[/quote=RustyL] My wife and I have ourchased a 1967 international airstream and I have taken everything out of it. I have an electrical box. I would be happy to sell you this for 10$ plus shipping if interested. My e-mail adress is SinclairR@wmpenn.edu I am not sure what shipping would be I would have to check. I also have a stove, furnace, refrigerator, water pump, some inside lights and fixtures and a range top. I don't know if they work. I don't plan on using them. I am willing to price and sell if interested. I also have the water tank. I plan on selling them all befor sring of 2008.

I have decided to rewire it completly since in 1967 they thought aluminum wiring was a good idea. Who ever owned this airstream befor me added apliances that had copper wiring. I found burnt wiring and fire spots in the walls since copper and aluminum do not mix. This is a code violation in commercial and residential housing because of this.

I have decided to insulate the walls with a soy-foam insulation. I am going to use a fireproof type wich sells between $235-355 a cylinder. I think a cylinder I need to reinsulate my 28 ft. International would cost me around $355 this will cover around 250 sq. foot. The video of this product shows the different swelling rate and how much it will cover. This video led me to this conclusion.

This cylinder should fill the floor cavity as well, if not I will have to purchase more. I have found that the pricing is comparable to fiberglass insulation, but foam seals like none other and it has a better R-value. I tested the fire proofing foam at work with an acetaline torch and it didn't hardly discolor it.

If any one is interested in pictures of this remodel e-mail me and I will send them to you.

Thank you,

Rusty and Mary Sinclair
