I drive 600 miles and pick up the motor ,motor retailes for $3200. and the guy turns out to be a general in the army. NOT ALL CRAIGS LIST ADD,S ARE SCAMS.

Not all, but that one for the airstream sounds like it.
Way out of state area code is a flag, but my number hasn't marched the state I live in within 1000mi in 6 years.
Seems like decent English, and the wierd descriptions could totally be the woman who knows zilch about the camper.
Bottom line, if it's a lady that answers and she's willing to have you come look at it locally it's probably real. May be a pos but real.
Heck someone tried to scam me on a lawnmower I sold last week.
Dude texts me, seems legit, said he's deaf and to text back. I text him back with a polite description, all the stuff someone would ask on the phone.
Immediately texted back,was a cut n paste because he couldn't have typed it that fast. Asking about taking a cashiers check, full price and his movers would come pick it up! Lol
Strung him along for a bit, asked about the color of his mothers underwear, etc and then told him to fo and lose my number. Said hoped he'd get run over by a deaf driver!
