Started painting the interior today..primer is on the front end and all over my face and arms! I will add photo once I get the metallic paint on tonight.

OK! It's been months now since I've added pictures. I have finished the paint inside but still have tons of detail work to do. It still looks sloppy but I am working on it! I have about 3/4 of the floor done but have to do more work on the front floor. Tons of rain created a new leal in the front making my bare floor wet!!Read my mind for the curse words! A crap seal on the front window is to blame. I still do not have a finished dinette and we have not been able to go anywhere this summer. Bought a new house and this is putting a cramp in my Airstream project.I have found a leather futon to replace the rear gaucho. It fits right on top of the existing set up! It only took me a year to find one to fit!

So I should mention I was too impatient and had to put the new stripes on! Not polished yet but looks better! You can see my finished countertops and new plumbing. Installed all of my plumbing upgrades after trailer was winterized so couldnt do any leak checks until spring.Oh and there were leaks. Had to modify some of my work, but after multiple trips to the Home Depot it all works.

Looking good. Really like the leather futon, it adds an interesting touch.

Keep us posted.

It is looking really great! I love the futon and the cool pillows. The new countertop is really nice too. Let's hope we have less rain so that you can finish the job...but the rain has really helped us spot leaks too! Ugh! Hopefully we'll see you down the road next year.

Thanks guys! Fixed a couple of holes in the corners at the front and I just about finished the flooring tonight.

Ran out at 9:15 with just the front clip left. I was on a roll and was in the zone to lay the rounded corners!

have to go to the home depot tomorrow morning so I can finish it. I will post photos tomorrow.

Their are folks who own Harleys, folks who own old cars ect, but their is nothing like being in the family we call Airstreams
Good luck sounds like you got a wonderful family project.
God speed.
