Life has changing seasons and soon I will be turning 72. Since my health is declining, the time has come for us to say goodby to “Our Humble Abode” which we have so thoroughly enjoyed. This beauty is a rare 2001 Excella Limited, 34 feet long. We are including our Eaz Lift hitch, which is rated at 15,000 pounds. It is more than adequate for safe towing. She tows smooth and easy. We had her serviced at Tampa Bay Airstream before our last trip to the Amana Colonies in Iowa. We spend $9,000.00. Today installed seven new Goodyear Endurance tires, which includes a new spare tire. The leather chairs are original, and amazingly comfortable. Two matching footstools are included. It is awesome to sit and watch the sun rise looking out the large windows in the front of the trailer sitting comfortably. Or turn them around and watch TV, or read, or…. She has two A/C units. The rear bedroom has a very comfortable queen size bed with a TV. In the hallway you will love the large, wood lined closet that has full length mirrors on the sliding doors. The shower is larger than many others you will find. The kitchen has double sinks and gas stove. The refrigerator with freezer is large for an RV. The overhead lights throughout were updated to LEDs by Tampa Bay Airstream. The propane tanks are aluminum. The radio with speakers throughout sounds awesome. There are three rear view cameras, one on each rear side marker light and one located in the rear top marker lights. The screen monitor is included to mount on your tow vehicle windshield. The blue awnings are in great shape. The two RV/Marine batteries are recent upgrades. Today, I purchased a new 50-amp surge protector to be included: POWER WATCHDOG, model # PWD50-EPO. We are including such things as water hoses and various other items that we found to be helpful. She is ready to go when you are. The owner’s manual is included along with various Airstream books with helpful advice. She is a lovely Airstream.
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.
