Time to move on
Our holiday in France is over so time to work on the Airstream again. Next year i want to to France in our Airstream, so no time to waste
The day started with the delivery of some boxes from the USA. Removall, nuvite, some interior lighting, exterior lighting and some other fun stuff.
But that has to wait, first the frame.
Today i started removing the lower interior alu, and the mosquitoscreens around the windows. Now i know what rivets are .

... do yourself a favor and make a template of the inner shape of the c channel. Looks like you have a good bit of missing wood in the rear.

tomorrow lifting day?
Maybe tomorrow the shell can be lifted. Inside is loose, all i have to do is cut a few bolts on the outside connected to the outriggers.
Got the Airstream out of the garden to clean the mess underneath it.
Back in place again, so hopefully tomorrow is D-Day

Yay! Congratulations!
Did you add more wood framing inside to ensure that it keeps its shape?

The removall is removed and it is a lot more shinyer and delivered the frame to the welder. The dog said goodbye to the old frame

What kind of pricing did you get on the new frame? I have a 76 31' I have owned for about 7 weeks and now it is down to the bare frame and I'm getting high quotes for a new one.
