Getting started

The floors are rotting away at the edges from the leaks in the body, the vinyl walls have halfway been removed (have been popping off the rivets with a hammer, not the right way since there is no electricity where we are storing the Airstream). Once all the vinyl is off we will be seeking and destroying all the little leaks, most of which I am guessing come from the windows, all the while scratching off the black residue left by the 50 year old insulation. 

Sadly the cool stuff, like off-grid appliances and furniture building, will have to come after the boring stuff, electricity and plumbing. Nonetheless my girlfriend's work, her mom's work, and my dad's job site are providing us with enough broken pine pallets to make Pinterest ashamed and want to rethink its life decisions. With this seemingly limitless free wood, we plan on building all our furniture, since Ikea doesn't sell too much that fits the roundness of an Airstream.

The door frame is 5'5" high. You don't  notice because you're more concerned with the two foot drop to gravel.

There's something just so awful about these. Underneath is the black tank, which will be removed and not replaced.

Ours is only 26' long on the outside (where Airstreams lengths are measured). This creates a design challenge, since we will be dealing with about 150 sq ft.
