- Part I desribes the water damage repair from preparation of the trailer, to demolition of the floor, to sealing the leak. Parts II and III will cover installing the new good floor into the C Channel and installing a cork and tile floor in the Airstream.
Great video. Just discovered floor rot in the back of my 27' international 2007.
excellent how to.....thanks so much
Very helpful video! Any chance you'll post the installation of the new flooring?
Yes please! Eagerly awaiting the next parts. I'm trying to tackle this myself this week on a 1967 version of your camper.
7 years later and I don't see a part 2 or 3
great video!! it's my dream to own an airstream one day and i'm already taking notes...this was way cool...look forward to 2 & 3 ;)
Great video, very helpful! Are parts 2 and 3 available yet? I'm about to tackle the same flooring issue and those videos would be extremely helpful for me. Thanks so much for making them.
Have the videos, just need to make it. The repair went well. Couple of takeaways:
1. Use thin plywood to make templates to fit C-Channel and match the hole you have cut out to the frame. Cardboard is too soft
2. We cut out triangle pieces to fit around C-channel nuts. We made three templates to work around the C-channel.
3. We installed 3/4" weather proofed plywood for the floor.
4. We went with cork floating flooring which is awesome to replace the laminate and brick tiles for the bathroom.
5. Working around the sink was the hardest part with the floating floor. good jig saw and thin blades were the trick with the cork. Hope this helps.
Why does everyone only start the video once everything is taken out???? Need to find one where it shows the process of removing everything.
Tasia Lysinger Not sure I understand your comment. Think that is what we tried to do. Sorry we didn’t get you there.
The first video was GREAT but Has anyone completed this since parts 2 and 3 have not been posted yet as I would like to see how to complete this project. I just bought a 37ft excella which has rotten wood in Bedroom area and am going to try to tackle it this spring
Thanks for the Video. I have a 2009 Airstream 27FB Ocean Breeze too that I have the same issue and am about to do the floor repairs myself. Your video has helped me figure out how I need to do the project. How did parts 2&3 go?
great video! where can i find parts 2 and 3?
thanks brother! Just got back from Grand Canyon, We have not started Part 2 or 3 videos yet, the work is complete. Now I have a reason to get on it. Thanks for liking and your comment.
What is going on with the background noise in the video? Birds, traffic, children playing... OMG
