Manufacturer: Argosy
Style: Travel Trailer
Model Year: 1973
Model: Argosy Travel Trailer with Twin Beds
Length: 24
Title Status: Clear Title
Title State: CO
Registration Current?: Yes
Registration State?: CO
Location Details: : Outdoor
Year Purchased?: 2005
Ownership History: Purchased in 2005 from the previous owner in Wellington, Colorado. Not sure how long the previous owner had the trailer, but believe it was at least 10 years.
Why did you select this model?: 24' is a great length for longer trips while not too long to maneuver, and we liked the permanent twin beds so you don't disturb each other during the middle of the night and the beds remain beds (i.e., don't change into a table and chairs, etc.).
Why are you selling?: Parents are no longer able to travel and grandchildren are involved in school and sporting activities, so don't come camping with us as much any more.
