😉😉😉
True
If they built those today it would have to be about a half million $.
It's all junk these days.😮
I am so excited over this motorhome. It needs cosmetics but it's a class A, 20 foot. How amazing !!!
Woowwww 😱 I would have been as excited as you to tour this rig in such good condition!! I can smell the nicotine and the powdered Tang oj just looking at that orange shag carpet 😛

Damn, wish I could afford it, he'll make a small fortune on it, that's for sure, we just bought a small, very small, aliner, we haven't been able to use it yet, looking forward it. But that looks more like us!!😖
Thank you for checking this out Susan
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures how much is he asking, I know you said it's on ebay, and people bid on it, but how high do you think? Maybe in a future video you could say? I really like that, it's so groovy!!
This would be a GOAT of #vanlife if Airstream started production on a modern version of this. Thank you for you video.
Back then they made him strong today they made with fiberglass and cheap material.. I usually will not buy a RV of the day they made very cheap for that crap.. but I do love your Ford Van is awesome. .
Thanks man.
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures you'll definitely more than welcome my friend by the way I'll be ready by the end of summer..
Patrick has got to be the MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE AIRSTREAM GUY IN the WORLD! I have met him personally and what a great person to talk to and listen to, he treats every single person with respect and takes his time with them, NEVER rushing them. There is a reason why he is sooooo successful as an AIRSTREAM salesman, THE BEST in the business. Great Video here Patrick.
I love old camper/airstream vehicles. But you had me flinching every time you randomly banged on things. lol Thankful the current owner allowed you to give it a showoff!
Thank you for checking this out
Haha you are like me...he was really ROUGH on stuff...i was wincing too!😮
Old vintage rare things you treat gently!
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!! Would Love to buy the travel camper you're showing. What a Gem!!!
Thank you Sue
I remember my grand parents used their friends motor home exactly like this one to go to Arizona one winter, but they didn't stay because they said it was too cold for their "Florida bones", as they said. But they were intrigued by the idea that they could travel in their own home.
Oh wow awesome feedback
That is a FANTASTIC motorhome!
Thanks for showing it.
Our pleasure!
It’s perfect
I agree
I have a ‘77 28ft argosy and one of my favorite feature is the vista windows above the sofa/dinette. One of many neat things.
A little gentle on opening or closing things in there please
You will rarely find a spare part if you broke something
And that's a piece of history that you touch
Sorry 😞
Yep freaked me out how rough he was with someone else's vintage motorhome and I doubt the owner would be pleased 🧐 probably going over the video with their attorney 🤣 no really 😟
Agree, this bozo shouldn’t be let near anything old. What a jerk.
Yeah, that was fun looking at such a vintage RV. Enjoyed the video! Thanks!
❤️💜💚
Thank you Paige
Got one of these we've been trying to sell!
How much and where??♥️??
Great tour as always and I’m always amazed at just how knowledgeable you are!
Thank you very much Kelly
Your jean jacket fits well with the van. Did you plan on that?
Thanks. I didn’t but now I get it
Dude! I absolutely love the vintage 70s look of the interior! I think that’s one of the biggest appeals to buying an old school motor home like this 1974 Airstream. I would hate for someone to buy this vehicle and delete the 1970s out of it only to modernize the interior. If that’s the case than they should just buy a new motor home. But man oh man am I in love with this rig! Growing up my uncle had one of the 70s GMC models and our family had a total blast every time we went camping with him. Looking at this vehicle brings back so many great memories! Thanks to everyone who shared this. As always this has been a great video and I look forward to seeing the next one! Cheers!
It would be BLASPHEMY to "modernize" that BEAUTIFUL thing❗
That is awesome I would update the engine and make it fuel injected.. and get rid of the carburetor..
Good call
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures definitely my friend love the video awesome I'll definitely living that but your van is nicer though...
I would drop a LS in it
@@MAGA-kw3ol what is an Ls my friend
@@skapunkoialternativeliving6522 the LS is the engine that they have been putting in chevy trucks for the last 20 years. Incredibly reliable engines that can make gobs of power with little effort. I put one in a vintage rv and its been amazing. Look up LS swap on you tube.
