Impressive. Both your Airstream and your wife are aging well. You should be proud of them both!!
Thanks for sharing this fun topic. It's always fun to work with you guys :-). I saw a couple comments that I can respond to. Dawn detergent is commonly known to remove grease and tar from the exterior surface. There are other products but this is what I like to use. Only use this type of detergent if you plan on prepping a surface for wax otherwise it will remove your hard work. The exterior of your Airstream can be washed safely with an over the counter car wash soap, soft brush and micro fiber towels for drying. Regarding roof reseal... this needs to be inspected every year. Depending on how you store your Airstream or travel trailer your sealant may last longer. I store my Airstream inside and I expect to get 5 or more years of service from my reseal. You may live in the Arizona desert with direct sun exposure and may need to do this more frequently.
Vinnie talked about jacking up the trailer to change a tire on a tandem axle, I never use a jack, simply run the good tire up on leveling blocks and the flat tire is off the ground and easy to change.......that’s how I do it😁
Beautiful job on the "facelift"! I notice Vinnie did not blast a hole in his foot while cleaning the rig... Great having a handy Dad, too. I'd really like to see his cars
Nice job on the trailer. Airstreams are a commitment to maintain.
Thanks for a very good segment about Airstream maintenance. I don't own an Airstream, but the RV we travel in also has needs that are very similar so it was a great reminder that we need to care for the vehicle that makes life comfortable on the road.
Vinnie is a true craftsman. And Kudos to Harry for his fabrication skills.
Love your demeanor. Love the sense of humor. You're both good looking people and I'm sure you bathe regularly, so you've got it all going' on! Keep the videos coming!
haha, well we bathe regularly in full hookup sites! thanks much for your post, more vids on the way!
Thank you! Very informative. We have a Winnebago Travel Trailer and a lot of that stuff applies to any type of camper.
that drone shot of you driving across the bridge is incredible, nicely done
+Kevin Montalto Thanks, I was proud of that drone shot. It was a little risky due to the stiff winds and high trees across that gorge! Cheers
I have dealt with inept repair personnel at RV shops. Some of them will tell me that i cannot get a part that I need because my rig is too old. A competitor will hand me product information with an 800 number and I get my part. The first shop refused to hire me even though I was way more knowledgeable than their current crew. I wound up doing all my own repairs and maintenance.
Hi guys! We are from Santa Rosa, and your Airstream was/is parked next to ours on SR. Ave.!!! Vinnie just took our 2005 19' Bambi for sealing and other repairs. Love that guy! Thanks for introducing him to us!
+Gregory Fearon Hi Gregory, yep that was us! You guys are lucky to have Vinnie in Santa Rosa. We gotta drive across the country to get to him (but he's worth it)! Cheers
You guys are veritable cornucopias of RV knowledge...:)
It always amazes me how much New RV's cost & most aren't even built to be lived in 24/7. I watched a vid the other day on a 2015 Airstream. It was way over 100K.
Keep up the good work. Enjoy the vids.....:)
Thanks for the tips. Went and looked at all my sealed areas. Time to reseal. Enjoy your videos
Great video!!! Thank you. Vinnie looks like he takes great pride in his work. The trailer looks like new!!
Very interesting and well put together. You covered some things I've always wanted to know about Airstream skin repair and maintenance. Thanks !
This is cool. Good to watch. I live about half an hour south of the Airstream factory. I always liked how the trailers looked.
Hi Sean and Kristy! I’m in the process of purchasing a used 2012 Airstream Bambi. This is invaluable information for me. Thanks for taking the time to make this video
It's so much fun to dream about owning a brand new RV but very little thought goes into maintaining one. Thank you for this informative video helping me to consider all the factors in being a RV owner.
Nice video loloho ers. It's nice to find someone like Vinnie to keep the wheels turning. Hope we have the same fortune with our class A. Stay safe out there and God bless.
Great show, nice to see you back. I think a lot of the Air Stream applications or specialties would be applicable to my Gelcoated Rockwood Great content thanks.
I love your channel, very informative and fun to watch you guys. I'm not an Airstreamer but I've always thought they looked pretty cool. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for this video. I have a 1985 Excella 31' that I'm now going out to continue caulking before winter.
Wish I lived closer to Vinnie's Northbay Airstream Repair shop. Nancy
We thought of you kids when Cindy and I toured the Airstream factory over here last summer.
Great instructional video...please keep 'em coming!
Jim@MidOhio
The airstream looks amazing!!!!! Happy New Year!!!!1
One of my buddies did what Vinnie did to his rig and MAN I CAN APPRECIATE the hard work that goes into that process. One thing he did to his unit was to use a product on his exterior called "shark Hyde" it's suppose to protect the aluminum a little better. Who know he did this process in the fall so results are still to be seen. Awesome video as usual thank you for keeping the content free and taking us with you!
Vinnie is the best! Glad to see your rig all revitalized!
Thanks you guys.....I bought your books.......watched your videos......and signed a purchased contract for my first Airstream yesterday!...Thank You!
Thanks much, and CONGRATS on your Airstream! Welcome to the family!
Going to stay at the Devils Tower KOA in July. Cannot wait!! The hubby is hooked on these videos now!
Nice video..thanks so much for your time and effort. HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!
Thank you for a great video on.a topic that few people want to discuss. My wife and I are nearing retirement and have purchased a 1964 Airstream and having it renovated in Simi Valley, CA. We look forward to "hitting the road" soon and appreciate all your advice in each of your videos!
Thanks for the video! My girlfriend and I are finishing the ground-up build of a custom travel trailer and it has an aluminum skin on the exterior. Great advice on polishing the aluminum!
Always enjoy your videos! keep up the good work! I have gotten a few good tips from these videos, such as when pulling into a camp site, use the "Scoop" method to make it easier to back into the site. It may seem to be such a small thing, but it really does help.
I always enjoy your very informative and interesting videos! Thanks for sharing!
thanks for the video, as a first time rv owner, this shows me what needs to done and when. now I can figure how much of this i can do myself, and what should be done by a professional!
Great video guys, thanks! I have bookmarked Vinnie's website for any future Airstream work we may need done. Looks like the place to take your rig.
This was extremely helpful. I will definitely contribute to your patreon when my airstream sells since I will be using some ofthe tricks you just learned me on. Thanks again.
Awesome video about Vinney's shop and your rig thumbs up.
Thank you guys for referring me to this video! Love it Kristy when you said "Thank you Daddy. " That was funny! 😁 Take care and stay safe guys.
Would love to see a video on any safety precautions or self defense ideas/advice u may have or do when camping out alone in rural areas.
Awesome video. Very informative. Your rig looks great. Safe travels.
Recently I received an ad for a new product for exterior finishing from metal and painted surfaces to fabric and plastics, and even leather. It is called Top Coat F11. It puts a slick finish that repels water and allows dirt and bugs,etc to be washed off or removed without rubbing and scrubbing. Plus, it makes the finish of painted or metal surface shine like diamonds. You should check it out. Kind of expensive but probably worth it. Have not tried it myself, but I am seriously considering its purchase.
Wonderful video. Possibly required viewing for "newbies" as a lesson it's not all about the fun between the hitching and unhitching. Thumbs up, this is a keeper vid. Can't wait for the next installment of LOLOHO.
Thank-you! My husband and I just bought a new Airstream on New Years EVE ! We are so excited to start our journey. Loving your very informative channel! Hope your having a beautiful day.
Thanks for your post! We hope you enjoy your AIrstream as much as we have enjoyed ours. :)
thank you so much for this info. I've had my little trailer now for 5 yrs so it is in need of a bit of a face lift!! will set a date to get this done before the summer fun!! Happy trails!!
+Mary Hamilton Thanks Mary, yes the seals are the most important part. At the very least, have them inspected so you know all is okay. Hope to see you this summer! Safe travels!
Thank you!! Your videos are so incredibly helpful!
Great videos, just ran across your channel and have watched several of your videos.. Thanks so much for all your work sharing these with us!!! Oh yes, I have subscribed!! W.
Maybe my favorite video of yours so far. Thank you
Wonderful stuff!!! Thank you so much for sharing. Stay safe and warm. :) !!!!!!!!!!!!
You two are soooo awesome! You make us give a hardy LOL to LoLoHo!! Thank you for sharing your Airstream - we are looking and studying for our full time RV living and retirement! God bless! Harry and Pam Brooks
Thanks Harry & Pam! Of course we meet lots of retirees who are living the full time RV lifestyle. In fact next week we'll be staying in an Arizona RV park -- home of many winter snowbirds!
Strong work. Enjoyed that segment because I am a super proponent of maintenance. FYI there is a great company in the Denver area called The Metal Company and they can build all types of RV related tanks and metal boxes. They have their own forms for creating them. I got lucky and found them when I needed to replace a certain profile of siding material for a panel on my trailer. They can create almost any type of corrugated panel made of aluminum.
Not sure if I'll be an Airstream owner someday, but thanks again for the great info. Have fun out there.
While I am not an airstream person, this was very informative. I think many of the ideas are transferable to other RV's. In terms of your question on what we like in videos, the "how to's" like this one are great, but I also really like the location videos. Ideas of where to go in your RV, what you will find, what is best in a location are all great ways to build a bucket list of places to go in an RV; very helpful and interesting. I have been thinking about Halifax lately, have you ever been there? Thanks for all your great sharing!
Awesome! It is nice to find someone who provides quality services. Thank you for reminding us the importance of maintaining our rigs!
+Carrie Takushi Thanks, I think the opening quote in this video is particularly on point. Everybody loves getting new stuff, yet few love maintenance - but it is so important! I am trying to improve my own mindset with regards to maintenance on everything we own. Cheers
Great video! I think I'm going to do lots of these things to my rig in the spring once it's out of winter storage. Happy New Year, Sean and Kristy!
+Tim McGilloway Thanks Tim, Happy New Year to you!
Y'alls videos are fantastic. I'm a 19 year old and big goal of mine is to live in an airstream full time. These videos are so well made and super informative.
Once again, another wonderful and very helpful video. Thank you so much!
Sean, you & Kristy do a fine job with your videos. Very factual & interesting info..Keep up the good work..Ken
and as always enjoy watching your videos
Great video guys. Keep em coming !
Sean and Kristy -- Thanks for this vid on the kind of maintenance that is too easy to shy away from. It's time (this coming spring) to have our trailer resealed. We've got a more typical eastern TT but it's about 5 out of the factory and living in the great north, our trailer 'survives' through 4 months of sub 35 and snow every winter and then we do that 4.5 on the richter scale thing for 3 or so trips a year. So we're due to get a full inspection and probably a reseal around the roof components and windows lest evil water finds its way in. AND, our tongue (here's looking at U Sean) needs the sanding and repainting along with areas of the frame underneath. Our trailer did the winter show circuit a few too many times before we met it twice and purchased it. Ive been doing salt damage repair every year since and it's time to and and rustoleum the frame and tongue so it corrode-no-mo.
Thanks again!!
As a father, "Thank you, Daddy!", warmed my heart.
Happy New Year!
I love watching your videos. They are really fun and great info. I subscribed the first time I watched. Wouldn't want to miss any of them.
Thanks Cheryl! You are too kind. 😊
Thanks for a great video about a VERY under reported topic.
Hello,,,well I did show the WallMart video to the hubby and he is willing to try it!!! Yay!! Keep up the good work!!
+Sandra Oldfield Haha good to hear. We stayed at the Walmart in Coeur D'alene last year and it was fine.
Thanks for sharing. We have a Grey Wolf travel trailer, but the dream is to own an Airstream. Great video showing some of the important things needed to keep an airstream beautiful and functioning. :)
We really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you!
The rig looks great!
Good video kids......haven't seen one in a long time...LOL TruckcamperJim in Indiana
PS CUTE LITTLE DOGGIE !!!!
Great video guys, always enjoy the content :) We don't an airstream but the info is great advice for everyone.
very good vid I love the Air Streams wish I could afford one. Following John and Jade I want to let you know I'm lifting you two up tonight an want to say you two are great and encourage a lot of people with you show. keep it up ;)
Totally enjoyed this video and found it very interesting! Looking forward to the next. Thumbs up! Travel safe my friends....
Nice video! Just a tip on maintaining the exterior finish.....Dawn soap is great prior to all of the work Vinnie did, but should not be used after all of that laborious polishing. It will strip off the wax or other protection (which you should be using on clear coated panels). I reccomend optimum no rinse for use on your travels as you need very little water and it won't take up much space. Look up "auto fetish detail " on TH-cam, he has great recommendations for this product and has a video regarding an airstream as well. Happy travels!
very good information. I saved it to watch again at a later time, as a refresher sort of. :)
hey you two. If you've got bugs or tree sap get a bottle of simple green from walmart and spray it on. After about 5 minutes it will wipe off with a wet rag. I use it on my truck grill.
Good info and it would also be nice to see how the airstream looks completed. We were waiting for the beauty shot.
+Lisa Lori George Yes, I broke my foot on the last day of filming and was unable to get that final beauty shot. I thought we should go ahead and get the video out to people though. I did include a nice drone shot to make up for it. :-) We'll get some beauty shots of her this summer (once I can walk again!). Thanks, Sean
love the video We love Air Streams would like to get e Bambi some day. We have a 13 ft Trillum Fiberglass trailer and have gone all over going to meets and events . Keep up the good work enjoy your vids we are planning our trip to Vancover BC this summer
Great stuff. You guys are awesome! I wanna be like you when I grow up.
Great to see someone who obviously loves what he is doing. I'm assuming that the clay cloth would work well on a non airstream rv body?
Very talented craftsman.
Great information. Thanks for sharing.
Hiya Guys, Thanks for the extremely high standard of quality in your videos, as usual. It really doesn't go unnoticed the amount of effort that goes into the editing etc.. I must admit that I find it hard to believe that in 2016 all the roofs in all the r.v's are flat where there are any opening to allow for a.c. Units, vents/fans and the other stuff to be fitted. This can only encourage any water to come in should there be a very small crack/hole. I wonder why the industry don't have curved edges that point upwards by three inches. This would allow all the a.c. Units and any fittings fit over any holes cut in the roofs more efficiently, and in turn, reduce the risk of water damage from the roof area. It can be a little more tricky with aluminium but not impossible however, there's no excuse for the rest of the industry that has one piece moulted roofs! The manufacturers appear to put profit before customer satisfaction and product quality.
Great video! May I suggest you do a video on this question: One or two air conditioning units. What are the advantages/disadvantages of one or two AC units? I don't own an airstream but I am contemplating buying in the future. Thank you.
great info. thanks
loved Alaska, please show more like that. God Bless
Great video. Very good information. Thank you.
Thank you.you guys are GREAT
Great topic. Great video. Thanks!
Looks great!
"Thank you Daddy" Repeat that often and frequently to your father with a hug. We need it from our little girls!!
HeyLOLOHO, love your blog. We are brand new airstreamers and are learning so much from you.Thank you.
Mas Tierra y mas (Karen and Richard Warren).
So great Please tell more about Airstream upkeep
Beautiful rig!
Love your dad's cars. You should do a vid about him.
love your videos. I look forward to them like my wife does Downton Abbey
Ha! Downtown Abbey fan Kristy says "that's the highest compliment we've ever received!"
Thanks - very informative!! Seems more work on exterior than other trailers.
+RelentlessHomesteading yes, I think aluminum is more maintenance than fiberglass. It's definitely more delicate.
Good solid information. Nice Job.
catching up on all your videos . I will check up on the cloth might not need that yet on a new keystone travel trailer. well almost new one year old next month. still praying and wishing you all the best. catch you on the road. maybe at Alpine Tx. cowboy poetry gathering. Marty and Dottie.
I'd like to see you cover the options for RV'ers when emergencies arise on the road and you have to leave everything behind to fly home.
+Kevin Thomas Indeed, we have developed some expertise in that area and will likely do a video. But can you handle the blood and broken bones? ;)
+Long Long Honeymoon I've read about Sean's recent podiatric misadventures. I can handle a little blood and gore. Just edit in a "graphic content ahead" warning.
