Welcome to the wonderful world of Airstream restorations!

Here are some photos of the rear bath Overlander I did a few years ago. (The pictures start on this page and go back.)

You'll have to remove everything to replace the floor and repair the frame if it is rusted.

Send an email to old_ironeagle@yahoo.com. Kevin is not in Alabama, but not that far away in Vale, SC.

Our rear bath Sovereign also slopes down toward the rear. I've replaced the damaged flooring and repaired the frame, but it still goes down a bit in the back, starting right after the bathroom door.
Everything is solid, so we are "living with it". If nothing else, the holding tanks drain better that way...

Here is an excellent repair shop south of Birmingham.


Camper Repair Center
8154 Highway 22
Montevallo, Al 35115
"Sonny Hare" 205-665-2531 Shop
205-665-9501 Fax

Tell him the guy from Gulf Oil sent you.

You may well want to shop prices for this - it will not be cheap. Please do not let anyone who has not done this repair before tear into your AS.

I would suggest you do an extensive search within the Forum for "rear sag" and "rear separation" and find out what others have done - and the associated costs.

here's my bath renov in progress:

'69 Safari bath floor repair

my saggy bottom was really caused by the rusted blacktank support that allowed the blacktank to sink onto the belly pan and droop a couple inches lower than it should have.

(to fix this properly requires a complete (in my opinion) rebuild of the bath and bath floor)

Thanks guys you are such a big help. I have emailed and have been making calls to all the people you have recommended. Also I have one request......The additional supports that I need does anyone have a before pic and after they were installed. My father wants to see what has been done before. You guys know you don't want your daughters on the road with something that may not be done the right way. So he TOLD me to ask for those pics.

Thanks again for all the help and the pics of your projects.

OK, but now we get to ask YOU for some pix of what your current problem actually looks like. You take some digtial pix and make them 1600 pixels or smaller then use the little paperclip image above the 'manage attachments', upload them to the forum server and hit reply.

It's almost impossible to offer specific fix info w/o seeing what it looks like. "doc, close your eyes and let me show you where it hurts" kind of thing..

OK, pix! let's see what you have there

[csham]

See....
I do have the bumper....So guys??? What do you think.....
