Airstream Trailors

[Guest guest]

I would like to locate one of Tad 's airstreams BUT He is not making them

anymore. Do you have heat and air??? Do you know anyone who would part with one

of Tad 's trailers??? My cousin has land I could park myself on. Also a

friend in West Virginia has land.

Yes, I believe I did talk to Tad and that it was he who told me that

Airstreams are pretty bad when it comes to condensation.

His modified Airstreams are pretty nice, for those who can afford

them.

I decided to go with my own design, which allows the condensation

to run down the inside wall and out the bottom without encountering

anything that could grow mold. Well, actually, there's nothing in

the camper except metal and plastic, so about the only thing it

could possibly find would be accumulations of organic material and

dust inside a wall.

I bolted together a basic aluminum frame, used steel studs for a

four inch wall, and pop riveted on the exterior aluminum skin.

Cost about $4,000 in materials.

Rather than trying to minimize condensation, I built it in such a

way that no amount of condensation is a problem. I could wash the

inside with a garden hose, if I really had to.

Also I built it as a shell with all areas accessible from the

interior, so that if somehow there was a problem, I can take the

wall apart and replace virtually everything but the metal frame and

skin.

Just in case something were to happen in the winter, which is the

most " condensation intense " time.

I really did get tired of getting kicked around by this stuff.
