That's an interesting one, but I don't get it. It's got a much newer interior but the top is from the '89 or earlier Okonogan. Something is funny with this one.

I sent the Vin to Skater, hopefully he will know what is different about it.

What makes you say that? It looks pretty standard to me. The floor has obviously been redone, and the stove is a different model than others I've seen (it is white and it has a cover). Fridge has a black insert instead of wood grain, perhaps because it was replaced at some point.

You sent me the Ford VIN, thanks. Would it be possible to get the Airstream VIN? I'm especially interested in early and late ones, and as a 1989 yours definitely qualifies as early! The Airstream VIN is usually mounted on an aluminum plate above the radiator in the engine compartment. Failing that, the owner's manual usually has a number like "300000" written on the cover.

Cabinetry is updated with what appears to be solid wood, whereas the original had veneer. Overhead cabinets are solid, whereas original had glass. Captain chairs are newer, as is the couch. Its also interesting to me that there is a headliner overhead, and the walls of the overhead bunk have been covered. I have no problem with updating, its just a bit puzzling to me.
