It looks like all new cupboards/floors and upholstery? Or is the wood just refinished?

Do you think it feels like you are in an "aisle" when you are watching TV?

Thanks...Tom R

Sorry I didn't get back to this thread sooner, it kind of got lost in the cracks.

First, the Airstream is a 1997 Classic rear queen. It's not mine, it belongs to one of those Hollywood types. A fast rundown of the work performed, in no particular order:
Mouse fur wall and ceiling covering removed, the old adhesive cleaned off, and all the empty rivet holes that were exposed were filled with rivets.
Hardwood floor throughout.
New aluminum colored Formica countertops in the kitchen, along with a new sink and range.
All the dining room chairs were recovered in that soft plasticized leather stuff. The dining room table was repaired and strengthened, since it had an annoying tendency to fall apart.
The living room trim and chairs/couch were reupholstered in the same material as the dining room chairs. Any trim sticking out got covered, except the entertainment center itself.
The bulkhead walls were recovered in 2024 T3 to cover the really out of place looking wall covering. It didn't look bad with the stuff that was there originally, but with all that removed, it had to have something to tie it back together. All 4 bulkhead walls got this treatment, including the tiny vertical cover over the kitchen vent.
New queen mattress, and the solar electrical system from hell. The heat pump could actually be run for a couple of hours using the batteries.
The entertainment center, which contains the television, DVD player, and stereo, along with the controls for the satellite receiver, are on the curbside, between the main door and bulkhead wall. So, if you sit on the couch, or pretty much anywhere int he living room, you are merely looking across the trailer, instead of down a long hallway. New LCD televisions were installed in the entertainment center and bedroom to replace the old analog tv's that wouldn't pick anything up.
The exterior was polished as well.

TomR,

We have a '97 34', and haven't had any sag problems at the rear. One of the other Georgia Unit members has a front kitchen, and it is a fantastic layout. I think it makes it more "livable".

We have a 1993 30' Excella with the front kitchen and absolutely love it. We just returned from our first trip - 7,000 miles over 29 days with 5 young kids - obviously space is an issue with that many people, but the layout makes it work amazingly well.
