Bought a 2000 Airstream Land Yacht

Years ago, perhaps in 02-03, we bought a ‘94 33’ LY and really like the quality of the interior build and layout. Unfortunately for us it was NOT well maintained and the dealer was not too interested in bringing the faults to our attention. Just poor or inadequate maintenance not the fault of Airstream.

Unless you have already done so, I’d get an independent mechanic check out that 20 yo chassis. Check for signs of leaks, and make sure the rooftop AC unit(s) are properly sealed and bolts tight. Check age of tires.

We bought it from a private seller, an older gentleman who we immediately liked and trusted. He is old school...a good mechanic who has restored cars from the ground up...and walked us through the coach in detail. Absolutely no leaks or water damage. Tires are two years old with 3500 miles. Engine started right up and was smooth and quiet. Low hours on the generator which also started right up. Very clean in and out. He is having health issues and decided to give up RVing but we could see he was meticulous in his care of the coach. We're confident as can be in the reliability of this 20 year old unit while understanding that things can go wrong. This is our third motorhome. We've always bought from private sellers, and from the same type of person. So far we've done well.
