4" copper

Sneakinup · 08-18-2011, 05:21 PM

When you get ready to do the interior, let me know. I have built numerous concrete counter tops, and dabbled in Terrazzo flooring. This trailer will be beefy enough to support the weight! :P

purists be hanged, do what ya want to the old beauty...a cool camo wrap (or lady gaga pix) and the Magma mobile pullin' it-what a sight!

It's either a periscope or a potato cannon.... Or a periscope that fires potatos...

Actually it was a $1900 stack of copper and fittings for an oxygen exhaust to be installed at my sisters business. Had to paint it all grey so the local meth heads did not start sharpening their hacksaws

Well the news of a hurricane has spurred me to finish all of the shell mounts today..

Decided to remove the inner wheel rib and replace it with a pair of taller stubs.

I'm going to have a left over fridge access hatch and a charger? hatch. Should I delete them or re purpose them? Any ideas? My sister said to make one into a pull out outdoor shower supply.

Dog viewport?

Leftover hatchlings from the silver egg?

I deleted the battery locker, easy to do on shell but the trim & wraps will be the tell-all when the time comes. In hindsight sounds like a good spot for retracting hose storage.

For the fridge hatch, reverse the hinged edge to bottom and make a fold down tray with cable stays? The outdoor shower spot sounds great until it is winterizing time, maybe a glorified fish cleaning station?

I was thinking of making mine the diesel tank fill-and-filter station among other idle thoughts...

Darkspeed · 08-22-2011, 01:00 PM

They are somewhat higher now..

Beer tap?

mistral blue · 08-22-2011, 01:37 PM

pull-out, outdoor grill? beer cooler?

Refreshment station with beer keg spigot, ice dispenser and lemon dispenser.

Suggestions:

1. Emergency exit when the bill collector calls.
2. Gun port for broadsides.
3. Stash container.
4. Garbage ejector.
5. Storage for your snake collection.

As much as I like the idea of a tap, I think it would also curse you with being the center of the party anywhere you went. You would likely never sleep at an RV park again due to the music and laughter outside your trailer.

However, Gene just mentioned probably the most amazing idea ever with #2. Of course, you would have to also install a front flag pole and one of them would be a jolly roger. I mean, what would be more fitting to the tune of Aluminum Falcon than gun ports for giant potato cannons. Hook them up to some propane regulators and a stun gun for ignition, and you could have a set of TV-controlled spud cannons on your trailer.

Potatoes? Arghh! I was thinking of a cannon for 5 lb. ball and grapeshot. When stuck in one of those campgrounds with only a few feet between rigs, a 5 lb. cannon fits inside neatly and the broadside can eliminate those too-close rigs. Then when someone comes to complain, give 'em a taste of grape, hehehe. Dark's superframe can handle the recoil. Fire in the hole, matey.

A guy I know claims to use a stun gun in the bedroom on occasion. Since my total knowledge of stun guns comes from the Google search I just did for "stun gun conductivity aluminum human body" (oh, and one episode of the spy show "Burn Notice), I am probably extrapolating way too much here. But Chris' description left me with the impression that there is some transference if you are actually touching the object you are stunning. So I would be a bit concerned that, no matter what you are using your own personal stun gun for in an Airstream, the trailer could become one big electrified weapon.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course!

I'd like to know more about that.

Yeah, you're not alone on that one, baby. But I highly doubt that darkspeed wants his lovely restoration thread to devolve into a discussion of stun-gun sex. How did we get here anyway? Oh yeah, spud launchers.
