Looks great! Did you happen to buy this from a lady in North Tampa recently?

[Paul33603]

I wouldn't say North Tampa it was located in the Sulphur Springs area. Yes it was a nice older woman, she is in the video. So it might be what your referring to. What's up did you see it or have interest?

welcome to an exclusive club bro ! when i first "transformed " my life i started
with a 10 cu. yard dumpster. didn't think i would fill half of it. LMMFAO

Yup, I talked to her a bit... well not her, but a lady who had posted the ad for her. Was this older woman moving down to Sarasota and trying to sell it?

I never went to go look at it because my wife decided she had to have the airstream, but I had some conversations with them over email and the phone. Lovely people.

Congrats on it, have you already refurbed her?

[Paul33603]

Yes she was moving to Sarasota and she was very nice. The original price was $1900 she ended up taking $1600 for it. It was solid unit in purchasing it and that is about it.
I have been working on the SS for 3 months solid. I have had to do a LOT of work to it from rewiring, plumbing, kitchen remodel, painted the inside. The SS after thinking about it was a mess but was solid. If you watch the video you will see a tiny AC unit placed where the original fridge vent was. It was a good idea however was not cooling the unit down at all. Installed a new to me Coleman Mach III rooftop AC unit which does its job very well.
The electrical was a nightmare. I thought it was just going to include installing new outlets, well I ended up having to rewire most of the SS with romex. So now its safe lots of rigging was going on before it was totally unsafe.
I was happy to find out that the water pipes were copper throughout so that didn't need much work at all. Except for a few water lines that were corroded badly and a few of the exit lines. Needed a new toilet and the plywood around the toilet was rotten also. Was scared I was going to need new black tank cause the toilet was actually sitting on the black tank without any plywood for support.
Kitchen has a new base cabinet larger than what is pictured in the video. The kitchen was a weird setup the sink wasn't hooked up. Got a new sink, faucet and counter top. I bought a Magic Chef fridge freezer that I could fit through the door damn 25" entry. Still need to figure out a stove/oven. I have an induction cook top a microwave with broiler so for the time being that will work also have an outdoor grill.
So from the woman's past I take it she lived in it for a while in the country and it was rigged with whatever was around. I am happy I rescued this soon to be gem.
Last week I I put 2 coats of white elastic paint Kool something on the roof and am deciding what to put in for flooring. Thinking bamboo.
More videos and pics to come shortly
