High end interiors?

I'm looking for some examples of some high end interior renovations. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

While not all Airstreams, there's lots of good professional restoration examples here:

Timeless Travel Travelers
Vintage Vactions
David Winick Trailers

There's also lots of quality DIY projects here on the forums but they tend to be dispersed in different sub-forums. They tend to be the reads with lots of action ~

Take a look at Contemporizing 1976 Argosy D - opinions please. Very innovative!

Long thread, but some highlights:

Split AC system
Appliances converted from LP to Diesel
Interior remodeling
Exterior matched to tow vehicle that also carries matching Mini

Excellent work.

Howdy -

We did a remodel with a green focus - cork floors, solar, eco veneer on cabinets, etc. You can check it out on our website listed below.

Re: American Retro Caravans: Luxury retrofits *START* from 105,000 pounds, *before* VAT (which is as much as 20%) So, they start from about $200k out the door. That makes me dizzy!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many resources! Thank you so much. I'm about to start checking them out.

Brenda/Cece, I'll be contacting you about your remodel. Love it!

ARC does stunning work. Lots of good ideas! I'm not sure about the polished interior though. I'd love to see it in person.

Don't have to be wealthy if you are handy...we did ours ourselves and got 99.5 points at the VAC Concourse d'Elegance 2010.

Ours is more of a restoration than a renovation though...

Fantastic Shari. Nothing says welcome to us like those warm wood tones.

Here are some nifty owner-built kitchen furniture. Notice the slide out tall bottle storage in the refer side. Neat when closed, easy to find that Tasmanian ketchup you bought.







Also, the bathroom photo is in a unit that was done (I think) in Canada, and was for sale for quite a while in the six-figures.



Nice, huh?
