Condition

This trailer has been babied, but it is still a used Airstream and has a few small cosmetic signs of use.

There are a couple of tiny, barely noticeable dings on the rear exterior that predate my ownership. They are smaller than a shirt button and not something I would personally worry about, but I want to be transparent.

There is also a small ding near the door where a previous owner appears to have left the deadbolt key in the lock when opening the door.

There are some small spots of oxidation near the belt line from time spent in Southern California. This is common on Airstreams and has been treated with Corrosion X.

One dinette window screen, closest to the TV, is currently removed. I removed it intentionally to make it easy to pass things in and out of the trailer at the beach. I have the spline, and it is an easy fix if you want the screen reinstalled.

Slight creak near the foot of the bed

Why this one stands out

I personally prefer the 2016–2020 era Airstreams, and when I buy my next one, that is the range I will be looking at again.

• You also get the extras: receipts for major work, owner’s manual, two sets of keys, hitch locks, and various spare parts/bits that are useful to have.
