EXTERIOR
The exterior of this vintage Vagabond is very original, very intact and very complete. The exterior skin is all aluminum with the exception of the bottom wraps in the front and the corner bottom wraps in the rear. Vagabond was a very high-quality trailer which often competed with Spartan back in the day.
Frame and A-frame. Has some surface rust but everything appears to be good and solid in all areas assessable for inspection.
Compartment doors. Yes, there is a rear trunk door, which is complete with latch but has no keys.
Dents, damage and scratches. Worst damage is on the bottom wraps which have some dents, holes and flaws. Other than that, the main body only has very minor dents and dings. This trailer was originally painted so any small imperfections could be filled before it is painted.
Entry door front. Has the original aluminum entry door. There is a small wrinkle on the bottom corner and there are three small screw holes on the edge of the door. Door window is plexiglass. Has the original Bargman brand L 66 lock but there are no keys. Door will need new seals.
Entry door rear. Has the original aluminum rear door. Door window is plexiglass. Door skin is in very good condition. Door will need new seals. Has the original Bargman brand L-66 lock, but no keys.
Front screen door. Has the original sliding wood screen door which functions fine but pulls in and out hard. It probably just need to be lubricated.
Rear screen door. Has the original wood screen door, which is in good condition.
Steps. Both the front and rear door have the original steel slide out steps, which are in good working condition.
Front hoist. Has a newer top wind hoist, which is in working condition.
Hitch coupler. Has the original Marvel brand hitch coupler which is in working condition.
Roof and vents. Has the original aluminum roof which has no apparent damage. There are a few vents that were missing the caps which we have covered just to keep water out. Looks like the roof seems have had sealer or tar applied at one time but need more attention.
Exterior lights. Has the original four marker lights with glass lenses and steel bezels. All glass lenses appear to be in good condition. Has the original Bargman Trail-Lite #2 tail lights with glass lenses. One glass lens looks to be good but the other lens is cracked. Has the original Bargman license plate light. Both red lens and clear cylinder lens are in good condition. Exterior lights have not been tested so temporary tow light should be added in the rear to tow it home safely. We can supply these if needed. Underbelly. These originally had an insulation board type underbelly, which did not hold up real well in time. We usually just the tear off the old insulation board, then undercoat the bottom side of the trailer.
Windows. Has the original Woodlin style aluminum windows. The window glass on the door side windows of the trailer have been replaced with Plexiglas. All the other windows are real glass. Several of the windows are missing interior hardware.

The interior of this trailer is mostly original. It still has the original stove and refrigerator but original furnace is missing.

FURNISHINGS
Couch. Has what I believe is the original click clack couch/ love seat. The seat and the backrest fold down like a regular click click couch, then there is another pull out mattress from underneath that basically folds out into a 48” wide bed. The bed did fold out fine, but was a little tight so may just needs to be lubricated.
