More and more often we are finding that many folks are very unhappy with the lack of mechanical knowledge when it comes to travel trailer repair shops.
Airstream Restorations Starts with CAD Drawings
As our business continues to grow worldwide we have had to implement more sophisticated technology to keep up with the demand for restoration details and efficiency.
The corporate world(s) have suggested years ago the need to have print capabilities. Now the day has come for “CAD” mapping since many Airstreams are being designed with many complicated profiles and floor-plans.

Custom Upholstering, Fabric Design, and Interior Finishes
After all the planning, the repairs and replacement items, the original Airstream project is ready for those touches that make it a gem and a travel niche leader.
Coordination of the different elements of fabric color, sample texture and personal patterns, the interior theme and accent qualities are complete.

Body Off, Danger On!
My style of writing is short, and to the point with few question marks.
By BLOGS are more “cowboy” than HARVARD, but most folks get my points. For the cowboy blog today, I am going to speak (write) loud and clear about the dangers of taking a body off an older Airstream Trailer and replacing the rust, rats, and compromised aluminum with healthy newly manufactured replacement steel.
The challenge is and always has been for the novice is, an understanding of the complexities of how the round peg goes into the round hole!
Without this knowledge or experience (which most folks have ‘NONE”) the Airstream restoration project will never be road worthy and safe for you, your family or business.
Insulating the Accident
How many times have we seen a beautiful Airstream trailer sitting in a dealer’s lot waiting for its turn to get repaired.
The remains of a horrible accident or a mistake in judgement while backing up. Often times this reveals only the surface problems.
Amazing Growth and Lifestyle
Being involved with so many aspects of trailering, I recently came across an interview with the President of Winnebago (parent company of Airstream).
The interview was fascinating. Fifteen minutes of nothing but positive input and recognition for a pioneering company and exciting niche.

Forty Seven Year Old Holding Tank!
Just the thought of using a run-down worn out grey and black combo sewage tank makes me shiver. More than shiver, these dinosaurs have a little if any capacity to protect trailer occupants and stay sanitized.
Imagine the lack of efficiency of all the fittings, decomposed glue, and worn out plastic. Therefore, there is no efficiency with any connections. For all to see, this is a health hazard and a must to rehab the rotted molding flooring as well as the frame which the tank sits on and probably leaks continuously.

Cold Weather Nightmare!
So, you said you winterized your Airstream trailer and put plenty of “anti-freeze” down the shower drain for winter temperatures.
Well then why was there water, and soggy carpet throughout the trailer in the spring?
Upgrading Interior and Design
To spotlight all our hard work and engineering vision for our Airstream trailers it became a must to add a design component to round out a very important “fashion department”.
To glue color, texture, fabrics and replacement for all to see and all to choose from is very important. This, to me, is one of the most gratifying parts of “trusting the process'” since it pulls all the loose ends together and allows the client a chance to step back, use personal experiences, and their gut.
Missing, Broken, & Leaky Windows.
From day one, the word “window” has been a problem for millions of road travelers that need a tight seal with no leaks., and no sweating. If there is one single flaw regarding Airstream trailers manufactured before 1970 it’s the fact that few open and close without the seals cracking and the frames shifting out of plum eliminating moisture.
