Roy,

My 1976 Argosy 28 has wrap arounds at both ends and the “Vista Windows”. The interior layout is rear bedroom center bath and the cabinets feature the smooth tambour (like a roll top desk) doors. There is a little button outside and to the right of the entrance door that states that this trailer was made by Airstream - as far as I’m concerned it is an Airstream!
