Nice job Tim, I would like to see it in person. We did wonder if the TwinTemp Jr uses more LP than the hot water tank and furnace it replaces when it's operating or about the same?
The parting shot with the front light sconces was a nice touch, but we might be partial, they came from our Overlander.

Great video Tim. I was surprised, not one adult beverage in the refer to celebrate such a fine restoration. I'm sure that's been corrected since the video was completed.

Tim,
What a improvement! I think you should quit your day job and go into businees for yourself restoring trailers. Kind of a GSM west thing!

Thanks everyone. We're real pleased with the way it turned out.
Don, love those lights. They a perfect fit!
I know I read the TwinTemp uses less LP than a pilot water heater since it only uses LP when needed. I'm not sure how it stacks up to a water heater and furnace together.
My guess would be less since its not heating a large burner like in a furnace.

The only time they are really done is the day it heads down the road behind someone else's tow vehicle - that would be a very sad day for me as I'm sure most of you. I have a love affair with every vehicle and trailer I own it seems. As for that light at the end of the tunnel, a time or two I've bitten off more than I could handle at the time and that light turned out to have a train attached to it.
You sure do nice work and in short order at that. I've been kicking at mine for almost five years now and I keep getting new ideas and rehashing old ones. It never ends and that is a good thing in my mind - my wife isn't so sure.
Take care,
Barry

Restoration Video
Tim...........what a great video!!!!!
The folks at work think I am crazy because all I do is talk about Airstreams. I gathered a group together yesterday to see Your video and now two of the guys are talking about buying an Airstream and restoring. They are finding all kinds of reasons....
Your video is quite an inspiration.....good job on the restoration!!

Hey Tim. I saw your video. It was really good. I liked seeing Silver Threads curtains in it. I remember going over to her house when she was making those curtains. They turned out very good. I always wonder what the curtains she makes will look like in all the different campers she makes them for. Now I finally get to see. I wish I had her talent. Beautiful airstream Tim.
