VINTAGE 1969 18ft AIRSTREAM CARAVEL TRAVEL TRAILER

EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL TRAILER

This Vintage 1969 18ft AIRSTREAM CARAVEL is one very fine specimen of the original AIRSTREAM Travel Trailer. All systems checked, tested, repaired/replaced, in good working condition and ready to use. Updates and Newly replaced Items listed below. Clear title with no liens or encumbrances. This coach has a dry weight of approx. 2990 lbs according to factory specs and a hitch weight of 420 lbs. Seating/Sleeping configuration is (1) Convertible Cafe Dinette in the front galley and (1) Convertible pull-out double gaucho in the rear compartment. It also has plenty of storage, a kitchenette with stainless sink, and a (4) Burner gas cooktop w/oven. This 1969 Caravel is VAC qualified and full of period retro elements like the original one-piece bathroom, wood flooring and newer professional retro 1960s inspired turquoise upholsteries. This is one of the nicest completely original trailers you will see and is a quite desireable model due to its size and weight. It is roomy yet easy to tow with a standard vehicle.

Two things make this particular trailer special: [1] Its condition. It was very well cared for and gently used since purchased new in 1969. [2] The floorplan. Although the typical Caravel model offers the standard front and side gauchos with full rear bath/shower arrangement, this trailer offers a somewhat unusual factory side bath arrangement in the rear. The second gaucho is in the rear rather than the side. This creates a much more open and livable interior configuration.
