I took the same approach with the PVC. I used slices of a 1/2” PVC sheet. It worked perfectly.

I can’t say enough good things about this AC/heat pump. I’ve been renovating my ‘81 in the northeast...

Not any more. I picked up an '81 International 27 that had been taken down to the frame for restoration but that owner had only gotten as far as the subfloor reinstallation. With the blank canvas I...

It wasn't hard, but you absolutely MUST resolve the curve before mounting. On my curvy 1981, I needed about 1/2" of filler on the sides and then sort of made my own curve between the side pieces. I...

I got mine at recpro.com, and yes they have the heat pump model. I think that's actually the only model they carry at the 13,500 size of the Belaire. They also have a 9500 BTU model that is AC-only.

I've bought this unit (Houghton Belaire H3400) and have it *mostly* installed now. It's mounted on the roof anyway :) Our AS is undergoing a total renovation and the interior skins are off, so I'm...

@76Argosy28 Nice score! I picked up an 81 International 27 a little over a month ago. I had to drive to Tennessee, but it was in good shape and worth the trip. Now comes the fun part of total...

I received a response from Airstream. Turns out it's a 1981 27' International, and most likely they double stamped or botched the first character and it should be a 1 instead of I.

I'm amazed and...

Thankfully, the sub floor isn't wet. It's completely exposed, and I can see any spots where water has dripped. It seems the water at this point has been limited to between the walls.

I decided to...

I bought my '81 AS a couple months ago as a project and I'm in the process of a full renovation (my first). The seller, a good metal worker and welder but not a former Airstream owner either, had...

It’s pretty close, but with some oddities

It conforms quite closely… It accurately details the model, length, width/frame, axle count, etc, but it has some characters in places that the 1981+ doc describes as “Not Used”. The two items that...
