**Last reduction in price. Will relist in the spring. Best deal in North America. FIRM!
A new grandchild, an elderly parent and a puppy have our family changing course. This Bambi is in excellent condition, with a few bumps that I will fully disclose. We purchased it May 2019 and have had 15 wonderful camping trips. My journal has us putting less than 18,000 miles on it. We’ve only camped in the southeast and midwest, never west of the Mississippi River. We are its second owners. According to Camping World in Jacksonville, Fl, the original buyers had purchased it in Atlanta. They took it on one trip, then decided that they would prefer a camper that they didn’t have to tow.
From off the grid boondocking to full hookup glamping, we have never been uncomfortable. Both electric AC and gas heat work perfectly. All appliances work and the fridge can be turned on gas or electric, which is very convenient. Great bluetooth stereo, flatscreen tv and a dvd player. Abundant USB connections that charge off battery during boondocking.
We always used the indoor shower for storage. Outdoor shower works great.
Tires have less than 20,000 miles on them. I have had them, and the bearings checked, prior to every trip.
Camper pulls like a dream behind my 2003 Chevy Avalanche truck. The last picture posted was from our first boondocking experience. Short Mountain distillery in Tennessee. So much fun!

Upgrades:
-replaced cheap plastic skylight with $400 tinted glass skylight.
-$700 Weight distribution hitch with sway bars
-immediately after purchasing the camper, we had $800 custom denim cushion covers made for the banquet. Underneath, are beige leather cushions in excellent condition.
-RV electric surge protector
-Rhino flexible sewer lines with risers
– not an upgrade, but we always used a foam mattress topper over our Airstream mattress. Mattress looks brand new.
-outdoor pop-up shower enclosure and teak mat.
Issues:
-I bought a new voyager backup camera for $200, had it wired by an electrician; however, I could never get it to link with the monitor. I drive an older truck with no backup camera. I would have liked to have had a backup camera, but it was not necessary.
-Two dings in the back. One I did and the other is a mystery. See pictures.
-We purchased it with a flaw in the door, however it locks and closes properly. See pictures.
-park stickers have been removed from propane tank cover. Some scratches were left.

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.
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).
