Live Better Electrically
It’s actually been done for almost a year now, but I realized that I should post a gallery of our completed Airstream renovation project. This project started with the purchase of a vintage 1980 Airstream on July 3, 2020 and over the next year it was torn down to the metal shell and rebuilt. Other than purchasing equipment and appliances, all the work was done by us – demolition, cleaning, carpentry, plumbing, electric…even sewing the cushions and curtains.
Generally speaking, the original floor plan was retained for the reconstruction. This trailer is a “Center Bath Rear Twin” model – in the back are twin beds, with the bathroom in the middle section (as opposed to the rear.) It sleeps four by way of the front dinette converting to a queen-sized bed.
While we do not use it in this fashion much ourselves, the trailer is built for dry camping – pre-wire for solar on the roof (6 gauge) and front (10 gauge) enable battery charging options, and all systems save the vacuum, microwave and air conditioner run on 12V (even the TV and stereo.) This model has a 50 gallon fresh water tank and 25 gallon gray and black tanks.
