Just thought I would add mine to the list. It's a work in progress, but I have lofty plans for it. When it's completed it will be a full-timer. Enjoy

Good to see 8 X 10 colored glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one is.

I just realized that mine isn't listed here. This trailer started with RichardT in Bat Cave, was bought by Terry aka Overlander63, then he sold it to Forums user kitkat, and then she sold it to me in July 2008.

How'd I miss this thread? Here's my contribution(s)....

1970 Caravel - how to get a permanent bed

1977 Safari - total gut job, new floor up front, new battery boxes, LED marker lights, solid insulation foam under the floor, new water tank drain, removed wing windows (lots more to do)

Plastic Interior Domes - replacing with aluminum, this is post #64 in the above thread--it's the starting point for making an 11-panel aluminum replacement interior dome

1975 Sovereign - aluminum cabinets, removed vista views, repaired gray and black tank dump valves, unique bed/couch up front

Dump Valves - details on the Sovereign mid-bath valve fix

1973 Overlander - new birch cabinets, shortened the tub and moved bed aft to make kitchen counter space

Over the sink cabinet - cut the end 30 degrees to eliminate head bump (in work as of this date)

Overlander Axle Project - Dexter axles, installed by Luke in Ft Collins (AirstreaminCo@gmail.com)

Repairing double Pane Windows - fixing the bubbled solar film

Air Conditioner - replacement, install firm supporting structure, make your own cheap scaffold

Wing Windows - how to remove them and skin them over

Banana Skins - repairing the dents

Eyebrow Cabinet - replacing the cabinet over the front goucho

Overlander Dinette - design and build a dinette with a short and long table

PEX - replacing all the copper with PEX

Zip Dee - installation with reinforced skin patches

Installing a Desk - the top slides, so it's easy to use and easy to move out of the way

Vents - replace with a Fantastic Fan or skin over

Dish Storage - a purpose-built drawer or a a tilt-out box

Fridge Door - if your previously owned Airstream has been sitting in the desert for years, the interior door panels may be warped. The fridge is probably still OK, so fix them.

70s Airstream Letters - fxiing broken posts

Umbilical Connector - replace the old Airstream connector with a modern 7-pin socket

Well, this certainly proves I am a total nut case,

Nut cases love and inspire company, Zep. Your posts about a birch plywood dinette are what got me started on rebuilding our interior. The rest is history, past and future.

I should have been doing threads documenting our work. But, unlike you, we don't do a job in a weekend, and watching a relatively small project evolve over months or even years is a bit like watching paint dry. So I'm working on summarizing our projects and putting them in a, gasp!, off airforums blog.

If anyone wants to see our work, check out my sig. I'll try to get some of them up on airforums for the record. I'm sure people could learn from my mistakes.
