We decided to downsize from our Airstream Classic Excella 1000 (34 ft) to smaller trailer after having thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful Airstream since our purchase in 2012. We are the second owners and have done many upgrades and kept up on the maintenance required to keep this Airstream Classic in excellent condition. Standard features include all side awnings, dual 30 lb aluminum propane tanks with automatic tank selector, queen rear berth with upgraded dense memory foam mattress, Fantastic Vent remote/automatic fan, all original Zip Dee folding chairs, Airstream-brand lounge chair, dual heat systems (ducted propane and electric heat pump/air conditioning) , Dometic DC/propane refrigerator/freezer, raised panel solid oak cabinetry.
This is a well-built classic and it pulls like a dream with the three axles running gear. It comes with an equalizing hitch with sway stabilizer.
Here are the upgrades we’ve completed::
2019-2020:
New wood flooring, new bath, shower and kitchen fixtures, all LED lighting both interior and exterior , new cabinet hardware, new combo microwave/convection/air fry oven, new house batteries, new smart TV, professionally refinished exterior with new decals (see Special Note below)
2021:
New tires, new smart AC/DC battery charger/converter
Special Note: After working endlessly to restore/maintain the exterior and remove oxidation, we had the exterior professionally refinished in 2018 with an industrial fleet truck paint. We selected a silver metallic color that does not duplicate the “polished” aluminum, but achieved a “classic” appearance. The exterior finish was done by a reputable fleet truck painting company recommended by Airstream of Spokane and the finish is now nearly maintenance free. All Airstream decals were replaced. If you are looking for a nearly maintenance-free exterior that yet looks classic, this is it. If you want only the aluminum look, then this is not the trailer for you.
Contact Seller
Consider these tips in order to send or receive payment safely.
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.
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.
