If you're here you likely don't need a primer on why Airstreams are the best travel trailers in the world, or why they hold their value and their structural integrity exponentially better than their non-Aluminum counterparts. So let's get to it!
This is a delightful little 1971 Airstream Caravel. Great for a tiny home/mother-in-law apt behind or alongside your house, a she-shed/he-shed, Air BnB, you name it! Or drag it all over the country glamping in style! At only 18 feet long and 3300 pounds she can sleep two adults and two small children (or one teenager!) comfortably. No expense was spared for this restoration.
I'll try to be as thorough as possible about what has been done:
The whole interior of the trailer has been painted with several coats of Behr Interior Satin (Polar Bear). Everything works as it should! The following items have been replaced/added:
New glass, all windows have been replaced!
New low-profile Dometic rooftop AC 13,500 BTU! Custom install, as these trailers came stock with a ceiling fan
New custom Acacia floating wood floor with vapor barrier
New custom installed American cherry butcher block countertop
New house battery (12 volt deep cycle)
New Progressive Dynamics Battery intelli-charger/maintainer/inverter
New brass kitchen faucet with extendable spray hose
New custom printed wallpaper throughout
New tin kitchen backsplash from American Tin
New porch light lens
New chrome license plate holder
New red and white striped high quality vinyl awning
New subway tile wall paneling
Lots of new doors and compartments custom made, new custom drawer pulls and latches, reinforced the dinette bench with new custom curved wood shelves where the broken plastic ones were, refinished the cafe table (which lays down to convert the dinette into a bed!) with epoxy paint and replaced the foldout leg
Dometic 3 way refrigerator, 3 burner gas stove range/oven and hood vent/fan, water pump have all been replaced, new hoses and faucet handles for dump valves, every interior bulb replaced with new LED lighting throughout interior, new marker lighting on exterior
In the bathroom: I repainted the counters with Tub Epoxy, installed a new Dometic toilet, new shower head/hose, new custom mosaic glass bathroom tile with Redgard waterproofing installed beneath, subway tile paneling, black penny tile wallpaper, custom printed Shower curtain from Society6, reinforced wall and shelf behind toilet with wood instead of original plastic.
Furnace and water heater are original but function perfectly, I ran new ducting for the furnace along the length of the trailer.
All the interior cracks/lines in the built in furniture in the trailer have been caulked, roof seams recaulked, new window/door/compartment weather stripping throughout trailer
New luxury bedding and pillows all included, plants and books not included
Surface rust removed from frame and repainted with Rustoleum
Bearings repacked, new chrome hubcaps, tires have about 5,000 miles on them
Propane tanks are close to full!
The exterior frame, bumper and tanks have been repainted silver with Rustoleum
Exterior has been polished about 180 hours so far with Jesco and Nuvite products.
