We're trying to buildout a 1971 Airstream with higher quality products and better technology than current ones on the market today. With a budget of just $35,000, this should be interesting :)

OK, hear me out on this. The finishing touch for the exterior of the Airstream......an old-style NASA decal. During the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo days, astronauts were transported to the Launch Pad in an Airstream RV.

@KelsAndJay Год назад

How cool, I had no idea! Thanks for sharing, we'll definitely have to look into this 😊

This is really a fun project ! I literally grew up in an airstream trailer. Back in the ‘60’s and 70’s my parents were teachers in Washington State and we spent many weekends, summers and holidays traveling the US and Canada. I was often the only kid on those long big airstream caravans and traversed the Rocky Mountains with a hundred “grandpas and grandmas” 😂. Someone had a big commercial grill in the their truck and set it up every morning to cook flap jacks, eggs and sausage for everyone. Fun times ! I miss that old land yacht. I hope it brings much joy to your lives and you create as many good memories as I had ! OMG I sound like I’m in a rocking chair 🤣. I want to rebuild one too !!

I love car, boat, engine refurb/rebuild RU-vid content, and I will generally watch two or three ‘episodes’ before subscribing. I like what you do (the airstream is something different) and the style of video presentation, the hours spent setting up shots, cutting and editing are appreciated. I am so pleased the ‘algorithm’ found your channel for me, I have liked and subscribed, looking forward to the next episode.

@mtbevins Год назад

I owned a 1967 Cessna 150 for about 10 years. The build of your trailer is very similar to general aviation aircraft. They too are constructed with aluminum and lots and lots of rivets. These aircraft air-frames last forever. Corrosion can be an issue but overall the structures hold up. MDF bolted to a steel frame ( typical of other trailer builds) is going to have a limit to its life. Aluminum will last much longer. Great build and fun to watch. Thank you.

@Runeforged Год назад

The single most interesting video I’ve seen in a long time. I was a nomad cuz of poverty as a kid from time to time and I have no desire to revisit the lifestyle but the videos you guys make for some reason they are addicting lol. Nice work you two!

@richardhenry5961 Год назад

I'm impressed with you GUYS!!! yOU INSPIRE ME! I don't have an Airstream, but What I have, its already 30+yrs old. It was 4"X8" tilt type trailer I got for free, it needed a lot of work.. I Move the Axle back, re-deck it. Framed it & with side panels going up about the 2/3 the way up. Then put a Canvas roof came down the sides about 1/3 down, it was like a Conestoga. Became my Travel trailer when I did Retail shows. Now, I'm repurposing it once again, making a mini camper out of it. I'm about 1/2 way there. The roof is aluminum, a window on either side. looking good.

After 9 years of full time Airstream living, I will say nothing comes close to the quality, style and the comfort of these timeless beauties! Family members have alway ready started fighting over who inherits the Airstream, and I’m in my 60’s and healthy?!!

Take it with you bruv. Have them bury you in it so you'll spend eternity in the manner that you lived lol

Hello 🎉, Thanks for sharing your story!!! I am 63 years old and a retired. I was waiting to really know all about the Airstream, so I can restore my own, but now what I have seen 😮 I will just build my 8.5 x 20 long car hauler trailer out, and keep my weight down as much as possible. Have a super blessed life 🙏

@RichieRouge206 Год назад

What a great video and you two are such great people! Such enthusiasm and drive through the lows to create something quite special. But you also hit the nail on the head - in the face of cheap, throwaway things these days and low prices we expect - the Airstreams are still of the ‘you get what you pay for’ and once people get their heads around that concept it makes perfect sense.

@paulhoneyman6923 Год назад

1/4 in. So glad to see the spray foam. A clear winner for me in terms of structural benefit, insulating value and probably soundproofing as well.

@kirksway1 Год назад

now that you've removed the finish and polished it to a mirror shine, you will need to repolish about every year to prevent oxidization. yup, that's why they put that finish on at the factory

Our first RV is a 17' Casita (fiberglass) 2019, it costs more but like Airstream it should last way more than 15 yrs. It is good for weekend trips and even a week trip. Our last trip to Big Bend for the New Year we camped with an Airstream group (about 6 of them). I thought they were great, even a couple "restores" and watching these videos is like visual relive from their stores. Anyway wife retires in a couple years and might try this project myself😀.

@MarkusReinisch Год назад

I don‘t know the street laws in USA, but in europe is it not allowed to have a mirror finish at any car. Tank Trucks made from stainless steel have round circles at the surface of the tank to brake the mirror finish. It not allowed because you can distract other drivers with your vehicle. When the sun is pointing at your vehicle it reflects the light everywhere.
