Well the time has come to experience the thrill of my first Airstream purchase. I need to make a decision on whether to purchase a 1962 Globetrotter. I want to be an educated consumer. My education so far includes visiting an Airstream dealership (I�d rather buy an old one) and researching prices of vintage trailers on the Internet.

 The particular trailer I�m interested in looks like it has a fairly clean exterior with two small dents and a replacement door on the hot water heater compartment. The rear bathroom window has been replaced with an air conditioner. On a positive note, it has the original hubcaps and a spare wheel.

 The original toilet has been replaced. So have the hot water heater (AC only) and the refrigerator (AC only). The trailer will need these replaced to be self-contained.

 I�m going to look at the trailer this weekend, if it is still available. I�d like to know what to look for during the visual inspection. What are the steps to make a thorough appraisal of this trailer?

 Finally, is the $7,000 price tag within reason for the trailer description I provided. The owner said something about it being a "california model"...what does that mean? My best estimate is a price range from $2,000 to $7,000. I�d like to know what are the criteria that make one trailer more valuable than another.

 Thank you in advance
