In for the long haul 22ft 1953

Hi guys,

My name is John and I am an Airstreamaholic.

I own a ratty beat up 1953 trailer #3111. This week end, we pulled out everything except the beds in back. The floor is rotten and we are going to find a way to replace it.

I have pictures of it... up at

Hello le_nerdo -- welcome to the forums. Nice looking Airstream there. Climate-wise, coaches from the desert southwest tend to have floors in better condition. But "They all leak" is more true than you might imagine. Find someone with a Sealtech machine and seal 'er up -- that will let your hard work count for something!

Cool, my name is Todd and I'm north of you in Wesley chapel. There are a couple of airstream guys in Tampa I have met, all seem good. I'm redoing a 1971 31' and it my first so I'm learning as I go. if you ever need any welding, riveting, etc, done feel free to drag it up here. I'm new to the area so if you know any hot girls who dig vintage load them up too.

You might wanna join my camp. Hot girls all around. I have about 7 holes that need patching on this thing. I want to gut my 31 and make it cozy.

What's up with your camp?

Ah yes the patch list... Are you removing the windows or just want to cover them over? I'm guessing you want to patch the outside skin to make it waterproof?

I'm going next week to pick up some parts from a guy who is scrapping an airstream, if there is some spare skin i will grab it for you
