  • ABOUT THIS EPISODE ℹ️ - Vinyl Plank Flooring RV Installation.
    After several months and multiple repairs to the Airstream we are finally ready to install our new vinyl plank flooring. This has been a longtime coming and we could hardly wait to complete this final repair so we can hit the open road once again. We have never undertaken a project like this, but what’s the worst that could happen? So sit back and see just how easy (or hard) this DIY project can be.

    Never buy an AS that does not have the new composite flooring. I am shopping now for another AS and won’t even consider a wood floor.

    • @thewrightlife
      @thewrightlife  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would agree. The composite floor is the most significant change to AS manufacturing in years. If we were to buy another AS it would have the composite floors.

      Hi Guys…thanks for the kind words. Lisa picked out the flooring and I just installed it (teamwork you know). Safe travels and happy camping ⛺️

    Maintenance and upgrades are all part of the “Adventure inspired by Airstream.”
    We have a 2010, so we get all of it!
    Maybe we’ll see you at the International 😊

    The floor looks great and we were certainly not offended by your craftsmanship! We'll be at Sedalia and we should consider if we want to get the TH-camrs together in some fashion...

    Love your disclaimer at the beginning, was the best!! 🤣 The LVP flooring is a great choice for what you are doing. Curves are hard! The bathroom is so small, it is difficult to move. That looks great Rick! WOOHOO! 🥳 Nice work. Hope you will be able to get back on the road now. 🤗Jim & Michelle

    I think the new flooring looks superb. A friend told me that you need to be a carpenter, electrician, plumber, sheet metal worker, auto mechanic, and cook if you plan to own an Airstream (or any other RV for that matter). Very true. You are definitely showing those skills while enhancing and improving your Airstream. Hope to see you at Alumalina.

      We are definitely a jack of all trades and masters of none 🤣. Thanks for watching and happy camping.

  • @cjwilly1862
    @cjwilly1862 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like your meticulous work! Did you calculate the weight added by the new flooring?

    • @thewrightlife
      @thewrightlife  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We did a rough estimate but plan to hit the CAT Scale on our next trip. At least the added weight is evenly distributed on the floor so our center of gravity shouldn’t be impacted.

  • @richardcooper7047
    @richardcooper7047 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Q?? Did you let your flooring acclimate before the install??

    • @thewrightlife
      @thewrightlife  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes…but since it’s not a climate controlled area I’m not sure it will matter much.

    Looks like a great color for the flooring. An excellent job with the flooring and the trim.

    • @thewrightlife
      @thewrightlife  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Half the challenge was picking the flooring color. That was all Lisa. I’m just the install guy 🤣

    This is why I’m surprised anyone would buy a pre owned airstream with a wood floor.

    • @thewrightlife
      @thewrightlife  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      At the time we bought our Airstream, there were no composite floors manufactured yet. That said, the new composite floors are a game changer in my opinion and will greatly enhance the durability and life of a well maintained Airstream.
