The cabinets we got were for kid's rooms. They are 20" deep. We chose those over 25" kitchen base cabinets and 15" wall cabinets because of our space constraints. Pete cut down the cabinet over the wheel well to fit the space and align with the rest.
I love Ikea! And Ikea hacks.

Thanks for all your comments! We can't wait to get back on the road. Pete's claiming it as his football "man cave" for now.

If you are happy with the mods that is what counts. I think you did a great job.
Save the old parts if you can, the next owner may not agree and want to "restore" the trailer to original.
As to whether you are nuts, you would be in a better position to judge of that than we are.

Beautiful! I wonder if Airstream would add this to factory builds?

That's probably quite a long drive for you, Jeff. Does IKEA let ppl overnight in the parking lot if they're waiting to shop?

Same here. We *could* squeeze more overnight guests into the 'stream, but that's why God made Holiday Inn.

I think we stole this line from the forum - when asked how many our 27FB Flying Cloud sleeps, our answer is 2 :-)

Thinking outside the box
A very nice conversion. Good use of space. I like the double recliner too.
What kind of chairs are you using at the breakfast bar?
Where do you have dinner or seat guests for dinner?
We are pondering a change too, just want to figure a way to have friends in for dinner.

Looks great!!! We are in the middle of remodeling our Second Airstream to sleep ten-- because we have seven kids and grandma. We know we are not typical, but either way we think it's wonderful to tailor them to your own specific needs!

Right now we use folding chairs from Ikea of course. Still looking for something better. We have never been a family that sits around the table too much. The one time we ate inside because of poor weather it was two at the breakfast bar and two on the sofa. We normally eat outside.

I have the Cloud 25' rear bed and I have the same problem. The couch dinette area is great for eating but not that comfortable to hang around in. Looking to do the recliner thing myself.
