There is nothing ordinary about Tiffany Blue, the 1971 Airstream Sovereign. After years of weekend warrior work and professional repairs, she is 31 feet of charm, personality and fun, ready for glamping or life as an Airbnb. A previous owner had torn out the sofa, table, RV toilet and the lower back bathroom wall. So, we had to reimagine and recreate and/or replace those things. We removed the old, worn countertop and replaced it so that it would match the new Tiffany (teal) Blue color scheme. All of the original cabinetry remains, which is one of the things I love about this trailer. There is SO MUCH storage that takes advantage of those wonderful Airstream curves! This unit is easily ready to live in, hit the road in, or park in your backyard as a short-term rental or mother-in law space.
Here is the list of other items we replaced: Dometic dual power refrigerator, Dometic microwave/convection oven, hot water heater, Zip Dee awning, shower head, shower track, plumbing, overhead and wall lighting fixtures, furnace, mattresses, rebuilt center pull out bed, drapes, propane tank fitting, towing cable, battery, bumper, screens, window levers, backsplash and floors.
We DIDN’T replace cabinets, sinks, range, louvered doors, center bed, doors, windows, bathtub, interior walls, air conditioner, and all of the wonderful hooks, odd corners and wonderful Airstream curves that make this ungutted trailer so unique. So, in short, we took out what was gross, broken, or unfixable. We kept or renovated the unique pieces that make her who she is. She is nice and shiny from being buffed, but doesn’t have a mirror finish. There is one dent in the rear.
The interior design is fun and colorful with teal and touches of yellow and bits of silver, chrome and crystal for shine and glam. I brought in lots of vintage and reproduction items that fit the mid-mod design, from a vintage teal thermos set and serving bowl, to a vintage Dazey Ice crusher and juicer, to a reproduction clock and wall art. The drapes were reconstructed by hand.
The kitchen is fully stocked down to spices, dishes, pots utensils, and towels. There are two sleeping/sitting areas, one for two adults and the center bed for two kids or one adult. The dining area seats four. The bathroom with a nice sized-shower and tub is in the back. We installed some cool glass tile and a metal wall for some modern detail and to replace the wall. Just pack your clothes and food and you’re down the road!

Send and receive payment safely.

Consider these tips in order to send or receive payment safely.

  • If an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is! Maintain a healthy skepticism.
  • Verify the Buyer or Seller’s identity. Do addresses and names match up in public records or directories? Even better is to meet the seller in person in a safe place.
  • Be cautious of an individual posing as an “agent” representing a buyer or seller, or when dealing with someone outside your country.
  • Do not make a purchase only from photos. A photo does not verify the existence of an item. See the item in person.
  • If using an escrow service for payment of the transaction, verify that it is a reliable service. Never go to an escrow service site via a link in an email. Always go directly to the site, by typing in the URL. Do not use an escrow service recommended by the seller.
  • Fraud deals may involve shipping, wire transfers, overpayment or cashiers checks. Unusual requests involving the transaction may be a signal of a potential scam.
  • Do not wire money for any transaction whether you are a buyer or seller without first verifying the identity of the person you are dealing with.
  • Do not wire money for any transaction that initially began with an overpayment or to pay a shipper or pick up agent.
  • If presented with an “invoice” from PayPal or other payment service, verify it is genuine.
  • Use your best judgment in all transactions.
  • Report suspected fraudulent activity to [email protected]

Recommendations For Buyers

Know the vehicle’s market value

Be very suspicious of any vehicle priced significantly below market value. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Confirm contact information

Verify the seller’s physical address and phone number BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT. Zip codes, area codes and addresses should match up.

Use email wisely

Do not send personal or financial information (such as your social security number, credit card number or checking account number) to a seller via email. Email communications are not secure.

Do not use money transfer services, such as Western Union to pay for online purchases

Even Western Union recommends against using their service or similar services to pay for online purchases. Be cautious about any seller who will only accept a money transfer.

If using an escrow service for payment, make sure it is a reputable, valid escrow service

Some buyers, purchasing outside their local area, may consider using an escrow service. If so, make sure it is a legitimate service. Go directly to the website of the escrow service. Do NOT go to an escrow service through a link in the seller’s e-mail or use a service based on a referral from the seller. Check the web address to make sure you are at the valid website.

Get a detailed receipt

Ask the seller for a receipt that states whether the Airstream is being sold with a warranty or “as is.”

Get title to the vehicle

Make sure you know what’s required in your state to transfer title to the vehicle you’re buying.

Recommendations For Buyers

Confirm contact information

Be wary of buyers willing to purchase your item sight-unseen, especially buyers located overseas. Always verify the buyer’s street address and valid phone number.

Verify that a certified check is genuine

Verify authenticity with the issuing bank prior to depositing a certified check. Make sure the account contains sufficient funds and the issuing bank guarantees payment on the check. Once deposited in your account, it may take a week or more for the check to clear. Acceptance by your bank does not guarantee the check is valid and funds are available. A cashier’s check can take 30 days or more to clear.

Secure payment first

Do not transfer the title until you have payment in hand at the agreed upon price (and you have verified that the payment is valid.

Beware of overpayment or other complicated payment schemes

Do not agree to any plan where the buyer asks to send a check for more than the sale price and requests that the seller refund the difference. Be suspicious of any buyer who proposes making payment through a friend or agent of the buyer.

How to Report Fraud

File a report. File a report at www.ic3.gov with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the Bureau of Justice Administration (BJA). IC3 gives victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism. IC3 in turn alerts authorities by referring reports to the correct law enforcement or regulatory agencies at the federal, state, local and international level.

Let us know about it. If you receive a suspicious email, report it to Trader Interactive immediately. Forward the email to [email protected] Do not change the subject line or send it as an attachment. Simply forward the suspicious email message to us. We will contact you if we need additional information.
