This is obviously a labor of love. What a beautiful restoration! Your hard work has paid off. I love that you saved all the different emblems, warrantees etc. I like the color scheme. The device to hold the lawn chairs is awesome, I always look for the area for storage for chairs, trash and laundry when I view these videos. I can't recall, did you invent the holder for the chair holder? Overall, incredible 👏. Thank you for sharing. I am sure that this is like displaying your baby for the first time. Have you ever thought about doing conversions? You have the knowledge and expertise of what people would like based on having seen your camper and this Airstream restoration.
Thank you very much. Yes, I designed the chair holder out of scrap wood. It was probably the simplest project I did on this Bambi but one of my most favorite
Yes, agreed
WOW! You did an absolutely IMPECCABLE job restoring that - it's so beautiful. It's nice to see someone put the time into the craftsmanship and the effort to make everything congruous takes a keen eye not everyone has - really really impressive : )
Thank you very much
Its a peace of art Patrick. Super well done. My offer just went up to 125 k, and I know thats not enough. I hope you keep this forever. If I did the work you did on this, I wouldn't take a million for it.
Thank you very much Dude
It's PIECE not 'peace'
@@garethlewis3647 You must be awful to be around.
@@garethlewis3647 No need to TROLL. I think "peace" is appropriate. After all, it is a vintage trailer from the 60s.
@@JL-nb3dh i agree Patrick did a fabulous job.
No adjective covers this! ❤️ How proud you must be just being able to stand back and look at how the Bambi turned out.
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful!!! I really like the way the Nest cushions look in there and the color is very vintage looking. Of course I like the whole thing. You could have likely easily bought a new one for the amount you have in it, but yours is truly one-of-a-kind and tastefully done...priceless.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Simply amazing...from a Jersey Girl born in 1961...the year this camper was "born"!
Thank you very much Alison
Great job! Beautiful vintage model, lucky you! You will never be alone at any campground. This is a people magnet.
Thank you very much
This is soooo nice. I could live in this full time. Id even trade my van for this. Maybe. You did a great job!
Thank you for sharing this and for all the work, sweat, heart and soul you put into the remodel.
Thank you 🙏🏼
***..What an "AMAZING job !! Congratulations !! you've re-created a "FANTASTIC" Airstream Bambi !!***
Thank you so much Andree!!
Patrick, you out did yourself, what a great job, so detailed, very impressive. You are a true craftsman. Thank you.
Patrick is a true craftsman and he seems like a true gentleman as well.
@@debraderoos5225 I agree.
Thank you very much
Thank you Debra 😊
Thank you
Awesome rebuild! I love Airstream trailers. When I was stationed at George Air Force Base in Victorville, CA, every winter thousands of Airstreams would fill the fairgrounds with snowbirds.
Thanks Alexander and thank you for your service
Beautiful. I love the simple clean look. The walnut complements the color scheme and smooth surfaces perfectly. Your craftsmanship is amazing.
Thank you very much Betsy
The end product is a testimony of love. The perfect blend of upgrades while keeping the original flavour. Excellent job Patrick.
I can't believe you found perfect cushions!
So well done. High five!
Thank you very much Emmie
I have a 2005 , 75th anniversary Bambi ( Thor ). I love my Bambi but have to say the original is so well made! My floor rotted out and I had to have it replaced. It was impressive to see how well the original was made. I prefer my layout but something very special about yours. Your craftsmanship had made your Bambi priceless !
Maintenance and preventable maintenance is key. The floor will rot when exposed to water for more than 180 days. Always inspect your RV inside and out.
OMG!!I'm getting emotional. This is a work of art. You did exceptional work.
Thank you very much Sharlien
Absolute perfection. I really admire how much time and thought you put into the restoration. Maintaining as many original components as possible adds to the authenticity. Your work is impeccable Patrick! I hope you enjoy the finished product for many years to come.
Thank you very much, you made my day
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures 😊
You did an amazing job with this resto-mod, I love your attention to detail. I had a chuckle when you mentioned the old school labels and having someone on Etsy make them, I still have one of those label makers and use it occasionally. They were the original cordless label maker😁.
Thank you very much
My dad had one when I was a kid. I wonder how much of his label tape I wasted playing with it!
AAAA-MAAAAZ-ING!!!
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO....
YOU NAILED IT PATRICK!!!
Thank you Matthew
I still have one of those label makers! This tiny home is exquisite! Thanks for sharing! Never lose sight of your bliss...
Thanks Michele
Wow! All your hard work and attention to detail has paid off! It came out great! Now it’s time to enjoy it! Maybe you need to design a new trailer line for Airstream and call it “The Patrick” 😆
Thank you very much. Looking forward to it
This was bitter sweet for me! My earliest memory maybe 3yrs or younger is camping with my parents. My dad is in his late 60's and my Mom passed away in 2011. We stayed on the beach in a TINY camper. My mom had me at 17!! So this is in 1979. On Matagorda Bay Between Galveston & Courpus Christi. They were poor young hippies scraping by on Love 🥰. We stayed a week in that tiny camper night fishing and all piled in the bed together. I often think of that memory & it fueled my love of tear drops. I can't picture the outside no matter how hard I try. My mom would tell me often, Good thing I was just a baby and had NO clue how broke & hopeless they were. Funny because it's such a treasured memory of mine! When you stepped in your camper I almost fell off my bed!! THIS IS THE EXACT TYPE OF CAMPER WE STAYED IN!!!!! SAME layout, stove, bedding - MIND BLOWN. I have looked for years! Now I know the outside, the details as an adult! It was an OLD pretty rough original they had rented then! Made me get a lump in my throat. I see my mom so young and vibrant enjoying the adventure! My mom was hardly older then I am now when she passed. She battled stage 4 Breast Cancer for 9yrs. and by then there wasn't much left of her or her spirit.
She would later say we were "camping" waiting on a furnished apartment to become available. Had it not been for that tiny camper we would have been homeless! Funny how innocent kids are, as long as they are loved and feel safe, they have no clue how precarious things are. She looked back at those days as making the best of a desperate situation. Probably fishing out of the mere necessity too. I see my first adventure that fueled a lifetime love of Camping, the beach and a obsession with tiny little trailers 🥰😍😇
Thank you for the trip down memory lane & solving a lifetime Mystery! 😉⛺️🏖
Thank you for sharing that, it was really nice to read this morning
Back in the 70s we went to an air stream gathering . I can't remember how many where there but that was my first time seeing the inside of different airstream. There where long ones , baby ones and some middle sized . We where they with a square dance club doing a demo . I remember the shine on the airstream and lots of great food. You did an amazing job bringing this one back to life .
Oh wow, thanks for sharing
I somehow missed this video when it originally posted. UA-cam recommended it today. I love your enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing this with. It's fantastic.
Glad you found it
You are justifiably proud of your work and skills used to bring this Baby Airstream back to its glory days. I think I, at 4'10" tall, could live full time in this beauty.
Thank you very much Alice
Your ability to not only plan but execute the plan is phenomenal. I most enjoy your tour and its complete explanation of all the details. A most enjoyable viewing! Than you
Thank you very much. I pretty much stayed on track from the original tour from two years ago
What a BEAUTIFUL job you did on that 61 Airstream!
Thank you very much. Lots of fun, however many challenges
Outstanding job blending the original components with modern technology!
I am happy you enjoyed it
Watched all your videos from start to finish. I'm restoring a 58 Steamline trailer and I found a lot of great information in your build. Excellent Job!
Glad it was helpful
Best of luck with your restoration, Python! I hope you can meet up with Patrick for a tour when you are done. I think his tours are always fun to watch.
I love Patrick's attention to detail. Good job, as usual, Patrick!
Thank you very much Mike
incredible restoration. the old girl has a new lease on life...enjoyed watching.
Thank you very much
Fantastic how you have restored this camper. Even the little fans look the part. Beautiful
Thank you very much
Reminds me of a 60’s diner or ice cream parlor😊. A work of art!
Glad you found the channel
Patrick ..another WOW!!
all your hard work came out really beautiful ..
It is great to see the completion... definitely a labor of love
Enjoy🙏🏾
Thank you very much
Just stunning. I could just tell that the love you were putting into this camper was going to pay dividends and it does not disappoint. The way you hid the outdoor shower was genius.
Thank you Maureen
To think this beautiful sweet treasure was made when I turned 7 yrs old. This is a true treasure!! This is something that you will never regret doing. I love it. Thank you for sharing your love you put into this home.
Thank you very much April
Patrick, I am a Jersey Girl born and raised and still here, it would be so very cool 😎 to meet you sometime. I do not travel on a van but so love and enjoy your posts. Keep it going. So very cool.
Looking forward to it Janet
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures love your Bambi trailer you just renovated so cute and interesting. I hope you are going to keep her and enjoy her also as you dobyour other Airstream van.
You definitely found a diamond in the rough you did a excellent job on remodeling this airstream I wish it was mine lol keep up the good work be blessed thank you for your presentation.
Appreciate the support
Wonderful mix of vintage and new. The shells really do last a lifetime, except for golf ball size hail.
Appreciate the support
After thoughts::
1. Thanks also for new ideas like adding the low-point drainage points and securing the inverter on the fold down panel, and the Battle Born with heater - I can use those hints!
2. Seeing the tear drop running lights and large round tail lights reminded me how my brother and sister-in-law had a car-show business geared to antique autos/vehicles.
I actually still have some of the tear drops and old bulbs which could be available for you to give to others who are doing a similar restoration if you want them.
3. Oh, and now I know what those pyramid-looking frames in the cellar are - old stabilizers!
Thank you very much. I still have the original side teardrop lights. I upgraded to the LED reproduced ones because they are safer and weather tight.
Yo Patrick, You should be Extremely Proud of this restoration. Gorgeous. A great mix of new and old. CONGRATZ
Thank you Gerald
Top-of-the-line tour. And a sweet, perfect size trailer.
Thank you 😊
You did an AMAZING job! I absolutely love your passion for Airstream! Enjoy!!!
Thank you very much
Your Bambi is lovely
Appreciate the feedback
Patrick that is amazing work. The Bambi was lucky to have found you.
Thank you very much Amy
Love every detail Best Bambi ever^..^
Thank you Toni
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! So much attention to detail. Fantastic job! Thank you for posting!
✌🏻🙂✌🏻
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it
I have been watching and enjoying your tour videos. And I'd have to say that this renovation tour of your beautiful Airstream Bambi is absolutely wonderful. Your attention to the Airstream details and the knowledge you have of Airstream Campers, makes this video so special. Thanks for sharing this Jewel with all of us. Great job Patrick, she's a beauty!
Thank you very much Laura
It’s a beauty. I know you are so proud of her!
Thank you very much
This is probably my favorite youtube channel
Thank you very much Charles
I cross my tow chains so if the trailer comes loose the tongue falls on the chains. Great restoration.
Yes, best practice
This is the best video I've watched on RV living.
Thank you 🙏🏼 so much
Ive always liked the look of an airstream trailer
Me too
What an amazing restoration you've done, Patrick! She's just beautiful, and I know you'll have decades of incredible adventures with her.
Thank you very much Karen
Spectacular! Love the walnut and also the bright white. I love how you restored as many components as you could. Love love the cooktop. Fantastic job Patrick. Oh My!!!
Thank you Dory

Thank you for the support. See you at Hershey
Stellar! I was born in 1961, and I am a Gypsy descendant. I have a 1/18 scales of this style. I keep it as a symbolic representation of my love for 'caravans' and my itinerant Spirit. Great seeing the real thing. (Im from Atlantic City myself). Amazing job, Jersey!
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good restoration. Looks amazing. You updated it without ruining the retro look. Nothing beats an Airstream. Very good job Patrick. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Your baby! Your Bambi!
REBORN!
Absolutely breathtaking!
Wow, thank you Janet
This restoration is amazingly detailed. Incredible job! Just beautiful 😍
Thank you 🙏🏼
I agree!!
Patrick, so excited to see your completed refurbishing of this beautiful 1961 Bambi. Nobody does a better job than you on Airstream tours. Your love , appreciation, and knowledge of the Airstream is incomparable and I find myself glued to your videos. You have re-boosted my determination to one day have my dream come true of owning a Bambi. Beautiful work you have done on your restoration. So enjoyed the tour, thank you!
Thank you very much, you made my night.
That’s an absolute work of art!
Thank you Donald
What a wonderful job of restoring, not renovating!
The thought you put into keeping vintage parts, polishing original parts, etc., keeping original ideas while adding newer and necessary updates is impressive.
Things like keeping the old vent outside but sealing it indoors, keeping the original battery container and repurposing it, hiding the new heater output so nicely, keeping the original drawer system (not putting in new punch-button ones) are so thoughtful.
Ditto hiding your outdoor shower - that all impressed me.
Kudos!
Glad you liked my direction
Patrick, great restoration! You have the advantage of working with RVs and the knowledge to know what you wanted in your Airstream. Love the little touches you made and your explanation of everything. Those Airstream cushions are quality! How fortunate you found a replacement that would fit. Loved the vintage color and style as well. I think you turned a lot of people on to Airstream replacement cushions for their rigs. I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your RV this time.
Thank you very much, I am happy you enjoyed and appreciated it
Patrick you did Amazing job
Thank you Torrie
It’s perfect! Everything turned out so well, in particular those cushions are kick as#. I love your table and countertop (beautiful wood and finish). The toilet base that your friend made really looks good. Your obviously a perfectionist and it shows, thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks so much! 😊
Absolutely beautiful…a labor of love
Thank you Michael
You could make really good money restoring these for other people as well. The choice of countertop is not consistent with the time frame it was built, as well as the flooring, but you definitely did a beautiful job on it. This is my second time watching it because I really like the video. Beautiful job⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not with this one, too much labor time.
Superb! Thanks for the outstanding content.
Thank you Dr Mott
Simply beautiful.
Thank you very much George
Wow! Awesome job Patrick! Absolutely beautiful
Thank you very much
So much thought went into this restoration mod. Beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed the tour
Damn Patrick just now seeing your camper renovation. Was watching when you first started then got busy with life and just now back on your channel checking out your interviews. But she's beautiful and your tastes exquisite! TotLly beautiful!
Thank you for checking back
I think it’s so cute and even the name. Bambi 🥹
Yes Bambi 🥰
Really well made, nice esthetic, a good amount of space a lot of good designed organizations
Appreciate the feedback
Beautiful Restoration Patrick!.. The only thing missing is a Hot Blonde!…
Thank you very much Steve
I adored your impression of a proud parent! It's absolutely beautiful, kudos to you Patrick. x
Thank you very much Heather
Wow Patrick this is stunning! You really put a lot of love into this & it shows In spades! You should be very proud of this! It's a real masterpiece! Thanks for showing us! Have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year 2022 Patrick!. I really love all your videos & it's even better when it's something you have done yourself!
Thank you very much Roger. I really appreciate it
Beautiful Airstream, amazing restoration
Thank you very much Noah
Just as soon as I saw your trailer I thought about a cartoon I have from a book Called "best cartoons of 1952". Anyway the the couple living in a trailer like yours and she comes home and says; "Checked the X-rays and it is Triplets!"
Oh wow that’s really cool
No rime or reason, It's just a Labor Of Love. Well done.
Wow, you really did an OUTSTANDING job restoring this baby! I think I would have to pull it with a truck, with a shell that has a back door, or an SUV, with storage capability built into the back 1/2., so that I'd have a place for xtra things that can't find a place in the Bambi. It's pretty storage-challenged, but GORGEOUS! xo
Thank you very much!
Wow, you did an exceptional job here. Everything is so nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Impressive build, beautiful round design reminds me of the Porsche cars of the same time period. Wants me to live the life of that same period. Maybe this camper wil bring you back to that beautiful time a little.
Yes, beautiful things came in the 1960’s
Fabulous workmanship from concept to completion..the journey has arrived⚓🔵
Thank you very much Neva
Just beautiful Patrick, thank you for sharing, a joy to see.
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing work on an amazing Airstream. We've owned a bunch of RVs including motor coaches. Our favorite was a 27-foot Airstream that we bought used. We should have kept it and would be lots richer. LOL
Thank you for the kind words
Wow it's beautiful 😍! Love it! It's so cool! You made a fantastic creation & be so proud of your craft & talent. My dream is to have an Airstream, but it's only a dream. We got a Retro that we call the Silva bullet! Haha. Enjoy your baby.
Thanks for the kind words
Way to go, Raymond, Deb's going to be pumped.
Ha
So happy to see the final project. Enjoy 😉
Thank you 🙏🏼
This is a fantastic job. The Nest cushions are the cherry on the top IMO. I am with you about the AC unit spoiling the outside lines- which is why those models with it look better up close 😉. If I were made of money AND doing a frame off rehab, I would look into an under chassis condenser.
Thank you very much Thomas
This is awesome!!! So nice! It literally has everything you need
It really does
Absolutely 💯 gorgeous 😍 A real labour of love ❤
🍁👵🇨🇦
Thank you Valerie
EXCELLENT work and design!
Thank you Joyce
Wonderful job and attention to detail. Great to see the steps to achieve the final result.
Thank you very much
Beautiful restoration on the stove. I think that you did a great job on the choice of a refrigerator, it does not clash regarding style, in particular the white front that matches the stove.
Thank you very much. Emma
Awesome reconstruction with upgrades
Thank you very much Camey
Wow! I really love it! You have a beautiful Airstream trailer.
Thank you very much April
Patrick youve done an absolute awesome job on this! Be proud! I'm only hoping you have children or nieces/nephews to pass along your wonderful love and knowledge of campers!! 💖💖
Thank you very much Stephanie
I've been waiting to see the final tour... I love how you did the restoration!
I’m happy you enjoyed it
Love the videos . I think it’s cool that Ray Ramano does Van Life
Ha ha Thanks.
