How awesome! I love reading about Airstream winters. How is everything on the inside? With your new insulation job, are you running into many problems?
the worst would have to be that the windows fog up when take bath and cook, that should be better when we get the range hood working, i thought when get time that we should perhaps cut some plexiglass and sandwich with longer screws between the screens and windows to form a bit of thermal type window, didn't want to do plastic it will also be better when the rest of interior aluminum is up, tried to enter more picts but guess am at my size limit so no more room. if anyone wants more picts can email me and i could send some that way. the worst of cold is over i think 30 degrees is really nice...
awesome, i spent last winter in my a.s. in west virginia and had a great time. no 20 below though. that suburban furnace definetly will keep you toasty. i wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
wishing you well

Very cool,
Glad you made it through the winter. Its still winter here in western Montana. Snow over the weekend and more today.
How hard was it to winterize your Airstream? You mentioned you put foil bubble wrap in the walls, was that easy to do? Also, how did you install your Suburban heater? I'm guessing you replaced an existing one with a better one?
was easy to do once skin removed from inside of the airstream, used spray glue to hold the layers of foil up ... yes we installed the heater in place of existing one. new propane lines, new wiring.. replaced plumbing. converted to 110v. wiring. got a tankless water heater by thermatemp? they are only ones with proper rv tankless heaters. think that is the brand, can't remember rightnow... they make one that also has floor water heat ... which would be quieter then that suburban furnace though more money, we also insulated the floor with fiberglass... removed holding tanks as using reg. sewer hookups. other then some condensation we had no problems.
