Rebuilt from the
Ground Up
For 63 days, this Airstream's body sat completely separated from its frame. Not patched. Not freshened. Rebuilt the way you'd restore something worth restoring.
The rear six feet of frame were cut away and replaced with new steel. Nearly every outrigger was replaced and welded. The factory joints, many of which had never been welded, were all welded. POR-15 rust preventative was applied throughout. Uprated 3,500-pound Colin Hyde units replaced the original 3,200-pound axles. They sit at a 32-degree down angle. Measured dry weight is 5,755 pounds after water-weight adjustment.
Then every system, including electrical, plumbing, climate, and interior, was rebuilt from scratch. Not upgraded. Built new, on a foundation that will outlast most anything on the road today.
