Rivets

Sooo... as with all AS owners, I am experiencing a few rivet pops through the interior.
Any advice as to what replacement rivets and a gun?

I'm sure the Airstream Supply one is nice, but I'd save $100 and just get a decent brand one, like this Arrow.

I went through the owner’s manual for the list of rivets then bought a bag of each from Airstream Supply like Pete and made my own kit. I already had a Dewalt rivet gun.

Don’t forget get pack the correct drill bit for each size rivet.

I ordered all the rivets I needed from Airstream Supply and shipping was only $5. I then ordered the same Marson HP-2 rivet tool they sell in the kit from Amazon.

I started with a cheap rivet gun, bought it in Terlingua, TX when we visited Big Bend out of necessity. I bought the Marson rivet tool that has the swivel head. Works much better.
