Finally pulled the trigger...

Posted 09-29-2015 at 09:25 AM by RodNAtl

... today has to be one of the most exciting days I can think of. Today, my partner and I purchased our very first Airstream. It's a 2013 19' International Signature.

All of my life I have been fascinated with Airstreams, from building birdhouses, to doing research about them. Thinking that I would never get one I began to settle with looking at other options. However, my father just recently passed away and prior to passing he and I talked about life and enjoying the moments. ...

A couple years ago I posted pictures of my rotted out floor in my new Bambi.

After a lot of back and forth with Airstream they agreed to repair the damaged part of the floor. They repaired it with material that they now use instead of particle board (good idea) but it was 1/4 inch thicker so there was a rise in the floor where they had replace the rotted out section.

1950 Liner "Weeble" - Getting rid of corrosion and working on window mechs

Posted 09-26-2015 at 08:40 PM by Bowmans (This blog shows our renovation of a 1979 Sovereign 31' center bath AS)

It rained all day today so no polishing.

So I washed the inside of the shell since the inside panels are removed to get rid of what was left of the insulation and dirt. I also started sanding/scotchbrighting the inside of the outer shell to get rid of the oxidation and corrosion spots that are there. Cleared about 6 linear feet before my hands were raw and cut...

1950 Liner "Weeble" - Interior walls pulled and last of 65 year old insulation gone!

Over the last few weekends, I have been working around direct sun and rain to compound polish what I can. The front end cap and curb side upper panels are done. The first opening window frame is also cleaned and polished fully. The other two down to and including the eyebrows which had to be re-shaped somewhat from years of use as a shed.
