'68 Vintage Airstream

Yeah, so maybe a few weeks turned into a few months, but hey, we finally finished the kitchen in our house!  So I guess it’s not all bad.  Additionally, we haven’t had much rain here so window leaks haven’t been a problem.  We finally fininshed the last window today.  As mentioned in our AirForums post, we used Dow Corning 795 as adhesive in the window hinge.  It’s been holding up great and seems to create a solid, waterproof seal.

So the first window (small) went in October 25, the second, January 3 and the final (replacing the window AC unit) on January 11.  Each ended up taking about 4.5 hrs of scraping, cleaning, trimming, and assembling but they look great!

We also dug out the rotted seals around the fixed windows (above and below the forward windows) and re-sealed them with silicone.  A set of dental picks work great for this application.

Alright, finally, we’ll be digging into the floor next weekend.  We’ve danced around it long enough and now we’re going in.  I see that a local, Austin Airstreamer has been having fun with his floor.  I guess this is the Airstream renovation hotbed right now.  Wish us luck!
