Well, that what these look like to me and I think it is the nicest Airfloat I have ever seen. Wait til you get a load of what is inside.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"P1060715 by mali mish, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/danlin\/5505938727\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5053\/5505938727_d1be8d5c21.jpg\" alt=\"P1060715\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This completely restored trailer actually has all of its original aluminum siding with over 600 hours of work put into it. Much of that surely went into polishing that corrugated aluminum. It has been lovinly named the &#8216;Villa Margarito&#8217;. If Mexico wasn&#8217;t so dangerous to travel into right now, this thing would be sitting beach side in San Felipe if I had the change to snatch it up.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"P1060719 by mali mish, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/danlin\/5507542804\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5257\/5507542804_fd73628c1c.jpg\" alt=\"P1060719\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The interior of the coach has been completely decked out with brand new mahogany paneling and custom-built mahogany cabinets. There is a very luxurious feeling you get when you step foot into this Airfloat much like what you would imagine James Bond owning if he was to buy a vintage trailer. The smooth Jame Bond like Sean Connery, not the rough and tumble Daniel Craig.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"P1060720 by mali mish, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/danlin\/5507544838\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5016\/5507544838_1ae4133a83.jpg\" alt=\"P1060720\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aside from the plush leather double recliner chairs, granite counter tops, stainless sink and faucet and porcelain toilet, there is something even more special and unique about this Airfloat.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"P1060721 by mali mish, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/danlin\/5506946883\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5020\/5506946883_41cc7d4be4.jpg\" alt=\"P1060721\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s not the double his and her beds.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"P1060722 by mali mish, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/danlin\/5506948683\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5172\/5506948683_973773e945.jpg\" alt=\"P1060722\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Its definitely not the missing shower, even though that did intrigue me as to why the owner decided that a luxury vintage trailer didn&#8217;t need a shower.
