Hi BarbaraJean,\nWelcome !!\nWe have a few listed in our classified section here on the site. Otherwise I would suggest ebay, Craigslist, rvtraderonline or just plain google search using keyword Travco for sale.\nWe do allow posting of CL and ebay listings here on the forum so if you find one that you have questions about before bidding feel free to post a thread or PM one of the Staff if you don't want to post the listing publicly.\nSomethings to consider with 220 vs 270.\nThe 220's are lighter, better on gas and much easier to get drive line parts for however they are cramped. The bathroom is all one so the room is the shower(everything gets wet, there is a drain in the floor) vs the 270 which actually ha a shower enclosure. Also mid 73+ on both models seems to be the rough dividing line on having front disc brakes(you want disc if possible).\n440/413 is the better engine IMHO as I have had both in 220's but the 318 is more common in 220's and not a bad motor either. Just a little underpowered.\nWe can get into specifics of what to look at when you find something you are interested in but bear in mind, these are main areas of concern.\nWindshields...very very expensive. 1200$+ per side\nGelcoat..(the finish)cracking. expensive to fix so if it's really ugly...\nbrake work..on a 270 can get expensive fast.\nTires...older 270's had 17 inch split rim tube type. Try to find one with 19.5 tubeless as the 17 inch tube tires are near impossible to find and very expensive. 19.5 rims to convert an older unit are equally difficult to find and expensive.\nJust some things to consider in your search and sometimes it's better to pay a little more for one that is in pristine condition than a fixer upper unless you have the ability to do the work yourself.

It helps if you give your location. There are 3 270s & a 210 listed in my area, Ontario, Canada now.

Welcome to the forum!\nEverything that has been said above is spot on advice. I believe that most people who own super nice and road worthy Travco's are just not interested in selling them. \n I am not sure what your budget is but if you want a turn key unit then what you will need most is cash and patience. Flying to it and driving it home may also be necessary.
