fiberglass is smoother and cleaner looking

our "ribbed" metal siding collects up ALOT of dust...
and if i didn't wash it once and a while would look dirty

there's still alot of those OLD 1950's aluminum airstreams around
and they STILL look the same

really...they are ALL made "junky"
just get the BIGGEST unit you can afford if you are going to live in it:light:

and...have a good time:spingrin:

park model is a good idea. has to be expensive to take down, 10' wide right? so takes a semi and a flag lead?
and must it be imported with an FM3 req'd? they won't think of it as a TT right?

you can pick up park models here in AZ real cheap at snow bird parks all over the east valley. One dies and the other needs to go to a "home".

Spend a little time and spread the word that you are looking for a TT... EVERY spring there is a large number of units being sold by folks whose homes are completed or they have given up for one reason or another...there are "good deals" all the time be patient... put up a note on the mercado's bulletin board... tell your prospective vecinos.. tell your local bartender.... visit a couple of RV Parks... get the word out and be patient.... two years ago I spent about three weeks running around Los Barriles and nearby points looking at used units... finally had to tow the one I bought ... maybe 1,000 yards/meters... tore out carpet put in Pergo.. big refrigerator and apartment sized stove... 32' Holiday Rambler in great shape $1700 plus my upgrades...

FM3 requirement is independent of size or whatever. If you leave it down, you need one.

We have a couple from Canada who bought a park model in Yuma and hauled it down to San Lucas Cove. It is an older tipout instead of a slide but it was a really nice unit. Since there is no electricity in the cove, they had to change all the wiring to12 volt but that went pretty easy, and works well with solar. He also had to add a 12 volt pressure pump, but that works well also. So they ended up with a really nice place for a few dollars.
