Since I bought my 73' Safari 23ft about 6 month ago, have been looking for video like this and finally found it. Now I want to share with all vintage Airstream lovers.

DIY Network, Classic Rides, 1970 Airstream Overlander Land Yacht Restoration Video Series.
YouTube - kenwinning's Channel
This series has 10 episodes x 4 part = 40 video files.
I will upload those little by little.

I found this actual trailer was listed on eBay, and I begged owner to sell me a copy of DVD. Also check out DIY network web links on "About This Video" Please enjoy!

Neat idea!

Big thanks for your efforts.

Keep us updated on your Safari. We've got a '75.

Took a quick look at one. Interesting.
Something to keep me warmed up with the artic temps coming in this week.
The poor GT is frozen up top to bottom.

Thanks,
Tom.

karma for ya, dude. I'm knee deep in a '69 bath upgrade and the info on painting and the aluminum wall installation is incredibly timely for me.

great stuff, thanks for posting!

Viewed the AC install twice and glad you posted these - well - sort of. Back to square one now. The one they took out has the same interior shroud as ours does now. They put in the same unit I was considering - or also thinking about the Carrier low profile.

Two things. What happened to the drain hose? For those that have done this - did you have to tuck insulation foam between the shroud and ceiling. Their example isn't going to happen in my trailer - that was butt ugly. The Coleman shroud in it now conforms to the ceiling.... ?

Thanks again for listing these.

Thanks for posting these to YouTube, they're great! Just wondering, the last one I see is 07-01, do you have the rest?

Also, for those who are interested, the entire series will be re-airing on DIY netowrk starting March 25th at 7:00 Eastern.

Airstream Introduction, Inspection, History and Tear-Out Interior : DIY Network

But, I don't want to wait that long, so if you still plan on posting the rest of the series, I'd love to see it!
