Airstream Shell Construction - Travel Trailer 2012

[Colonial Airstream]

Hello Airstreamers,

We decided to put together a quick video clip with an explanation of the construction of the Airstream travel trailer shell. I hope it is enjoyed, your input is greatly appreciated.

Nice Lauren, quite clear and concise. Perhaps a mention about seam sealing products and hatch doors would be good to show to prospective buyers as well, since the video is about the design of the envelope and those are the most likely failure points. I also love that you don't have irritating music behind your narrative.

Thank you. Very informative. When did AS start coating the edge of the subfloor?

Ditto, I would also like to know when the thermal break tape started being used between the outer skin and the ribs.

Both items were introduced in the mid 2000's. The 22' International CCD (2002-2007)16' Safari (2001 - 2002 & 2005-2006) and all 16' Internationals (2004-2007) used a flakeboard floor throughout their production. The 16' International CCD switched over to plywood in 2008.
