Angel, I've seen many of your posts and they are great. Funny, I never noticed we're doing the same durn Airstream. OK, I just started on the Sovereign this week. It was parked for 25 years in Big Pine CA (high alt and hot in summer) with the street side facing west, so the tint on those windows has bubbled. Can't wait to see your pics and more description of your technique.

I'll start a thread on my interior modifications as soon as I get the systems operational. It's a center bath, so mostly I'm redoing the bedroom and kitchen counter to start.

Thats so neat...lol

Well we was going to put pergo flooring down and we wanted it to go all under the beds in the rear.But the owner before had a leak back there and try covering it up.By putting a board over it and when i removed the beds my foot fell threw it...lol When we bought the camper the guy told us nothing was wrong but it need tires and the unvolt replace along with all the pluming....Boy how wrong that was...Its rained so much here we haven't been able to get to the floor and frame or to redo the shower and sink.So i start pulling out the vista window which was a good thing i guess while taking out the plex glass the whole thing came out(in the rear with the rest of the leaks...lol)So I decided while there where out..Ill try my hand and some tint....Hopeful by the time am done next year.I will have fixed most of the getting up wet problem too.
