[VAC] Argosy Axle replacement

["Mr. Joy H. Hansen" <joytbrew@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Well, the '74 Argosy is headed for the trash heap due to the high cost of
replacement axles.  The cost of the axles if not identified for an Airstream
of more than 20 years old was $350 from a local RV dealership.  From
Inland RV, the cost is $800 plus shipping.  I find the cost difference
unacceptable - near $1000 for the tandem axles of the Argosy.  I'm unsure if
I will continue restoration of the '69 Safari for the same reason.

Guess it's time to start looking at Avion or other travel trailers where
contracts for running gear don't make restoration impractical!

                                     Disappointment rules, Joy
