FULLY RESTORED - 1961 Airstream Bambi | Complete Walk Through Tour 

This is obviously a labor of love. What a beautiful restoration! Your hard work has paid off. I love that you saved all the different emblems, warrantees etc. I like the color scheme. The device to hold the lawn chairs is awesome, I always look for the area for storage for chairs, trash and laundry when I view these videos. I can't recall, did you invent the holder for the chair holder? Overall, incredible 👏. Thank you for sharing. I am sure that this is like displaying your baby for the first time. Have you ever thought about doing conversions? You have the knowledge and expertise of what people would like based on having seen your camper and this Airstream restoration.

Its a peace of art Patrick. Super well done. My offer just went up to 125 k, and I know thats not enough. I hope you keep this forever. If I did the work you did on this, I wouldn't take a million for it.

You are justifiably proud of your work and skills used to bring this Baby Airstream back to its glory days. I think I, at 4'10" tall, could live full time in this beauty.

WOW! You did an absolutely IMPECCABLE job restoring that - it's so beautiful. It's nice to see someone put the time into the craftsmanship and the effort to make everything congruous takes a keen eye not everyone has - really really impressive : )

Simply amazing...from a Jersey Girl born in 1961...the year this camper was "born"!

No adjective covers this! ❤️ How proud you must be just being able to stand back and look at how the Bambi turned out.

Beautiful!!! I really like the way the Nest cushions look in there and the color is very vintage looking. Of course I like the whole thing. You could have likely easily bought a new one for the amount you have in it, but yours is truly one-of-a-kind and tastefully done...priceless.

This was bitter sweet for me! My earliest memory maybe 3yrs or younger is camping with my parents. My dad is in his late 60's and my Mom passed away in 2011. We stayed on the beach in a TINY camper. My mom had me at 17!! So this is in 1979. On Matagorda Bay Between Galveston & Courpus Christi. They were poor young hippies scraping by on Love 🥰. We stayed a week in that tiny camper night fishing and all piled in the bed together. I often think of that memory & it fueled my love of tear drops. I can't picture the outside no matter how hard I try. My mom would tell me often, Good thing I was just a baby and had NO clue how broke & hopeless they were. Funny because it's such a treasured memory of mine! When you stepped in your camper I almost fell off my bed!! THIS IS THE EXACT TYPE OF CAMPER WE STAYED IN!!!!! SAME layout, stove, bedding - MIND BLOWN. I have looked for years! Now I know the outside, the details as an adult! It was an OLD pretty rough original they had rented then! Made me get a lump in my throat. I see my mom so young and vibrant enjoying the adventure! My mom was hardly older then I am now when she passed. She battled stage 4 Breast Cancer for 9yrs. and by then there wasn't much left of her or her spirit. She would later say we were "camping" waiting on a furnished apartment to become available. Had it not been for that tiny camper we would have been homeless! Funny how innocent kids are, as long as they are loved and feel safe, they have no clue how precarious things are. She looked back at those days as making the best of a desperate situation. Probably fishing out of the mere necessity too. I see my first adventure that fueled a lifetime love of Camping, the beach and a obsession with tiny little trailers 🥰😍😇 Thank you for the trip down memory lane & solving a lifetime Mystery! 😉⛺️🏖

AAAA-MAAAAZ-ING!!! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO.... YOU NAILED IT PATRICK!!!

The end product is a testimony of love. The perfect blend of upgrades while keeping the original flavour. Excellent job Patrick. I can't believe you found perfect cushions! So well done. High five!

Great job! Beautiful vintage model, lucky you! You will never be alone at any campground. This is a people magnet.

Patrick, you out did yourself, what a great job, so detailed, very impressive. You are a true craftsman. Thank you.

I have a 2005 , 75th anniversary Bambi ( Thor ). I love my Bambi but have to say the original is so well made! My floor rotted out and I had to have it replaced. It was impressive to see how well the original was made. I prefer my layout but something very special about yours. Your craftsmanship had made your Bambi priceless !

Absolute perfection. I really admire how much time and thought you put into the restoration. Maintaining as many original components as possible adds to the authenticity. Your work is impeccable Patrick! I hope you enjoy the finished product for many years to come.

***..What an "AMAZING job !! Congratulations !! you've re-created a "FANTASTIC" Airstream Bambi !!***

Beautiful. I love the simple clean look. The walnut complements the color scheme and smooth surfaces perfectly. Your craftsmanship is amazing.

Awesome rebuild! I love Airstream trailers. When I was stationed at George Air Force Base in Victorville, CA, every winter thousands of Airstreams would fill the fairgrounds with snowbirds.

OMG!!I'm getting emotional. This is a work of art. You did exceptional work.

To think this beautiful sweet treasure was made when I turned 7 yrs old. This is a true treasure!! This is something that you will never regret doing. I love it. Thank you for sharing your love you put into this home.

Your ability to not only plan but execute the plan is phenomenal. I most enjoy your tour and its complete explanation of all the details. A most enjoyable viewing! Than you

What a BEAUTIFUL job you did on that 61 Airstream!

I somehow missed this video when it originally posted. RU-vid recommended it today. I love your enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing this with. It's fantastic.

This is soooo nice. I could live in this full time. Id even trade my van for this. Maybe. You did a great job! Thank you for sharing this and for all the work, sweat, heart and soul you put into the remodel.

I still have one of those label makers! This tiny home is exquisite! Thanks for sharing! Never lose sight of your bliss...

Outstanding job blending the original components with modern technology!

I love Patrick's attention to detail. Good job, as usual, Patrick!

Back in the 70s we went to an air stream gathering . I can't remember how many where there but that was my first time seeing the inside of different airstream. There where long ones , baby ones and some middle sized . We where they with a square dance club doing a demo . I remember the shine on the airstream and lots of great food. You did an amazing job bringing this one back to life .

Your baby! Your Bambi! REBORN! Absolutely breathtaking!

incredible restoration. the old girl has a new lease on life...enjoyed watching.

Fantastic how you have restored this camper. Even the little fans look the part. Beautiful

This is probably my favorite youtube channel

Ive always liked the look of an airstream trailer

Your Bambi is lovely

That’s an absolute work of art!

This is the best video I've watched on RV living.

Watched all your videos from start to finish. I'm restoring a 58 Steamline trailer and I found a lot of great information in your build. Excellent Job!

You did an amazing job with this resto-mod, I love your attention to detail. I had a chuckle when you mentioned the old school labels and having someone on Etsy make them, I still have one of those label makers and use it occasionally. They were the original cordless label maker😁.

Simply beautiful.

Patrick, I am a Jersey Girl born and raised and still here, it would be so very cool 😎 to meet you sometime. I do not travel on a van but so love and enjoy your posts. Keep it going. So very cool.

Reminds me of a 60’s diner or ice cream parlor😊. A work of art!

No rime or reason, It's just a Labor Of Love. Well done.

This restoration is amazingly detailed. Incredible job! Just beautiful 😍

Top-of-the-line tour. And a sweet, perfect size trailer.

It’s a beauty. I know you are so proud of her!

Superb! Thanks for the outstanding content.

Patrick ..another WOW!! all your hard work came out really beautiful .. It is great to see the completion... definitely a labor of love Enjoy🙏🏾

Absolutely beautiful…a labor of love

After thoughts:: 1. Thanks also for new ideas like adding the low-point drainage points and securing the inverter on the fold down panel, and the Battle Born with heater - I can use those hints! 2. Seeing the tear drop running lights and large round tail lights reminded me how my brother and sister-in-law had a car-show business geared to antique autos/vehicles. I actually still have some of the tear drops and old bulbs which could be available for you to give to others who are doing a similar restoration if you want them. 3. Oh, and now I know what those pyramid-looking frames in the cellar are - old stabilizers!

Beautiful Airstream, amazing restoration

You did an AMAZING job! I absolutely love your passion for Airstream! Enjoy!!!

I have been watching and enjoying your tour videos. And I'd have to say that this renovation tour of your beautiful Airstream Bambi is absolutely wonderful. Your attention to the Airstream details and the knowledge you have of Airstream Campers, makes this video so special. Thanks for sharing this Jewel with all of us. Great job Patrick, she's a beauty!

Just stunning. I could just tell that the love you were putting into this camper was going to pay dividends and it does not disappoint. The way you hid the outdoor shower was genius.

What an amazing restoration you've done, Patrick! She's just beautiful, and I know you'll have decades of incredible adventures with her.

Patrick that is amazing work. The Bambi was lucky to have found you.

Wow! All your hard work and attention to detail has paid off! It came out great! Now it’s time to enjoy it! Maybe you need to design a new trailer line for Airstream and call it “The Patrick” 😆

Very good restoration. Looks amazing. You updated it without ruining the retro look. Nothing beats an Airstream. Very good job Patrick. 👍👍👍

Patrick you did Amazing job

Love every detail Best Bambi ever^..^

Patrick, so excited to see your completed refurbishing of this beautiful 1961 Bambi. Nobody does a better job than you on Airstream tours. Your love , appreciation, and knowledge of the Airstream is incomparable and I find myself glued to your videos. You have re-boosted my determination to one day have my dream come true of owning a Bambi. Beautiful work you have done on your restoration. So enjoyed the tour, thank you!

Wonderful mix of vintage and new. The shells really do last a lifetime, except for golf ball size hail.

Wow! Absolutely beautiful! So much attention to detail. Fantastic job! Thank you for posting! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻

You definitely found a diamond in the rough you did a excellent job on remodeling this airstream I wish it was mine lol keep up the good work be blessed thank you for your presentation.

Wow! Awesome job Patrick! Absolutely beautiful

So much thought went into this restoration mod. Beautiful!

Yo Patrick, You should be Extremely Proud of this restoration. Gorgeous. A great mix of new and old. CONGRATZ

Stellar! I was born in 1961, and I am a Gypsy descendant. I have a 1/18 scales of this style. I keep it as a symbolic representation of my love for 'caravans' and my itinerant Spirit. Great seeing the real thing. (Im from Atlantic City myself). Amazing job, Jersey!

EXCELLENT work and design!

I think it’s so cute and even the name. Bambi 🥹

Awesome reconstruction with upgrades

So happy to see the final project. Enjoy 😉

Spectacular! Love the walnut and also the bright white. I love how you restored as many components as you could. Love love the cooktop. Fantastic job Patrick. Oh My!!!

I cross my tow chains so if the trailer comes loose the tongue falls on the chains. Great restoration.

What a wonderful job of restoring, not renovating! The thought you put into keeping vintage parts, polishing original parts, etc., keeping original ideas while adding newer and necessary updates is impressive. Things like keeping the old vent outside but sealing it indoors, keeping the original battery container and repurposing it, hiding the new heater output so nicely, keeping the original drawer system (not putting in new punch-button ones) are so thoughtful. Ditto hiding your outdoor shower - that all impressed me. Kudos!

It’s perfect! Everything turned out so well, in particular those cushions are kick as#. I love your table and countertop (beautiful wood and finish). The toilet base that your friend made really looks good. Your obviously a perfectionist and it shows, thanks for sharing it with us.

Patrick, great restoration! You have the advantage of working with RVs and the knowledge to know what you wanted in your Airstream. Love the little touches you made and your explanation of everything. Those Airstream cushions are quality! How fortunate you found a replacement that would fit. Loved the vintage color and style as well. I think you turned a lot of people on to Airstream replacement cushions for their rigs. I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your RV this time.

Fabulous, Patrick!

Wow, you did an exceptional job here. Everything is so nice.

Absolutely fantastic job Patrick~~

Wow Patrick this is stunning! You really put a lot of love into this & it shows In spades! You should be very proud of this! It's a real masterpiece! Thanks for showing us! Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year 2022 Patrick!. I really love all your videos & it's even better when it's something you have done yourself!

It’s beautiful. Very well done.

Really well made, nice esthetic, a good amount of space a lot of good designed organizations

Just beautiful Patrick, thank you for sharing, a joy to see.

This is awesome!!! So nice! It literally has everything you need

Wonderful job and attention to detail. Great to see the steps to achieve the final result.

Great job Patrick, thank you for sharing.

Beautifully and thoughtfully done!

awesome build...very well planned out...love all the cut offs and designs

You could make really good money restoring these for other people as well. The choice of countertop is not consistent with the time frame it was built, as well as the flooring, but you definitely did a beautiful job on it. This is my second time watching it because I really like the video. Beautiful job⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! I really love it! You have a beautiful Airstream trailer.

Congratulations Patrick!! You must be so thrilled and proud. Well done, you!
