But what are we looking at TIME wise? For example, when you start to remove the kitchen cabinets...are they held in place with a few screws and after laying on my back or kneeling for 5 minutes with a cordless drill in hand will I be able to scoot things toward the door? Or am I looking at cussing and swearing for 2 hours as I search for the last hidden $#&^%@$%%%!!! screw or glued joint that is preventing me from getting things moving? For the whole trailer am I looking at a day to gut it? A weekend? A month of after-work evenings plus weekends?

What year Airstream? Different years, different methods.
Depending on the year, you can get a "service manual."
That book shows how things are put together, as well as consideable service information.
