Hey Steve, I used birch veneer for for the walls, ceiling and finally to cover all the cabinets. It was a long and tedious project. At one point, due to humidity, the ceiling started to bubble. I was totally sick. Thinking that I had done all that work for nothing. I rerolled the ceiling over and over finally getting it to re-stick. I then immediately sealed the veneer with sanding sealer. That did the trick. Don't use 1/8" ply as it will not work on the compound angles. I tried many times to use it and cut the cost of the veneer. Also, if you veneer, make sure that you order it with the same grain pattern (one tree) so that your grain lines up. Good luck. Kenny

What an awesome job you've done with the Airstream. Love the colors you chose as well!
I can't wait to see the next issue of Airstream Life the picture of you with the palm trees and surf boards is very cool...

G (AirHog), Do you have pics of your completed interior? Would love to see them. I think I am speaking for many on this board.

Airhog,
Your first two posts in this thread are supposed to contain pix. But there are no pix there any longer (or maybe never were).
What's up with that? Can you please re-place them?
BTW you are still shown as a dealer. Are you back? I thought you were boilin' footlongs for Sonic.?????
Did you get to Arlington for the blowout? Please take A&M's coach along with Jerry Jones, his "cowgirls" and the new monstrosity of a stadium back to the hills of Arky forever.

I realize this is an old post but I just puchased the '75 Sovereign with the beautiful black cabinets and rope trim! It is a dream come true! I bought it in Texarkana and now it's currently on its way to Estes Park, Colorado to live for the next 6 months. Then who knows! Thank you for a lovely trailer. I've been looking for over a year for The One.

Now I See, you bought the 1975 Sovereign with the black cabinets with the pictures in this thread. Glad to see this Airstream being passed on to someone who will take care of her.

Yes! She came from great guys who took excellent care of her and did some amazing work! My new husband and I plan to travel the coutry and work at the National Parks. We'll be in Rocky Mountain this summer and find out sometime in July/Aug where we will go for winter. I'm hoping Big Bend!

The integrity of the trailer is as well kept as the interior is beautiful. I'm very happy to say. No sag or seperation in the bumper, solid body, solid floors, and beautiful blue and white striped awnings! Tanks are all in working order as well as the heat/A/C.
I did paint the walls. It was a bit too dark in here for us to comfortably live full time. The cabinets are still black though. They are so beautifully done I couldn't change that.
