Maybe Buy The Bird Maybe Not?

We are Airstream (1963 Overlander TT) owners involved in a partial
restoration of said trailer. Not too expensive an endeavor since we
are DIY'n it but a bigger job than we planned on.Thank goodness for
the Airstream Forums!
Which is why I seek info here. We just ran across a possible heckuva
deal on a 1978 Wanderlodge 33'. The interior has not been babied, but
is not terrible. A good cleaning and tear out the original green shag
carpet is all she really needs in there.Original upholstery in great
shape, original curtians can be cleaned. New Passenger seat. Windows
and screens are in good shape with the exception of the pass side
front window being cracked.The front heater has been removed,
repaired, and set on top of the rear bed (nice new mattress) for
reinstallation. As far as appliances, the PO said that he never tried
them, but was told they worked...right, so we will assume they are
mostly DOA to be safe. Been there, done that on the '63 Airstream! The
CAT3208 has 18k on the odo (probably 118K...was overhauled 12k ago),
starts right up and the bus drives beautifully (albeit a bit loud, but
I suspect that's normal for the CAT). Tires are decent and body is
excellent with no rust, dents, or missing parts.Onan gen is there...no
idea if it works. It looks to be a pretty standard Wanderlodge in fair
condition without any owner-modified upgrades. Can anyone give me a
ballpark figure on what a coach of this vintage and condition should
cost. I realize it's a bit difficult without knowing any more details.

The roof has the overlapping sheets of corrugated-looking steel. Were
they proned to leaks? I am thinking that plastic headliner in the bus
would mask any potential leaky areas from being spotted on the inside.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
