“Ruthie” has been lovingly restored. She comfortably sleeps 4 with 2 bunk beds and one foldout jacknife sofa.

Two new awnings, granite kitchen, new flooring, custom window trmts, new aluminum wheels, new tires, new aluminum propane tanks. Lots of storage. Lots of fun!

“Ruthie”, named for my mom is 50 years old. While a beauty, she’s not perfect. Not much in life is, which is why I’m looking for a new family for her. She looks great in my backyard,
but my life situation has changed and I don’t use her as I had planned. She’s too awesome to just sit.

I can tell you what I know for sure…
I purchased Ruthie from a nice gentleman that restored campers for a living. He told me that he was the second owner. He won a prestigious award for one restoration. His situation changed & he was selling his home & all five of his campers & moving south. He was half done with his work on Ruthie. I purchased her in spring of 2019. I finished what I felt was necessary (basically decor) and was ready to roll. The previous owner gave me the original owners manual, but it was unreadable. I purchased a new copy online.

Immediately after purchase I took her to an RV shop. Had her checked out head to toe & had them recommend & carry out repairs. I put new tires and aluminum wheels on her. Had brakes checked & replaced. Bearings packed, electrical system checked & all working.

I had a new floor installed & put it partially up the wall to reduce scuffs. The existing floor was fine, it was new…but ugly. Removed the fold out table to have more room. The ottoman is great for storage & functions nicely as a dining room table.

I had the jacknife sofa reupholstered ($1,200 just for labor, not including material). I’m an interior designer. Curtains were custom made. Put in new sink, faucet & granite countertops. This added 200 pounds to the original 6,200. So she tops out at 6,400 pounds.

I’m told it has a very nice electric jack system.

Since then put on two new awnings, two new aluminum propane tanks & propane hook ups.

Original Dometic fridge works fine, but leaks a little when in use. If I were using it regularly I would replace it. Clock, thermostat & goofy little electrical display above couch doesn’t work. My plan was to just take it out & make into a bookshelf or storage. I was also going to do a little grasscloth wallpaper, but try to find a wallpaper hanger these days:)

Heat & AC works GREAT!

A few interior light fixtures have been replaced and a few more need to be. Easy to do, just don’t have a person to do it anymore.

Original bathroom is big & lovely & everything works. I had planned to tile & update the bathroom but didn’t get to it.

TONS of storage!

A few window issues could/should be addressed, but no leaks. Again, I have no one to do it. All easy, peasy. Just above my pay grade.

I have been asked if the axles have been replaced. I of course, had no clue. So I had it inspected by a mechanic who said no, they are original but in very good shape. Said mechanic actually hooked her up to his half ton pickup & took her for a spin for an hour & I’m happy to report brought her back with flying colors. He said she pulled great!

Recently found out that she’s been polarized. Not meaning to sit for the winter. Ruthie, at sometime was completely encapsulated and insulated for winter use. You can look underneath and see.

Cannot find water intake key & I’ve had problems nailing this down. Not a big deal, just haven’t gotten it done.
Life gets in the way. I’ve purchased two & they don’t work, so I’m guessing it needs to be drilled out.

Recently, I reduced the price SUBSTANTIALLY. It is negotiable and Ruthie is being sold AS IS. As you know, it’s a crazy time. Many interested parties, but she’s still here. You & your people could be traveling in style THIS WEEKEND❤️

RUTHIE WOULD MAKE AN AMAZING AIRBNB & PAY FOR HERSELF!!!

My neighbors (whom I assumed would hate it, actually LOVE Ruthie).
And will be very unhappy if I sell her.
Me too, but I’m afraid to pull her by myself and would enjoy landscaping my back yard:)

Come take a look at Ruthie, I think you’ll be glad you did. My mechanic can/will be here when you do to answer any questions that I cannot.

FYI – At this very low price, the two outside chairs, metal table and awning lights are not included. Also, no interior pillows are included. Everything else shown comes with.

And yes, clear title.

HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!

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.
