New challenge, i know it's never easy to work on a vintage vehicle and the Airstream is ...
New water heater to install... yes you've understand, it's crazy !
Bought on Ebay at the best price on the market, I've made the choice to improve the system: instead of the old "only" gaz Atwood, I've taken the Gaz/electric/electronic... but no door so it was not a problem because I've always the old inox one and the look is better than the white one they sale with....
BUT what...

We made the short drive up from Sangchris Lake, IL and arrived home in the afternoon.
The house was...

Hi the community;
The Airstream activity is beginning again, a bit late compared with the other years but we are just comen back from an Harley-Davidson event, in the south of France ( saint tropez ); so last week-end , it was time to get out of storage , our A/S ... water heater is waiting to be mounted ....
Always a great moment... few monthes that i haven't see it and always suspicious to find another damage, as it was in the past.... But all was right !
At the end of last...

Started out on Vancouver Island BC Canada March 27th and experienced -6 temperters on the parries .Had a lay over in Thunder Bay Ontario with 2 feet of snow.The traveling was good all the way to New Brunswick where I'm parked on the 27th of April at a great RV park on the Pedecodiac River south of Moncton. I'm about 3 miles from the Hope Well Rocks.NB
It was a trip to remember.I pulled my 31 foot land yacht with a half ton Dodge 5.7 ltr.hemi with no problem.

DAY 107 - Fri May 8
Still very muggy, with tornado watches again today -- mid 80's.
On our way to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in Jackson TN this morning. It is housed in an old downtown building, and is chock full of the history of Rockabilly music. After we rang the doorbell a very nice lady came and let us in. She explained that it was $5/each for the tour, and that she shows three dvd's, and then you are free to roam the museum. She also shared a couple of personal experiences growing...

DAY 104 - Tue May 5
Warm and very muggy....
Rolling by 9:30AM, saying goodbye to The Big Easy -- heading US11N to I-59N to Hattiesburg Mississippi. We passed a yard full of what looked like FEMA trailers just outside Purvis. There had to be hundreds, if not thousands of trailers there. We wondered what they'll do with all those trailers!!! We made a left at US98 towards Natchez to start the Natchez Trace, but the weather changed our minds, and we decided to catch it at Jackson instead....

Well all leaks have been addressed and fixed. Outside has been sealed up. It is started to resemble a functional RV! Today I put in the water heater and started re-installing the interior skins. I have also installed a new curbside wheel well. I will use the old one to path the roadside wheel well. The task at hand now is to figure out the electrical system and thoroughly document the changes. It has been pretty cobbled up by the PO, but I intend to clean it up. It is getting exciting to...

DAY 99 - Thu Apr 30
Warm & muggy again. We took a short drive around Slidell to pick up supplies and get the truck washed. Back at the park, I met a lady in the laundry whose husband washes RV's on site. Told hubby about him, negotiated a very fair and reasonable price, and set it up for tomorrow. Baby's gettin' a bath!
DAY 100 - Fri May 1
I am COVERED in bites!!!! Not sure exactly what they're from, but everybody say they're "no-see-ums". No kidding, but they should...
